Tinted windows

pjlipeika · #1 05-01-2005, 07:37 PM

What is the % that the rear windows are tinted on the blazer from the factory? I want to tint the front windows to match the rear ones, but I don't know what percentage I need to get! Thanks in advance!

By the way, this is for a '97 blazer.

i think its 35 but you should call a dealer to be absolutly sure.

I put 25% on my front windows and it matches nicely. It looks the same from the inside too.

I have 4% ghost tint put on all of my windows, over the stock tint that came with the vehicle, looks very nice on my truck even though i can not see out of my windows

Considerable safety hazard that will have you sued and charged if you cause an accident.

Yeah, probably a pretty bad idea, but I have it for functionality, I live in southern Florida and it stays so hot in my truck without tint its terrible.

Is it functional when you can see the car you pull in front of and they end your life?

Yeah but a lot of cars come with sensors that tell you when you're about to run over something. Maybe he can install some cameras and lcd monitors... Who needs windows?

I know this kid who tinted his windshield, that must be the stupidest thing ever. A police officer in MI told me to take them off when I was putting them on in a parking lot, but then I pointed to my NY plates and he said it was ok.

I think my tints are illegal in NY too. I want to get a doctors note, because when I do night driving my eyes would kill if I didn't have them... I make a lot of long trips at night and I would get huge headaches from people driving behind me.

Hope you are joking.

I know for a fact that Florida doesn't put up with over tinted windows.

NY requires 70 or 72% light transmission on front side window. The "stock" tint on most vehicles all ready meets that minimum so ANY tint added will make it illegal.

Thanks guys for the info! I am pretty sure it was 35%.

So if I put 35% on my front windows it will be legal in NY? What about NC?

I think any tint on your front windows (other than factory) would be illegal. I've had mine for over a year with no police encounters, but now I'm contemplating taking them off because I don't want the hassle.

ANY aditional tint on your front windows will make it illegal in NY. I'm going to get mine done anyway but with just a minimal %. I want to soften the change from the back to the front.
