VEHICLE SUN SCREENING
On September 28, 1996, The Department adopted regulations regarding the use of window tinting (sun screening) on vehicles operated on Pennsylvania highways. These regulations eliminate the sun screening issue from the safety inspection procedure. However, vehicle owners who do not remove sun screening materials which exceed the light transmittance requirements indicated below may be stopped and cited while operating their vehicle on the highway.
The following is designed to assist you in determining what level of sun screening is acceptable under the new regulations. The percentages listed below represent the total minimum light transmittance permitted. For example, if the minimum light transmittance noted is 70%, this means 70% of the light hitting the window must pass through the window.
Medical exemptions are available for the use of colorless sun screening products which filter incoming ultra violet light.
Questions regarding sun screening materials may be directed to Kris Singer at (717) 783-9292. Exemption application requests and questions concerning certificates of exemption may be directed to Lori Lubic at (717) 783-5837.

Controversial State Law
§4524. Windshield obstructions and wipers
(b) Obstruction on side and rear windows.–No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sign, poster or other nontransparent material, including ice or snow, upon the side wings or side or rear windows of the vehicle which materially obstructs, obscures or impairs the driver’s clear view of the highway or any intersecting highway.
(e) Sun screening and other materials prohibited.–
1. No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sun screening device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the inside of the vehicle through the windshield, side wing or side window of the vehicle.
It is the opinion of Enormis that most police officers follow the reasonable State Law above. However, some Police officers are citing passenger cars for ANY window tint. An officer may use the information above from Penndot. There is no tinted automotive film on the market that would comply with 70% light transmittance.
Other States
Ohio
Allows ANY Window tint Behind the driver on ANY vehicle. (Cars are Same as SUV’s)
New York
Tint Laws are strict like Pa BUT, New York Allows ANY tint on JUST the Car’s BACK/REAR window.
