My glass is ok but not up to top shape and I want the chrome vent windows. I ordered them with tinted glass...just came yesterday....glass kinda looks a little "Green". Has anyone put tinted glass in when changing ALL windows? Should I return the vent window and replace it with non- tint glass.

Thanks for your opinion.

I had a glass shop cut me all new glass for my truck, including the vent windows, it was twice as dark as the factory tint. they installed the vent glass in the vent windows. If you order glass make sure you tell them you want the edges of the door and vent window glass sanded smooth, maybe most shops would automatically do this but theses boneheads didn't and they had to do it later by hand, which doesn't give you as nice a edge. the two vent windows and two door glass windows and back window , cost me about 350.00. thats all tempered glass too
