Tint Compliance

What If Your Tint Does Not Comply?

Noncompliant tint can lead to an enforcement stop and a requirement to correct the vehicle. The outcome depends on the circumstances and current South Carolina law. If you are unsure about existing tint, have the window measured and check the applicable rules before choosing replacement film.

Removing Noncompliant Tint

Noncompliant film may need to be removed before a new shade is installed. An experienced installer can assess the adhesive and glass features, including rear defroster lines, and explain the options.

  • Fine: Up to $500 on the spot fine
  • Correction may be required to bring the window into compliance.
  • Further consequences depend on the violation and current law.
  • An officer may check a window that appears noncompliant.
  • Ask your insurer how a tint violation could affect your policy.
