Anyone know if/how much a car's window can be tinted in PA? Are there any other stipulation i.e. the driver's side window cannot be done? Can anyone give me any additional info/pointers that might be helpful?

Thanks,
Mickey

 

Try the Motor Vehicle website for PA, or the locas police station.

 

hmmm...I guess this is why my friends who are on the job simply say, "don't". The laws, while not prohibitive above 70%, are extremely vague.

correction...I meant "below 70%". I guess as long as I stay around 30-35%, I should be ok.

 

I would say go with the 30%. Or do some aditional searching. Cant inagine that the law would be so vague.
So then it would be up to the officier to determine how dark is too dark.

 

You will be just fine at 30 just dont put tint on the front lowe than 2 inch

 

Factory glass is 70%, but that law is gone. They just say occupant must be visible. I got 35% on my A4 and it looks great, still can see in (some) and so far have not even been looked at funny and I have seen a lot of police. I am more worried about the speed than the tint

 

I live in Bucks County. I had 20% on all my windows and I got pulled over. The cop told me that 30% was the legal limit, so thats what I got on now with no probs. Just be careful though cus if a cop wants to be an a-hole they can probably still get ya. My friend had 35% and got nailed for that.

 

the % is how much candle watt power is visible through the tint. in PA, you must have 70% of the light showing from the outside visible throught the tint. so if you got a **** of a cop that stops you for tint, he can take that 6 cell mag light, open your door and beam it through your window and "judge" the %. if you get fined, you may be able to fight it by taking it to a certified dealer that can run the light through it and tell you exactly the % in you tint.

 

Most cops let you go ont he tint in PA because they are well aware there is no definative way to measure it and the know the law is quite vague. A cop that tells you a certain % is illegal actually has no idea. If he can see you, it is legal. If you get in trouble, just sit int he car, take a picture to show that your face is visable. Usually 35% is the way to go.
