Car Window Tint Laws?
Hi Everyone!
We’ve been asked a few times now about tinting car windows.
I’ve read a bunch of websites, but they all seem to tell different stories.
Does anyone here know the real UK Laws on car tinting?
(or point me to a good web page)I don’t want to take orders, until I know the law.
Thanks
Joseph

straight from the gov.

Pre April ’85 – must allow 70% L.T on windscreen & glass forward of ‘B’ pillar
Post Aptil ’85 – must allow 75% on windscreen, 70% on glass forward of ‘B’ pillar
Rear passenger & back windows – unlimited tint.
Bearing in mind most modern cars came with all of the glass pre-tinted to around 15 to 20% (80% L.T.) – there is virtually no room to add extra tint legally to any window you are legally obliged to be looking through.

I just had my 2 front side windows tinted this past Saturday. I know I’m here in the US but I was talking to the installer, he said that since the car manufactures are using tinted glass his business has dropped off by 50%.
He also said that he has started doing homes and offices.
