Window tint question
 

Are there and FMCA regulations on window tint on trucks?

I am not talking about limo tint I am talking a very light shade,enough to take out the heat of the sun on your arm.

Also regardless of regs,have any others had problems/or not at scales and so forth with windows tinted?

There are no FMCSA regs dealing with window tinting, but be advised that like gun laws, there are all sorts of various state and local laws regarding this matter and what may be legal in one area could cost you some big bucks in another.

Yeah thats what I figured,thats why I asked for some personal experiences also.

The last truck I drove had lightly tinted side windows. I never had any problems anywhere. The tint was factory. I would say the tint was a 30%.

was it helpful at that % ?

There are some states with window tint laws-Wisconsin for one and the DOT has some kind of electronic gizmo that will let you know if they're too dark or not.

Yeah I've heard of the Police doing a flashlight test,just wish I knew what was legal,anyways I will probably just use the lightest I can find and plead stupid if stopped.....lol

the equipment they use gives some kind of read out on darkness. I always had a light tint and it worked for me.

The 30% helped. It was not great, but it did help.

all the states i have checked will let you use 35% some will let you go darker. the only way thay can give you a ticket is if thay use a lite meter. the flashlite test is a joke and will not hold up in court
a cop with a flashlite can't tell if you have 25%, 27%, 30% or 35%
the law saids what % you can and can't have on each window and if it can or can't be colored (blue, green, gray, gold)
