Understanding Ontario Window Tint Laws
When it comes to window tinting in Ontario, it's crucial to understand the legal limits to avoid fines and ensure road safety. The Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentage determines how much light passes through your windows. In Ontario, the laws are specific about which windows can be tinted and to what extent.
Legal Tint Percentages
For the front side windows, the VLT must allow at least 70% of light to pass through. The rear windows and back windshield can have a darker tint, but it's important to maintain visibility for safe driving.
Is Front Windshield Tint Legal?
In Ontario, tinting the front windshield is not permitted, except for a strip along the top. This strip must not extend more than 15 cm from the top of the windshield.
