(Lower number is less light transmittance, thus darker tint)
- In the United States, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, an administration within the federal Department of Transportation (DOT), specifies a minimum of 70 percent VLT for window tinting on the windshield and the windows to the immediate left and right of the driver for commercial vehicles (the DOT does not regulate private vehicles). The DOT does not specify any VLT requirements for rear windows. State law may regulate laws for private vehicles and may go further than the requirements those set forth by the DOT; private vehicles may have tint on the windows to the immediate left and right of the driver as dark as 20 percent VLT, depending on the state.
Installation:
- Window tinting films are usually professionally installed; however, most films require few specialized tools to install and may be installed by consumers. Incorrectly installed window tint may bubble or peel.
- It is especially difficult to install wintow tint film on auto glass with curvature, for example, in the case of rear windows of cars, because of the care required in cutting and sizing the film. Auto tint is best installed by professionals; without the proper tools and techniques, amateur filming is prone to bubbling and separation from the glass.
- Window film is typically installed after surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and wiped, typically using a commercial cleaner and a scraper blade, and then a simple soap solution is squirted on the glass before the film layer is mounted.
- Most manufacturers will only warranty their window films when installed by a certified, trained installer.
