Yup, me, though just the tailgate glass and not the rear side windows.

OK, the early Mk5 GTIs and R32s had a blue tint (PR: 4KQ) - this was before the privacy glass appeared on the options list.  From 2007ish, the blue tint was droped and all Mk5s (even the poverty spec ones) had/have green tinted windows (PR: 4KC).  The privacy glass is merely a 'black on green' if that makes sense.  (PR: 4KF)

Because film tints look shyte.  The rear screen on the Golf Mk5 has a double curvature, and it is very difficult to get the films to stick properly without bubling or creasing.  Also, like most modern glass, they have a black border which transitions into dots, then fully clear, and when the tint film is applied over this, it looks really pants, and quite cheap-skate.  All IMVHO of course!

And . . . . . . so are windscreens, and so are rear screens.  If you go to a proper car glass window fitter, they will have no probs replacing bonded windows.  That kind of work is their 'bread and butter' work these days.  The only real issue on the GTI and R32 is the need to remove the rear spoiler to change the rear screen.  However, if you sweet-talk a friendly local independent screen fitter, rather than the rip-offs like AutoGlass, SilverShield, etc, then they could even to the rear screen as an insurance job, and you could then offer to pay for the side windows which are much easier.
