Tint questions Southport drivers ask
What is the legal window tint in Connecticut?
On a passenger car — front side windows: 35%. Rear side windows: 35%. Rear windshield: 35%. Transparent material only on the topmost portion of the windshield, with its bottom edge at least 29 inches above the driver's seat — and the material may not be red or amber.
Is 20% tint legal in Connecticut?
It is darker than Connecticut allows on the front side windows, rear side windows, and rear windshield. On a multipurpose vehicle the rear figures differ — rear side windows No restriction, rear windshield No restriction.

Does Connecticut allow a medical exemption for window tint?
Yes. Apply in writing to the Commissioner of Motor Vehicles, supported by the written recommendation of a physician or optometrist licensed in Connecticut, given after examination. On approval the Commissioner issues a validated form that is carried in the exempted vehicle, and the exemption lifts both the light transmission standards and the compliance sticker requirement for a vehicle you own or one in which you are a usual passenger. One floor survives: no window may be so dark as to impair driving safety, and a light transmission below 20% is treated as impairing safety — a floor the Commissioner may waive for good cause. The exemption does not move the windshield top-strip rule, and neither the law nor its rules state a fee or an expiration.
What does legal tint cost in Connecticut?
It turns on the vehicle, how much glass is being covered, and the film tier — dyed, carbon, and ceramic films price differently, and shops quote the finished job, not the film alone. The free 2026 Connecticut Tint Law and Cost Guide by email (below) includes cost notes that explain what shops weigh, so a quote makes sense when you get one.
