re: Window Tint Question

I got 5% all around plus almost half of my front windshield has a 5% strip… I go get a inspection sticker by rolling both my front windows down, and then unplugging the master door window switch which will not allow any of the other windows to go up or down… when I go get a inspection sticker I just tell them my window motors are out and it makes it where they can’t check them.. it’s kind of a gray area, legally you don’t have to have front door windows, so if they can’t check they can’t fail you, most they can do is tell you to come back when they can be rolled up… most of the time they don’t even car about the front windshield

It doesnt work like this anymore. now there's a form you have to get from the dmv, get it filled out by the doc, has to have a coded medical condition, not just "light sensitivity" and a reason you cant wear sunglasses, and then has to be approved by the dmv, but they dont approve very many of them anymore. Basically state police is cracking down on it because they dont like walking up to dark vehicles.

Simply go to an optometrist and let them know you are having trouble driving at high noon and early afternoon when the sun is glaring down. They'll write you a waiver that you then get endorsed on your DL and a document for your glove box. At that point, you'll be clear to have limo tint on any and all windows both if you get stopped by 5-O for speeding or annual inspection.

Also if you are doing it for heat rejection the best tints out there reject the same amount of heat regardless of how light or dark.

Yep. The good ceramic tints block heat no matter the percent tint
