I know you guys might not like people calling xj station wagons or SUVs but that's what they are classified as & what most cops see them as.

I recently got my xj tinted & the guy told me that SUVs are allowed to have the back windows tinted up to 5%
Because of it being all open & people can see in your "trunk". Unlike a car where you can't see inside.

It might be different from state to state but that's what I heard for a pretty reliable source (person that works at a tinting shop)

So I went ahead & tinted the back 5% which he said was legal but, the front windows have to be (for Florida) < 20% or something like that & I tinted them illegal which is 15%

Not sure if this is true but I thought you guys might want to know for your benefit.
(don't get mad @ me if you do it and get a ticket lol)

I know the windshield can't be tinted. I was referring to the drivers side windows.
&
Those laws are for cars which are different then SUVs or station wagons.

I live in NC, it says for the windshield, tint must only be above the manufacturer's AS-1 line...anyone know what that is?

But yeah, 35% for front windows and then 5% can be done in the rear windows, quarters, and hatch window since it's an SUV

the as-1 line is usually about 4 inches from the top. In the top left of the wind shield there will be a black line/Mark which indicates where it is.
