Tint Compliance

If Your Tint Does Not Comply

Tint that does not meet Pennsylvania requirements may lead to a citation or a need to correct the vehicle. Enforcement and any resulting costs depend on the circumstances, so check current rules and address a suspected issue promptly.

Removing Noncompliant Tint

Changing noncompliant tint may add cost. Ask an installer to inspect the glass and explain removal and replacement options, then check that the finished window meets the applicable rules.

  • Fine: Up to $500 on the spot fine
  • Correction: You may need to bring the affected windows into compliance.
  • Further consequences: Ask the relevant authority how a citation is resolved.
  • Roadside checks: An officer may examine tint when checking vehicle compliance.
  • Insurance questions: Ask your insurer how vehicle modifications affect your policy.
