Toyota Prius glass: what to know before tinting
- Second- through fourth-generation Prius hatches have a split rear window: an upper sloped glass and a small vertical glass below the spoiler. Each gets its own piece of film.
- The rear hatch glass is film-ready like a sedan back window, with defroster lines the film goes over, never through.
