West Virginia film tint laws
West Virginia requires front side window film to be nonreflective with at least 35% light transmission and no more than 20% reflectivity, and film behind the driver to meet the same figures with outside mirrors on both sides; trucks, buses, trailers, mobile homes and multipurpose passenger vehicles are exempt from the 35% figure behind the driver. Windshield film is limited to a top strip. Tinted vehicles need a compliance label, and a physician's or optometrist's affidavit allows darker film.
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 WV 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 West Virginia?+
They are concentrated in Charleston, Huntington, Morgantown, and other major metros. WV's truck + SUV culture means PPF on the leading edge of every new truck is standard practice. Morgantown (WVU) carries a younger ceramic + PPF market. Smaller total market but steady volumes.
Does SalesThumb support West Virginia state VLT compliance?+
Partly. SalesThumb's quote-time VLT check compares proposed shades to the basic West Virginia 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 West Virginia legal limits to customers before they pick.
Can West Virginia 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 West Virginia. 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 West Virginia 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. West Virginia shops on QBO connect once, then push paid invoices with a click. (Two-way sync is on the roadmap.)
