Tint Compliance

If Vehicle Tint Does Not Comply

Tint that does not meet New York requirements can lead to enforcement and a need to correct the issue. Check the current rules before installation; selecting a film for its appearance or heat performance does not establish compliance.

Removing Noncompliant Window Film

Removing noncompliant film can leave adhesive behind. Ask an installer to assess the glass, particularly around rear-window defroster lines, before removal.

  • Fine: Up to $500 on the spot fine
  • Correction: Noncompliant tint may need to be removed or replaced
  • Follow-up: Check any instructions on a notice you receive
  • Visibility: Dark tint can make it harder to see, especially in low light
  • Compliance: Confirm the glass and film together meet current rules
