I always thought that on close inspection one could work out the difference between a factory tint and an after market one.

Hard to say. I was led to believe it was privacy glass, so never had a need to check it. According to the Autoglass manager I spoke to, he said they should have spotted it was a tint, but having said that, neither of them physically checked the glass to see if it was.

It was only after the new one was put in that the technician then checked the old one out and spotted the tint. That was done using his finger nail and moving it back and forth near the edges of the glass. Visually, he pointed it out to be, but it was only easier to see because I could get really close to the glass as it was out of the car.

Afterwards, I checked the side windows, and on initial inspection, you wouldn't spot it. I literally had to look at the edge of the glass from a couple of inches away, and then only by looking up towards the edge of the glass. Doing it this way, I then noticed a small 1mm line of clear glass, and on even closer inspection noticed that it wasn't 100% in line with the glass.
