Is windshield tint legal?
Short Answer
Windshield tint laws vary by state. Most states allow only a small tint strip at the top of the windshield (typically 4–6 inches). Full windshield tinting is illegal in most jurisdictions.
Full Explanation
Most states permit a non-reflective tint strip along the top of the windshield — often called an "eyebrow" strip — typically 4–6 inches or to the AS-1 line marked on the glass. Full windshield tinting that reduces visibility is illegal in most states. Some states allow medical exemptions for specific conditions. Always verify current state law before any windshield tint installation.
