Privacy Glass.
Does anyone know if the factory fitted privacy glass is actually smoked glass or a surface fitted tint film?

Ahh, right! Thought as much.
I've found a beauty but the dealer has said the privacy glass seems to be the stick on film kind... :-(
I'm not a big fan of that.. Back to the drawing board...!
Is there any significant differences between the Limited XS and the standard Executive models?

Which model and year is the vehicle?
As far as I'm aware, only the basic models had clear glass all round. If the dealer is reporting the stick on film then this could have been added in addition to the existing tinted glass or perhaps even fitted to the front side windows. If the latter then it could be illegal and may need to be removed. (But I would think the dealer knows that)

Its a 2005 Limited XS.
I queried it as it does look a lot darker than usual, but that could be just the photo...

I've just dug out my 2004 Chrysler brochure and according to that:
Dark sunscreen glass (B pillar rearward, including tailgate) was an option on the SE and LX but fitted as standard on the Limited and XS.
Of course non of this may be relevant because the brochure is from 2004 and the spec changed from year to year.

If it's a 2005 Limited XS then I would say that it's definately tinted glass. The level of tint in the photo looks about right to me. Compare the photo to some of those for sale in Autotrader.
Sometimes grease spots on the glass gives the impression of air bubbles but I think you should have a look at the car yourself to put your mind at rest.

The cynic in me thinks that may be so she doesn't have to transfer it to another branch and possibly lose the commission herself?
I would fear air bubbles and curling corners with the film type of tinting..
Ive also seen a nice 'Executive' model, which just seems to be missing the DVD player, but dies have climate control that the XS does not...
My head is hurting trying to find one....

I'm in Orkney and the car is in Hull, so I have to take her word for now..I may just tell her what you've said and ask her to double check though...
I can get a 2007 Executive for the same sort of money somewhere else though..
With the silver accents to the dash instead of dark wood.
