i think the glass in the back is right at 20% i hate the factory tinted windows..makes it a little tough to match the fronts exactly to the back but you can get pretty close

It is right between 35% and 20%. 35 on the front roll downs will be slightly lighter, 20 on the front roll downs will be slightly darker.

FWIW, when I had mine done, the shop informed me that the factory sides are something like 25% and the read is 17%

I was told by my tint guy that the rears were right around 20% and that is what he did on the fronts and my eyebrow... matches very well as far as I am concerned.... check my gallery for pics at different angles and lighting... with windows as big as we have on these trucks, at 35% or even 20% sometimes they dont look all that dark... but at night, I sometimes have a hard time backing up

I have 20% on my front windows and a banner across the front window too. The match is darn near perfect.

I just tested the rear Quad Cab door windows on my 2004 truck.

I used a Laser Labs TM100 Auto-Calibrating Window Tint Meter.

The rear windows are 17%.

I did measure both the passenger side and driver side rear door windows, both showed the same 17% number.
