Automotive tinting specifics

Trunk Glass Tint

Trunk glass tint refers to film applied to the rear hatch or tailgate glass on hatchbacks, estates and SUVs — typically the same darkness as the rear windscreen on sedans.

On hatchbacks, MPVs and SUVs, the rear glass is part of the tailgate or rear hatch rather than a separate windscreen. Installation is essentially the same as a sedan rear windscreen but with even more compound curvature on many designs.

The rear glass usually contains the defroster grid and the high-level brake light, both of which must be respected during installation. Cameras and parking sensors must also remain operational.

For Singapore drivers loading children, pets or cargo through the tailgate, tinted rear glass adds privacy and heat rejection during long stops with the back to the sun.
