Mississippi film tint laws
Mississippi lets a car with tinted windows on the road only if an official tint inspection station's windshield label certifies that every window passes at least 28% light transmittance, or the owner has a medical exemption certificate. Some SUV, pickup and van windows behind the front two may match federal factory limits instead. No film is allowed on the windshield beyond a manufacturer-style sun shield at the top, and mirrored glazing is barred. Since July 1, 2026, a physician or an optometrist can support the medical exemption.
General information, not legal advice. Laws change and enforcement varies; confirm current requirements with the state.
SalesThumb's quote-time VLT check compares proposed shades to the basic MS per-window limits; if the quote becomes an invoice, the customer acknowledges a tint waiver before paying. The check does not model medical, vehicle-class, or paired-window exceptions, so confirm those by hand.

Where are the tint, PPF, and ceramic shops in Mississippi?+
They are concentrated in Jackson, Gulfport, Southaven, and other major metros. Mississippi's heat + humidity drive constant tint demand. Gulf coast salt-air drives PPF + ceramic. A smaller market by total count.
Does SalesThumb support Mississippi state VLT compliance?+
Partly. SalesThumb's quote-time VLT check compares proposed shades to the basic Mississippi limits for sedans and SUVs/trucks. It does not model medical, vehicle-class, or paired-window exceptions (for example Colorado's darker rear glass with 70% fronts, Illinois' 50/30 pairing, or multipurpose-vehicle exemptions), so confirm those by hand. If the quote becomes an invoice, the customer acknowledges a tint waiver before paying. An embeddable tint-laws widget for your own website shows Mississippi legal limits to customers before they pick.
Can Mississippi shops use SalesThumb's mobile app?+
Yes — the Expo-built iOS + Android app is live on the App Store and Google Play, and works anywhere with cell/WiFi, including Mississippi. Customer-side login is name + phone + 6-digit SMS code (passwordless); staff-side is email + password with role-based tabs (NONE / INSTALLER / SALES / BOTH per employee). VIN scanner, photo capture, and push notifications are all built in.
Does it integrate with QuickBooks for Mississippi shop accounting?+
Yes, on the Growth plan and up — per-shop QuickBooks Online OAuth. Paid invoices push one-way to QuickBooks and the matching customer is created automatically. Mississippi shops on QBO connect once, then push paid invoices with a click. (Two-way sync is on the roadmap.)
