What does this mean?

This marking is on the front windshield. Does this mean that it is dyed to 70%? Thanks

No, it's just acknowledging it conforms to windshield standards. Glass by its nature absorbs some light and that's just acknowledging it conforms to the standard. It's not a 70% tint as you'd think. It is UV glass though and blocks dash killing rays unlike older vehicles. You can slap a 50% tint on your windshield however and see virtually no noticeable difference, but makes a world of difference in summer. Helps ease oncoming headlight dazzling as well. I tint all vehicle windshields to 50% and nobody has ever noticed. It's nice though

Im wondering why they changed the name from Carlite to Carlex for their glass lol

The color change isn't as noticeable as the phone's correction are making it look.

I've always got 5 0 hanging out in my office's lot waiting for 'customers' -- I've had 3 different officers look at it and none of them could tell a difference. I told them it's got 50% on it -- one of them went and had his silverado done. Ironically it's the same shop that does the tint and decals for the city's vehicles.
