Removing old film can leave adhesive behind, and glass with defroster lines needs particular care. Ask an installer to assess the window before removal.

  • Fine: Up to $500 on the spot fine
  • Correction may be required after a tint violation
  • Repeat violations may bring further enforcement
  • Noncompliant tint may draw attention during a traffic stop
