Here's mine with a 30% tint - its too light as its very easy to see what's in the car. My previous car had a 20% tint which offers more security in terms of hiding what's in the car.

I dont know what % the factory fitted tints are but I would get the same, it is just right, I do not need to use the load cover to hide items in the rear, it looks right without being OTT, and from the inside you dont notice its there.

Although this is my latest XC, the tints are the same as I had on my MK 1cars.

Yours looks about the same as what we've gone for.

Just got to wait until they can fit us in....end of October.

Don't go too dark if you have a dark interior as it gives the appearance of a darker tint mine's is the factory whatever that is but got it done on my audi a4 years ago it had a black interior. I went for the mid tint you could see straight through but couldn't see anything inside.the car the volvo is the same. Would have it without the tints looks classy
Cheers
