Window tint

I believe tinted windows in a truck are illegal according to FMCSA

 

d) Coloring or tinting of windshields and windows. Coloring or tinting of windshields and the windows to the immediate right and left of the driver is allowed, provided the parallel luminous transmittance through the colored or tinted glazing is not less than 70 percent of the light at normal incidence in those portions of the windshield or windows which are marked as having a parallel luminous transmittance of not less than 70 percent. The transmittance restriction does not apply to other windows on the commercial motor vehicle.

 

Put the legal tint on the top few inches and then put the dark illegal stuff below that where their light meter can't reach!

 

they really did not think that rule through obviously, it says nothing about the front, does that mean you can limo tint the front? not that youd want to but according to the rule you could

 

So we can tint the top of the front window

 

Yes you can tint the top and bottom 4 inches but nothing is allowed otherwise

 

not going to say for certain but it makes no exact saying yes or no unless they was to try and make it fall under the sticker portion of it in section 2
§ 393.60: Glazing in specified openings.


(a) Glazing material. Glazing material used in windshields, windows, and doors on a motor vehicle manufactured on or after December 25, 1968, shall at a minimum meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 205 in effect on the date of manufacture of the motor vehicle. The glazing material shall be marked in accordance with FMVSS No. 205 (49 CFR 571.205, S6).

(b) Windshields required. Each bus, truck and truck-tractor shall be equipped with a windshield. Each windshield or portion of a multi-piece windshield shall be mounted using the full periphery of the glazing material.

With the exception of the conditions listed in paragraphs (c)(1), (c)(2), and (c)(3) of this section, each windshield shall be free of discoloration or damage in the area extending upward from the height of the top of the steering wheel (excluding a 51 mm (2 inch) border at the top of the windshield) and extending from a 25 mm (1 inch) border at each side of the windshield or windshield panel. Exceptions:

(d) Coloring or tinting of windshields and windows. Coloring or tinting of windshields and the windows to the immediate right and left of the driver is allowed, provided the parallel luminous transmittance through the colored or tinted glazing is not less than 70 percent of the light at normal incidence in those portions of the windshield or windows which are marked as having a parallel luminous transmittance of not less than 70 percent. The transmittance restriction does not apply to other windows on the commercial motor vehicle.

(e) Prohibition on obstructions to the driver's field of view —(1) Devices mounted at the top of the windshield. Antennas, transponders, and similar devices must not be mounted more than 152 mm (6 inches) below the upper edge of the windshield.

So instead of that why not install a huge visor and smaller wipers.

 

Use the search function... Another driver on here had tints and got several warnings or small fines and then got hit with a big ticket I think it was like $1000.00 and he removed them... I'm on my tablet and cannot link you to the thread, maybe someone can find it and link it
