What does rear side privacy glass mean in cars?
2 Answers
Rear side privacy glass in cars refers to the side windows that are coated with a special film, making all rear side windows darker to enhance privacy inside the vehicle and block sunlight. This feature is commonly found in many business vehicles. Its functions include: 1. Enhancing privacy inside the vehicle; 2. Blocking sunlight to provide a safer and more comfortable environment for passengers. Privacy glass is made using a metal functional layer through lamination or magnetron sputtering technology, offering high performance in reflecting solar radiation heat and visible light. Maintenance methods for the glass include: 1. Using dedicated or suitable wiper blades to avoid scratching the glass; 2. Using a soft cloth when cleaning the car; 3. Using specialized glass cleaner to wash the glass; 4. Applying heat-insulating film to the glass.
What about the rear side privacy glass? As an owner, I found that it's actually the window glass designed to be dark or tinted, making it difficult for people outside the car to see the interior of the rear seats, while passengers inside can still see everything outside. This is quite common in SUVs or commercial vehicles, like my Toyota Highlander, which has this feature. After installation, the biggest benefit I noticed is the privacy protection, especially when I'm driving friends or family around, without worrying about passersby peeking or taking photos. Moreover, it blocks a significant amount of UV rays and heat, making the rear seats less scorching in summer and reducing the workload on the air conditioning. When washing the car, I make sure to use a soft cloth to wipe it to avoid scratches. For families with children or for business use, this feature is a great tool to enhance comfort and a sense of security.
