Quick answer
The finished Santa Fe pairs 5% on the rear glass with 50% Ceramic+ on the front. From outside you cannot see into the back at all, while the front stays clear for driving and still rejects heat. It is one of the most popular and easiest packages to sell on a family SUV.
This is the final walk-around of the 2025 Hyundai Santa Fe from our install series. The back got 5%, and as Julio shows, you cannot see into those windows at all. The front got 50% ceramic. In his words: this came out amazing.
Key takeaways
- 5% in the back: full privacy for passengers and cargo.
- 50% Ceramic+ up front: clear visibility with real heat rejection.
- The contrast looks intentional and premium on an SUV.
- An easy package to quote: privacy behind, comfort in front.
What the customer gets
The rear windows are dark enough that nobody can see the passengers, the car seats or anything left in the cargo area. The front windows look close to factory from a distance, yet the cabin stays noticeably cooler because the ceramic is blocking heat rather than just darkening the glass.
Why this package sells
Most SUVs already have some factory privacy glass in the back, and customers want it darker and consistent. Up front they want comfort without losing visibility at night. 5% behind and a light ceramic in front answers both, and it is simple to explain in one sentence at the counter.
Matching the look
When the rear glass is very dark and the front is light, a clean, consistent install matters more, because any flaw stands out. Clean prep (prepping a door panel), tight edges (gel for edge tack) and a properly shrunk back glass (dry shrinking) are what make the walk-around look this good.

Questions shops ask
What tint is on this Santa Fe?
5% on the rear glass and Onyx Ceramic+ 50% on the front.
Can you see into 5% tint?
Not in normal daylight from outside, which is why it is the go-to privacy shade for rear glass.
Is 50% ceramic noticeable?
It looks light from outside but rejects a lot of heat, so the difference is felt more than seen.
