Colorado window tint rules
Colorado requires 27% VLT on front side, rear side, and rear windows by default; windows behind the driver, including the rear window, can go darker only if the front side windows and windshield stay at 70%+ VLT. Metallic or mirrored film is banned on every window. Windshield: at least 70% VLT, with nontransparent material allowed on the topmost portion if its bottom edge is no more than 4 inches below the top of the windshield, it is not red or amber, it does not affect perception of primary colors or otherwise distort vision, it has no lettering that distorts or obstructs vision, and it does not reflect sunlight or headlight glare into the eyes of occupants of oncoming or preceding vehicles more than the windshield would without it. Colorado's tint statute contains no medical exemption provision; check with the Colorado State Patrol before assuming a separate process exists.
