Just got my back glass replaced under warranty due to the defroster coming detached again. But have a dumb question, is the back glass grid always this prominent in orange color? I don’t recall it being that noticeable on the original. But I also had tint on there like seen in the second photo

The orange is correct, but why didn't they give you a tinted window to match the side windows?

Ok thanks, just seemed to stick out more than I remember on the old one. It was all factory warranty work and they don’t cover the tint supposedly. So I figured I would take it to my local tint shop I used before to get it done.

I just got my Jeep back from the tint shop. the design must be different on this glass. The original one does not have this noticeable of orange grid in it.

You must have the Sport, without any tint. My Sport S has tinted glass. When they replaced my back window, after three failed attempts to fix the defrost cable, it was replaced with tinted glass. That was a couple of weeks ago. So far, so good.

I have a Rubicon but they must of ordered the glass without tint. They are ordering a new glass in to replace it again. Come to find out, the glass they first ordered didn’t have any factory tint like you mentioned. Hopefully the one they order will.
