How much tint % allowed in the GTA? and what are some good places where i can get it done?

Thanks for all your help

 

This is from the Hwy Traffic Act...its kind of vague...

Windows to afford clear view

74. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle upon a highway,

(a) unless the windshield and the windows on either side of the compartment containing the steering wheel are in such a condition as to afford the driver a clear view to the front and side of the motor vehicle; and

(b) unless the rear window is in such a condition as to afford the driver a clear view to the rear of the motor vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 74 (1).

Application of cl. (1) (b)

(2) Clause (1) (b) does not apply to a motor vehicle that is equipped with a mirror or mirrors securely attached to the motor vehicle and placed in such a position and maintained in such a condition as to afford the driver, otherwise than through the rear window, a clearly-reflected view of the roadway in the rear or of any vehicle approaching from the rear. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 74 (2).

Don't know about the GTA, but in Calgary I've heard there's no tint permitted on the front windows. Odd though - I saw a ghost car yesterday with medium tint on all the side windows including driver's door. Hypocritical?

 

Most people will say 35%. That's what my 2007 G had. I went with 20% on the 2011 G. I have never had an issue with the law.

ive heard the limit is 35% front and 5% rear.

I have 18% all around on the 350Z and 15% front and 5% rear on my cavalier, i have had no problem in the past 10 years.

 

I had 20% all around on my last car and just recently put 35% on the G. I prefer the lighter 35% but to each his own.

IMHO lighter tints look better on lighter cars like white, silver, tan...etc.

 

Having just graduated from Police Foundations, I can safely tell you that there is no limit on how dark of a tint you put on your rear windows and rear windshield. For all the government cares, you could paint your rear windows solid black (think of panel vans, they have no rear windows). The legal limit for the driver and passenger front windows is 35%. Many have gotten away with darker, but 35% is a safe bet.

PS. Little trick I learned from a few of my ride-alongs with various police services, if you choose to keep it even all-around (i.e. 20% all-around), keep your sunroof cover open which will let more light in and make your tint seem lighter around police.
