Corolla glass

Is the glass on these cars already tinted? I cannot find anything on this car like I can find for the Camry which has 70% VLT and UV rejection on all the windows. American built Camry also has HSEA windshield.

Does the Corolla windshield already have HSEA glass or UV rejecting glass?

I would think so, it looks slightly darker than my older car. That might just be the black interior tricking my eyes though.

Most new windshields have a 10-12% decrease in VLT because of the thicker glass and layering of vinyl in between.

from what i have heard, newer cars come stock with 92-95% tint, VERY VERY light, but yes, they do have stock tint technically.

In order for my tint to read 35% (max in MO), I had to get 40% tint. On top of the stock tint, it came out reading 36% i believe

I was more curious about the UV and HSEA properties actually.

I found a diagram once that showed all the 2007 Camry windows and the window tint on them but I haven't found any such diagram for a Corolla.
