What have you got?
Newish car will have factory privacy glass.
If it is factory, they cannot whinge about it.

Isn't privacy glass stained dark? e.g. doesn't have any film applied to the top of it.
If so, you can only removed it by removing the rear window, if the car was sold here in Australia with privacy glass then it shouldn't cause any problems at the pits.

People have privacy glass then add tint.

Remove the tint

The car did have tint on the privacy glass hence the yellow sticker but i went through the pits today and although the glass is factory apparently its less than 35% so they wouldnt pass it, and it on a 2006 pig nose wrx!

They cannot fail a factory fitted feature.. otherwise the cars would not be sold in Australia this way.

Just spoke to the Welshpool tech centre and they confirmed that if factory that they can't defect the car however now it's finding out whether or not it is factory as the glass is defiantly privacy glass but how do i go back to the inspection centre and prove that infact it is a legal factory item ! tryed ringing subaru dealerships to no avail thus far !
