    Please post if you find out. Was looking at installing a 2m/70cm antenna on the back window. I believe I read that the window glass itself has the tint made into it. Not a film.

    I didn't ever find a definite answer but I did do some testing with my GMRS HT and Surecom SF-401 Plus. With the rear window closed and the HT next to the driver's head rest, I got a signal strength of 73 on the Surecom. With the window open it jumped to 90. I did the test a few times and numbers were pretty consistent. Looks like about a 20% reflection/attenuation on GMRS frequencies. Hope that helps.
