Car Window Tinting Wisconsin

Three things at once. It cuts the glare, so the light is easier on your eyes. It cuts the infrared, which is the heat you feel in a car that has been sitting in the sun. And it cuts the ultraviolet that fades a dashboard and reaches your arm through the side glass — Kepler holds UV transmittance under 1% at every shade. Our window tinting information page goes through all three in more detail.

A Kepler car window tinting Wisconsin job, when properly maintained, will last for the life of your vehicle. Kepler’s tinting films are engineered for durability and come with a Warranty Information, ensuring your tinted glass maintain top condition. With our skilled installation team, you can rely on a flawless fit and finish, enhancing the visual and practical advantages of your window tint.

It depends on the car, how many windows you are doing and which range and shade you choose, so nobody can quote you properly from a web page. What you can get here is a starting figure: pick your make and model and the pricing tool gives you something to plan around. Your Kepler dealer confirms the real number with you. Start with our cost guides.

Wisconsin sets two figures. The two front windows either side of you have to let at least 50% of the light through. Everything behind the driver, the rear side windows and the rear screen, can go down to 35%. If the rear screen is below 60% the car needs an outside mirror on both sides, and officers allow a 3% tolerance when they measure. Reflective film is not permitted anywhere. See our window tinting options to see the shades in 360 before you decide. One thing worth holding on to: the limit applies to your glass and the film together, not the film on its own, so have your dealer check the combination on your car.

The full Wisconsin summary, including the windshield rule and the medical exemption, is on our Wisconsin window tint laws page.

Yes, within limits. Trans 305.32 permits aftermarket film at 50% or lighter on the front side windows and 35% or lighter on the rear sides and rear screen, and says that film may not be reflective. The windshield is governed separately by Trans 305.34, which allows film only above the horizontal line marked A and outside the critical area. Our window tint laws page sets the figures out in full. The rules themselves live in the Wisconsin Administrative Code, and you can read Trans 305 on the State Lawssite. Check the current text before film is ordered; a page is a summary and the code is the authority.

Removal is its own job rather than a step in fitting. Window film adhesive is built to hold for years, so lifting it takes heat, time and patience, and residue is normal rather than a sign something went wrong. Rear screens deserve particular care, because the heating element runs across the inside face of the glass. Tell your dealer what is on the car now and ask for removal to be quoted separately from the new film. Our Removal Instructions page goes through what the work involves.

The layer doing the heat work is ceramic rather than metal. Our ceramic window tinting range reaches up to 98% infrared heat rejection with UV transmittance under 1%, and because there is no metal in it there is no mirrored sheen and nothing to interfere with your phone, GPS or keyless entry. Kepler makes architectural film on the same principle, and our home window tinting services in Wisconsin page covers glass in houses and offices, where the questions are about existing glazing rather than shade.

This is a question for your vehicle manufacturer or the dealership that sold you the car, and it is worth asking them in writing before film goes on. Kepler warrants its own film against manufacturing defects; it cannot speak for the terms of anybody else’s vehicle warranty. If the car is still under one, check the wording first.

Ask the dealer who fits it. Curing time before you lower the windows, and what to clean the film with, both depend on the product and the conditions on the day, so the person who applied it is the one who can tell you. Kepler film carries a Scratch Guard+ coat, but no coat likes grit, so a clean cloth matters more than any particular product.

Kepler has a page for exactly this. Start with your model and year, because the glazing Tesla fits varies, and it is worth knowing what is already on the car before any film is ordered. Our Tesla window tinting Wisconsin page covers what to check. Wisconsin's limits apply to a Tesla like any other car: 50% or lighter at the front, 35% or lighter behind the driver, and nothing reflective.
