New Jersey window tint rules
N.J.S.A. 39:3-74 bars non-transparent material on the windshield and front side windows and states no percentage. The Motor Vehicle Commission's position is that those windows may be tinted only with a medical exemption; exempt film plus factory glass must keep at least 70% on the windshield below the AS-1 line and 60% on the front side windows. MVC inspection guidance allows tint behind the driver with an exterior mirror on each side.
