Very good question. I was actually looking to post this same question as I am scheduled to have my car tinted this weekend.Sorry, VLT = Visible Light Transmission
I am looking to tint my ride and my state law has a VLT threshold that is a combination of the film and window's VLT. I figured the factory glass has some tint to it so I was curious if anyone knew.
Thanks,

A good read. Thanks. I suppose it's optional for a manufacturer to list the VLT or tint. I definitely saw the Chevy (or was it a Ford lol) have 50% clearly on the glass.According to this website Click me, Neither is the VHT. The DOT number is the glass manufacturer's Dept of Transportation registration number. The M number is the mfgr's part number. I'm not sure of the accuracy of that webpage.
I've never tinted windows before, can you post about the job and how hard it is? The local guys are charging $499 to do my car. (All windows with ceramic tint)I found this thread:
http://www.hyundai-forums.com/md-2011-2016-elantra-sedan-coupe/136631-2012-elantra-limited-solar-glass-vlt.html
Which indicates the stock factory "solar" glass has 74% VLT. So when I put it with this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073LVB44X
I should get 74% x 35% = 25.9% Net VLT
Texas law states:

"Front Side windows: Must allow more than 25% of light in."
SWEET!
