Tints

[XT2]

Hi.

Can anyone tell me what is the legal limit to car window tints? I mean, how dark can one get them done?

You can have as dark as you like from the B-Pillar back..( rear windscreen and rear door windows) but you can't do anything to your front door windows or windscreen.

Hi,

Obviously, some window tinters are not bothered about following the law regarding the front window legislation but Pentagon are very strict about it.

I had the Light Smoke SupaGlass tints added to my Verso when it was new and they did a fantastic job. The security film is actually heat bonded to the glass and they claim it takes over a minute of smashing the glass with a hammer before you can break into the car.

Fortunately, I have not had occasion to test that.

B pillar back, any darkness, but i think front can't do much as the front factory tints brings it close to limit already. i went for smoke at b-pillar and behind, fronts light smoke, as felt looks better esp if u tint back and not front, although it is illegal, but as q big car front window tints dont look too dark, hopefully not attract too much attention from the old bill.

So anything forward of the B pillar is now banned completely? Or are you still allowed a very light tint?
