so I got pulled over in this FINE state of Illinois today for having window tint. I have never tinted the car ever and always heard that the Carlite film on the window was an anti-glare film and was Ford's doing? Is this true? My initial search has turned up nothing and I need to find out before I act a fool trying to fight this "ticket". If I am in the wrong then I will certainly do the right thing, but would Ford sell a factory option that wasn't 50 state legal?

Judging from your avatar, your windows are tinted. That is not solar tint. Nearly EVERY vehicle today is equipped with solar tinted glass. It used to be an option where if the vehicle was equipped with A/C, the glass was solar tinted. Nowadays, since every car had A/C, pretty much every car has solar tinted glass.

It is more of a reflective coating than tint, and BARELY darkens the window. It's legal because it's not even tint really.

But looking at your avatar, your windows have been previously tinted and it appears to be an illegal shade.

Got any better pics to verify?
