I don't think most people roll down their windows when backing. I also doubt whether they clean their windows before backing.

Not only that, there's many situations where you may not be able to see, and won't be able to clean the windows.

I know I can't clean my mirrors/windows while driving.

Mine have a 20% on them, but I am removing it because its all scratched up, from years of wiping the widows,...I don't think I'll put it back on,...I find even the light tint can be a problem sometimes,...but who knows,...it only takes a few hours to do it,...so I might change my mind after I get it off and see that I like it better tinted.

Ive had mine lightly tinted in all my trucks (about 15 years now) Once in a blue moon I'll roll down my pass. window if it's really sloppy out and I'm blind siding in somewhere new. I also have back up lights so that helps out a lot at night. The thing I like about it is that when you pass someone the glare from their lights is not an issue. Guys can use their high beams to signal me over all day long. Not a problem LOL

I always roll down my windows shen I back anywhere. I think sometimes what you hear when backing is as important as what you see. Rolling down the windows also eliminates glare and ghosting with the mirrors especially when blind siding.
