There are three types of windows on the FC.

There is no tint in the glass at all (found on most base models like the 86-87 base, the 86-87 sport, 88 SE, 89-90 GTU).

Then there was a slight blue/green tint on most mid and upper level models. This can easily been seen by a darker band of tint at the top of the windshield.

And finally there was a Bronze tint found on 10th AE and Infini models. Again, there was a darker band at the top of the windshield.

None of the tints were as much as most aftermarket tints and you could easily see through the glass.

What about tinting on the side rear view mirrors? Mine are tinted a slight blue and it's kinda weird.

I think that was just from the cheap soda glass that the supplier used, because all the mirrors I have seen from Mazda seem to have that.

I was under the impression the mirrors were that way to reduce glare from people on your *** at night?

Well as long as it's normal. Personally I'm not a fan of it, but oh well. Did they all come like that?

My drivers side glass decided to just ******* randomly fall off yesterday (super pissed) so I need to order/find a new glass piece.
