Temple City, California
Window tint on your vehicle needs to meet California's rules, and knowing them before you book saves time and trouble later. This guide covers how the limits are structured for Temple City drivers, what to check on your current glass, and how to keep your tint choice and your compliance decisions clearly separate.

Tint that falls outside the legal limits can cost you more than the film itself. Enforcement usually starts with a citation, and you may be asked to correct the tint and show proof that the vehicle now complies before the matter is closed.
Stripping non-compliant film is rarely quick. Aged film and adhesive add labor and cost, and rear glass with defroster grids or antenna lines needs particular care during removal.
California sets out permitted tint levels by vehicle type and by window position, and the rules for passenger cars are not identical to those for multi-purpose vehicles. Visible light transmission is the measure used, describing how much light passes through the glass and film together. It is worth remembering that VLT is a separate matter from how much solar heat a film rejects, so two films at the same shade can perform very differently. Check the categories below against your own vehicle.
Passenger Vehicles
Sedans, coupes and other passenger cars have their own set of limits, with different permitted tint levels for the windshield, front side windows and the glass behind the driver.
A non-reflective tint / sun strip, is allowed 4 inches from the top as long as it does not go past the AS-1 line on your windshield.
The California law allows 70% of light visibility for front side windows.
The California law allows any shade of light visibility for rear side windows.
The California law allows any shade of light in visibility for the rear window.
