They do make a noticeable difference in day-to-day driving. The sunlight doesn’t seem as harsh as before, especially on those long drives.
BHPian chiranjitp recently shared this with other enthusiasts:
When VW updated the Polo to meet BSVI norms in 2020, they plonked in the lovely 1.0TSi engine and mated it with a 6-speed MT (along with a 6-speed TC). Features & looks remained the same as the facelift that was launched a few months back, except for one thing. The highline+ variant got factory-tinted glass.
Ever since I bought my Polo in 2022 (used 2019 Polo TDi), I wanted to retrofit these tinted glasses, but it never materialized until last month. Last month I somehow stumbled upon a piece of used tinted glass from a scrapped Polo (only one piece, rear LHS), so that was plan on. As for sourcing the remaining three glasses, I tried my luck with VW ASC. Thankfully they were very cooperative, replied that the front glasses were in stock with them, the rear one would need to be ordered (only the rear RHS one in my case). The rear glass came within 10 days, accordingly, I got all 4 glasses fitted at VW ASC. Front glasses are priced at Rs. 2300 per piece & rear ones at Rs. 1908 per piece.
The green-tinted glass does make a noticeable difference in day-to-day driving, the sunlight doesn’t seem as harsh as before, especially on those long drives. Also in this era of sun film ban, this is a great option. Overall very happy with the upgrade, 10k well spent!

Quarter glass are still stock, so I got them tinted with 70% green tints, infact even now they are more transparent than the factory tinted glasses.
