Pennsylvania window tint rules
Pennsylvania requires at least 70% visible light transmission (VLT) on the windshield and front side windows of every vehicle. Passenger cars need 70% VLT on the back side windows and rear window too (pre-1998 cars use a VESC-20 label instead of a flat percentage). Trucks, buses, and multi-purpose passenger vehicles (an SUV or van only if it meets that definition) have no VLT floor behind the front doors.
