    Most if not all windshields are tinted from the factory. Pretty light, typically, but often with a darker band across the top. I assume you mean aftermarket tinting. There states do have specific guidelines.

    I had the first ffr windshield break sitting in the garage with no miles on it, ffr replaced it for 50% off ,then i broke the new one after it was installed drilling for the dash mirror, so then i ordered the one from ********** and now have 7k miles on it with no problem, you also need to watch the angle on your uprites i had to bent them to match the windshield frome and where they bolt to the frame under the body.
    I had to twist them where they come thru the body.

    Mine Cracked this past weekend in the Garage. I pulled the car out of the garage on Sunday, and after getting into the sunlight I noticed a crack in the pass side center going up about 6". No rock chips or anything. It cracked while sitting in the garage. The body was put on in sept 2018, and have just over 1000 miles in it.

    Guess I'll see if the offer form Dave is still available.
