Suppose it different in the US to the UK but in the UK the police can use a light detector to check the level of a tint as a percentage on a cars Windows. We are only allowed 30% by law front of the B pillar, you can go as dark as you want to the rear of the B Pillar and this is usually the manufactures inbuilt tint, although not dark, it is coloured and designed to reflect and stop a portion of UV Ray's. Light colour of a tint does not always equal a very low or no light stopping ability.robertd33 wrote:ah... the tint IN the glass has almost no darkening & wouldn't be considered as part of it.Angie4m wrote:No, there is a tint within the glass itself that cannot be removed. It's in most if not all glass in modern cars to cut down on UV rays.robertd33 wrote:
do you mean put tint on top of tint?
no installer would do that; remove old tint, put on new.
tint film applied at the factory does.
If we add a tint to it and you are pulled it can be checked and it would then exceed the 30% front of the B Pillar rule and you would be required to remove it.
