:lol: I stand corrected then I thought it was on both sides :Handshake:

Lol no just passenger side. I didn't even notice until someone riding in the back asked me about it.

Thanks for the thoughts guys. I guess I'll tint them and see, but it sounds like it's a non-issue. :)

For those of us wondering WHAT function it serves, I guess we could pop off the wire that goes to the connector on the window and see what it affects.

I do not have experience with this but I have heard that many people have had trouble seeing out of the back windows when tinted darker

Maybe the OP could just put up a bunch of aluminum foil on the rear windows to enhance reception! :popcorn:

It is amazing how quickly topics can go from one thing to completely another on here :) We went from tinting the back windows to aluminum foil hats :laughing1: Oh Dear!

Anywho, I am just confirming two things. One, it should not be a problem saxart. Two, the rear passenger window has the AM/FM antenna built in. They wanted to eliminate that "wind catcher of a pole" everyone else has by adding it into the rear window.

And, you guys really have that many blind spots? Do you have your side mirrors turned so you can see yourself in them? I find that I can see fairly well in my Tahoe. Now, my friends Traverse on the other hand...
