Where do i stand legally when it comes to tinting the windscreen or a deep sun strip?

Answer 1

Depends on your own states laws. Check your Department of Transportation website.

Answer 2

I am an M.o.T tester in the u.k.

Any thing on the windscreen larger than a 40mm circle outside a 280mm wide vertical strip directly infront of the driver (other than the tax holder or certain authority stickers) or, a 10mm circle inside the strip are failures if it is not a design feature of the vehicle.

Obviously other countrys have different law`s.

Answer 3

You need to follow your state's guidelines for the measurements of how wide the tinting can be, and also, the depth of tint. Usually the Dept of Transportation has that info, the State Patrol may have it, as well. After market decals that say the make of the car, can only be 6inches wide in most states, although they are sold 9inches wide. You still have to go by your states rules/regs, or you will be ticketed.

Answer 4

You can have a sun stripl You cannot have a tinted windscreen for safety reasons.

Answer 5
