Any issues with windshield tint?

[ssil]

Has anyone had any issues with getting their windshield tinted? I was told not to do it as water can get in the dashboard and damage electrical.

None. Have had mine tinted since I got mine back in 2022

Only issue is that it is illegal in all 50 states.

Most folks here can get away with a heat rejection film so long as it's still 95% transparent.

No issues at all. Just go to a reputable shop for install. I got 70% ceramic heat rejection. You can’t tell it’s tinted at all. No issues with night driving either.

Thats a NO, NO in PA ... You will never get past yearly inspection. worked with a guy who tinted his windshield on his Camaro. Not only did he get pulled over and fined, they also impounded the car. The officer also got the inspection station off the sticker and reported to state police. The guy that put the sticker on was a friend of his and was fired, and the shop he worked at got a 10K fine

Tinting the windshield is illegal in all 50 states below the AS-1 line, but realistically as long as it looks factory and isn't obviously tinted you probably won't have an issue.

The exception to that rule is if you live in a state with safety inspections... which is the majority of the states in the northeast. But luckily for you, New Jersey only requires emissions testing. So just keep it the tint reasonable.

That's what I have on my Bronco, and my vehicles before that. No issues with inspections in TX. It also reduces the headlight/tail light bloom at night time which is sweet.

I have 50% ceramic on the front windshield (the entire windshield) on all my vehicles. Greatly reduces the heat and glare. Don't need sunglass in the vehicle and it does not reduce visibility at night. Never had any issues with the law.

Bronco windshield is tinted along with most other previous vehicles besides my jeep. No issues ever.

It is illegal, but you won't have any problems.

Never had a windshield tinted!

I had 70% ceramic on mine and just had to have it replaced due to a huge crack :-( The only thing I noticed was that the auto headlamps turned on earlier than when there was no tint on the windshield. The sensor for the headlights was affected by the tint., other than that I absolutely miss my ceramic on the windshield.

I opted not to get mine tinted/clear ceramic coated. With the windshield being so vertical, I figured a replacement was likely down the road and my tint job would be wasted. Also, I just use a sun shade when parked, and didn't see the need for tint while the vehicle was on...
