(2026) Legal Window Tint Laws Wyoming

It is a floor on light, not a cap on darkness: with the film on the glass, at least 28% of the light has to get through. On a car that covers the side windows and the rearmost window. Three rules sit alongside it - reflectance no higher than 20%, so windows do not act as mirrors, the windshield kept clear below the AS-1 line, and both outside mirrors once film goes on behind the driver. Every one of them is about being able to see out, and about someone outside being able to see in.

Yes. It is an offense to drive a Wyoming-registered vehicle with tint below the limit, so film measuring under 28% has to come off before the car is right again. Wyoming's tint law does not set out a fix-it procedure of its own; how a citation is handled is down to the officer and the court. If you have bought a car with tint already on it and do not know where it stands, get the window measured before someone else does.

Taking film off is the fiddly half of the job. The adhesive is made to hold for years, so it does not lift cleanly, and the rear screen needs care because of the printed defroster grid. That is why film is usually removed by a business that fits it rather than at home on the driveway. Better still, agree a shade that measures inside 28% on your own glass before anything goes on.

Both, under different parts of the same law. One part puts the offense on whoever is driving, which is why it is the driver who gets stopped for it. Another makes it an offense for any person or business to fit film that does not comply. So the number to agree with your dealer is the reading on the finished window, and it is worth noting down the range and shade that went on in case you are asked later.

On most of the glass, the darkest legal film in Wyoming is simply whatever brings the window to 28%, so there is no darker option to weigh up. The heat is where you do have a choice: Kepler IR+ takes out up to 98% of infrared, so a lighter shade does not mean a hotter car. Behind the driver of an SUV, van, truck or motor home the limit lifts altogether, and you can go as dark as you like as long as the vehicle carries both outside mirrors.

In Wyoming, law enforcement and tint professionals use special tools to measure car window tinting darkness. The key tool used is a tint meter that measures the visible light transmission (VLT) through windows. Measuring the percentage of light penetrating the windows, this meter helps officers determine compliance with Wyoming's laws. If your tinting is darker than the legal limit in Wyoming, you may receive a fine and be asked to take off it. Avoid such issues by having your car's window tinting applied by a reputable professional who confirms compliance with Wyoming's laws. Choose a trusted installer who is familiar with the legal guidelines if you are thinking about window tinting for your car in Wyoming.

Even without aftermarket tinting, most current car windows come with a mild built-in tint. This built-in tint is usually very mild and is primarily intended to shield the adhesives and materials used in the window construction from UV damage. However, this factory tint typically complies with legal window tint limits in Wyoming and does not offer significant heat rejection, glare reduction, or privacy benefits like aftermarket window tinting. When interested in enhancing your car's windows in Wyoming, it's essential to factor in the combined VLT of the factory tint and any aftermarket tinting to comply with local laws. Remember that vehicles like Tesla already have a light factory tint in the glass.

Yes, and it is written into the same law. If a driver, or someone regularly carried in the vehicle, has a medical condition that makes sunlight or bright artificial light harmful, the car can be tinted to 25% rather than 28%, on the windshield and any or all of its windows. The ordinary windshield rule still applies otherwise, with tint kept to the strip along the top. The exemption only works while the driver or a passenger is carrying a certificate from the director of the Wyoming Department of Transportation, and that is issued only on a signed statement from a licensed physician or licensed optometrist. It lasts as long as the condition does, or until you sell the vehicle.

Use the quote form on this page. Tell it what you want tinted, leave your details, and you are introduced to an independent local tinter, an independent business that talks through the film, the shade and the price and arranges the work with you directly. Kepler makes the film and stands behind it with the warranty; everything about the job itself is settled between you and that dealer. Ask them to confirm the shade against the 28% limit for your vehicle before you book.
