Sekurit is the standard OE glass manufacturer for the 'rado, but they never came from the factory with a tint.

 

I believe Mr. Haywire has one of the aforementioned tinted jobbies tho...

I've just finished mine,i bought a green 'touring car' top tint which i bought from demon tweeks,good product but a word of advice if you're attempting this mod yourself,first i personally say that to get a first class job the tint has to fitted while the screens out of the car,the manufacturers state that it's just as easy fitting the tint without sreen removal,it's not,it's a pig of a job because 1,the corrado's screen is concave,meaning that you will have to cut a strip off the top of the tint inorder to achieve a straight edge,2,take the backing piece off the tint in a bath of water,then apply it to your SPOTLESSLEY CLEAN screen,if you fail to do this,as soon as you remove the backing plastic(already soaked in soapy water), without it being under water,minute dust particals will stick to the glued side which cannot be removed afterwards...,1 other thing,be carefull what tool you use to remove air bubbles/water,the film is very easily scratched.

Saint Gobain are a French company, a high quality processor of glass and other such materials. We have used their plastic seals in the aero engine I'm working on, so my guess is they will make pretty good window tints!
