Windshield
The front windshield can have a ‘sun-band’
across the top of the glass 127 mm (5”) with
25% Visible Light Transmission (VLT) a medium-dark
film. If you are concerned about UV protection,
please keep in mind that your windshield is laminated
glass. Laminated glass has ‘built-in’
UV protection with a protective interlayer of film.
This is a UV resistant film sandwiched between two
pieces of glass. The UV protection (approximately
98-99%) is similar to having a film applied. |

Front
Side Window
The driver and passenger windows (front doors) are
required for driver vision. A lighter film can be
applied to these windows. The film must allow 50%
(+/-5%) of the visible light in. The net value must
be higher than 45% VLT. Typically a 50% film can
be applied to the factory glass and comply with
the regulation. Occasionally factory glass is at
the extreme tolerance for darkness and a lighter
film should be applied. |

Backside
Window
These are the side windows to the rear of the driver’s
vision, typically rear doors on a four-door, and
quarter windows on a two-door vehicle. On a ‘passenger
car’ these windows are also regulated on how
dark they can be. For these windows, you can apply
a medium tint (35% VLT typically). This still allows
proper driver vision, while adding extra glare and
heat protection, plus moderate privacy for the rear
portion of the car.
TRUCKS VANS & SUV’s
For trucks, vans and SUV’s the rear portion
is not regulated. This is where dark and Limo tint
are used. You can choose from very light to extremely
dark. |

Back
Window
On a passenger car this window is regulated to 35%
VLT (+/-5%). The net value must be lighter than
30% VLT.
TRUCKS VANS & SUV’s
For a truck, van or SUV, there is no restriction.
Here again is where dark and Limo tint is popular.
The reflectivity of a film is also regulated.
Film should not reflect more than 35% of the light.
All Formula One films are designed
to fall within this guideline. A highly reflective
(shiny) film designed for commercial buildings
should not be used on a vehicle.
