Easy way to tell is to look at the rear boot quarter windows. If you can see the copper colour wires on the glass then it will be aftermarket tints. Factory ones aren't filmed, the glass itself is tinted. 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

I'm pretty it is filmed as there's a few nicks in the rear windows. I can't see any edges at all though. Why they have had the glass out to film it? I don't want to start pulling it if I can't get it all off |

There a few videos around to help remove the tint film, best seem to involve heat and / or steam. Which ever method you use, it looks like a long job.

If you do decide to remove them take it very slowly and use lots of steam on the side windows with antenna on, and the rear heated screen. When I decided to remove mine from the TD6 I had loads of the silver strip peel away with the film even though I took my time and steamed them well. Regretted doing it afterwards! 😔 2012 Westminster TDV8 4.4 Indus Silver
