Like the glass fitted to the GTI, if it's original.
If secondhand the glass will state 'Tinted' in the corner where you can see the British Standards marking.
Personally I'd not buy a screen with a Green, brown, blue top band as I find them annoying especially at night.
The original green tinted glass was available as factory extra back 80's on some other models. The feature being it reflected the heat much like the modern dark glass does today but it always looked a darn sight cooler to the eye! 😉 👍🏼

I think all Gti and all cabriolets cars came with a tinted glass and it was basic tintop cars which had no tint…..?

My white 1988 Gti cabriolet came with a full green tinted glass and I believe that was standard issue…
