PSA for everyone that doesn't know

[SomeSoldier]

If you own a vehicle classified as passenger and have tints on any of the four doors, you will not pass inspection.

If you have a vehicle classified as cuv, SUV, or a truck you can have the rear doors tinted

If you have a two door passenger vehicle, the doors and two small windows behind the doors cannot be tinted.

This has been a message from Cumhole. It's for the children

 

[Celt]

Absurd. Punish the many for the acts of a few, exactly how big government tyrants control the herd.

 

[Defilade]

My tint is registered

 

[vanderblack]

Mine came with factory tinted windows.

Tinted windows
Can I have tinted windows on my vehicle?

Effective January 1st 2017, examination of tinted or shaded windows will be required during motor vehicle inspections. A video about this change is available on YouTube.

Section 375 (12-a) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law does not allow a windshield or front side windows that are dark.

• The windshield and front side windows cannot block more than 30% of the light.
  • Seventy percent or more of the light from the outside must pass through the window.
    
• This law also applies to the rear window unless the vehicle has outside rear-view mirrors on both sides.
  • The mirrors must give the driver a full and clear view behind the vehicle.
    
• Rear side windows must also allow at least seventy percent of light from the outside to pass through the window if the vehicle is classified as a
  • station wagon
  • sedan
  • hardtop
  • coupe
  • hatchback
  • convertible

A vehicle falls into one of these categories if it is labeled “Passenger Car” on the Federal ID label found on the left front door panel.

It is illegal to sell, offer for sale, or install glass that does not comply with this law. It is illegal to operate a vehicle with glass that does not comply with this law.

NYS Health department regulations specify that only the following medical conditions may be used to justify an exemption from the limits on light transmittance. If you have one of the medical conditions below that require you to have tinted vehicle windows, you may request an exemption from the law using the Application for Tinted Window Exemption (MV-80W).

BTW, factory installed tint, I do not believe, does not make the law void.

My tint is undocumented.

It will be documented when you go to renew your inspection.

Damn money grabbing auto mechanics.

More agents of the state. Wonder how many will put their lively on the line and just say no to the stupid laws of NY?

 

[SomeSoldier]

Well from the guy I talked to tonight. If someone passes a car that should not. That employee is fined not the company and pep boys will also suspend the employee.

Cumhole is also looking to fail inspections based on low pressure lights being on and is looking to ban mustangs/camaros because only cops should have them.

When the time comes to get your inspection, make sure you take a knee when they ask for payment.

So the OP says read windows of a sedan can’t be tinted.
Posted law says they can be to 30% blocked.

Confused.

 

[GOPerfect]

I gotta find out id all Law Enforcement is exempt from this BS. Personal cars should be exempt for us as well/

 

[bobbyd3]

Also its fairly easy to remove tint.
I had to remove my front window tint this summer.

Just get a steam cleaner and spray it as you slowly peel it off.

Then take a spray bottle of water and rubbing alcohol mix and spray the window and run a razor over to get any left over glue.

Took 10 minutes a window.

@GOPerfect from what you posted of the law and i looked at the exempt form .. FUAC needs to remove his tint ...

The automotive solar glass that comes standard in most vehicles usually has a net tint of 15% to 30%. Applying any commercially available tint on top of that would put you over the top.

Thought this was going to be a thread about Palmetto State Arms. Maybe put the words "car window tint" in the title.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

My unregistered tint is burried in my garage

 

[masterswimmer]

I thought this thread was gonna be about my prostate.

 

[Defilade]

So when my relatives visit from Florida with their tinted out car it's alright? Or will they recieve a ticket like speeding?

"Except as otherwise provided in subdivision three of this section, the provisions of this chapter relative to the registration and equipment of motor vehicles, motorcycles and trailers and the display of registration numbers shall not apply to a motor vehicle, motorcycle or trailer owned by a non-resident of this state, provided that the owner thereof shall have complied with the provisions of the law of the foreign country, state, territory or federal district of his residence relative to registration and equipment of such motor vehicle, motorcycle or trailer, as the case may be, and the display of registration numbers thereon, and shall conspicuously display his registration numbers as required thereby."

I almost don't have an issue with the tint laws. I do, however have a serious issue with the .gov using regular working guys as agents of the state. Fine, you want to ensure vehicles are safe? I am okay with using a mechanic; a cop can't tell if tires are good while going down the road, but sure as shit, the cops can see if tint is out of regulations!

 

[SomeSoldier]

I just think it should no tint for everyone or tint for everyone. There shouldn't be mixed laws. Just another way to create 2nd class citizens.

I am not quite there. I do believe that some vehicles should be exempt. On duty police vehicles as an example. Limos would be fine as well for the rears.Not many others. Not the elected elite either!

I am refering to the passenger vs, SUV, cuv, truck.

agreed, it could.
but the blanket statement of "no tint on sedan back side windows" doesn't compute.

 

[Marine Cpl]

Funny. In other states with no tint laws, cops there don't have problems. But here on the other hand...

 

[SomeSoldier]

I find funny that sedan rear door window not ok but SUV rear door windows to rear window is ok. Especially if the reason is officer safety.

 

[Doc8404]

My F150 has all four side windows tinted.
Keep on trucking
