What % is currently legal?

What % is currently legal?

In SA...0%, your not meant to have any on the front windows, but you can go as dark as you want behind the driver. Well that what i was told by the guy who did my window tinting.

[Damo_R34]

The Road Traffic Rules 1999 set the standards required for window tinting on motor vehicles in SA.

Windscreens - must have a luminous transmittance of at least 75% for vehicles built after 1971 (70% for others) and cannot be coated in a way that reduces the luminous transmittance in any part of the area below - either the top of the windscreen wiper's sweep or the top 10% of the windscreen whichever is lesser.

Driver and front passengers windows - These windows must have a luminous transmittance of at least 70%

Windows behind the drivers seat - These must have a luminous transmittance of at least 35%.

All windows must not have a reflectance value of more than 10%.

[Aberax]

Interesting, i stand corrected as i was going on incorrect information by my installer.

[TALBO]

I know that on the front it must be 0%, but just interested for the rest. So now you can have all windows except windscreen at 35%

[scandyflick]

yes.

[Damo_R34]

i can finally get my fronts done now! thatll be on my list for the new year.

SA Transport - Window Tinting Laws

That is so bloody awesome - I'd heard rumours of this coming in, but it's good to see it's a definite.

I can finally get my R34 fronts darker than factory (and maybe closer to matching the factory privacy glass rears).

Woot Woot Woot! *happy*

[TALBO]

Well it is a good thing I've been too busy/slack to get my cars windows done yet

[fat_stag]

hey guys just went through the pits not long ago and talkad about tint to the guy. 75% front and 35% rear is legal in sa. 75%'s f**k all and not even worth bothering with. my s2 stageas come standard with 75% front and somethin stupid like 14% rear but cos its built in and factory item theres fark all they can do.
