Nissan's and other manufactures glass have a small amount of UV protection (sometimes a green color) in the glass to help protect the interior. It is not tint and it will not peel. It is IN the glass itself and not on the outside of the glass.

^ his point is that it doesn't peel off. and i can't see a way for anything to start peeling off on my windows either. you just had bad luck with whatever tint the dealer or someone else slapped on before you got the car

Correct, the factory UV protection will never peel off. It is INSIDE of the glass. Have you ever broken a car window before or had a car window broken? You can see through the inner parts of the glass and it still has that coating. It is in the glass itself not on the surface.
TINT is a aftermarket tint that some dealer had put on that is peeling. It is not the factory UV protection which no one really considers it "TINT".
