Most likely hub is loose relative to bearing. Which means it might reappear again...

Regarding the tint, if there is any light "factory" tinting to the glass it will be darker when fitted with tint film. In that case you need something a little bit lighter than the "tick approved 35%" stuff to stay legal.

The VZR has a slight tint to the glass already and 35% will take it just over the limit...re registering it as a commercial vehicle isn't an option(as much as I'd love black out tints)due to having to remove the back seats/belts etc.
