I have heard that PCB has pretty strict window tint laws...does anyone know what the restrictions are on that??

I've heard the same...you might just want to roll down the windows while you're down there (and just turn the heater on if it's cooler out)

That may be what I have to do...only the back two windows and the cab space on my SUV are tinted so we could do that without much trouble (I have heated seats if it is too cool!)

PCB doesn't have tint regulations - it's the state of Florida.

However, I don't know anyone who's ever been ticketed for window tint and I've lived in PCB all my life. There were a few times we rcvd warnings in high school, but only because we were doing something else suspicious to draw attention to ourselves.

I'm pretty sure every car I've owned (9 of them) had tint on the front side-windows darker than allowed and nothing's ever been said to me about it.

Florida Tint Law Enacted: 1991
HOW DARK CAN WINDOW TINT BE IN FLORIDA?

Darkness of tint is measured by Visible Light Transmission percentage (VLT%). In Florida, this percentage refers to percentage of visible light allowed in through the combination of film and the window.

Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed along the top of the windshield above the manufacturer's AS-1 line.
Front Side Windows Must allow more than 28% of light in.
Back Side Windows Must allow more than 15% of light in.
Rear Window Must allow more than 15% of light in.

HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN FLORIDA?

Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light.

Front Side Windows Must not be more than 25% reflective.
Back Side Windows Must not be more than 25% reflective.

OTHER FLORIDA RULES AND REGULATIONS

Restricted Colors No colors of tint are explicitly banned.
Side Mirrors Dual side mirrors are required if back window is tinted.

Sticker Requirements The sticker to identify legal tinting is required on the inside of the driver’s side doorjamb.

A little more than an hour after I post this, I watched a news story on WMBB saying the Florida Highway Patrol is cracking down on window tint. Talk about coincidental.

I guess all I can say now is, "Good Luck!"

Looks like I'll be breaking the law for a while.

I actually know quite a few people who work at People's First who have gotten window tint tickets recently. Its only been the Florida Highway Patrol giving them out that I know of. I've never had any problems myself though.

That is so incredibly lame.

hey usually all suv's have privacy glass in the rear windows and back. if they say anything to you tell them that it is privacy glass. f the police lol.

last year i got pulled over in PCB on front beach rd...it was like 4 in tha mornin and the police gave me a warning about my tint being to dark...my back windows were 5% and my fronts were 20%..but he didnt me a ticket just a warning

nah here in the south they dont relli pay attention to that stuff, plus they have other more important stuff to worry about. so youl be alright, dont worry. mine is 5% all around and not and SUV. only got pulled over couple times in the north states told them here in GA 5% lligal and i wont be untinting when i go up so he let go.

BACK SEAT WINDOWS UP THATS THE WAY I LIKE TO ***. PARY TIME.
