Well, the tint police have struck again.
The wife took the Mark VIII today to try and get an inspection. She was told(among other things) the tint was too dark. The state limit is 35%, which is what was installed, however mine registered 20% with a 'meter' they are required to use. They said putting the tint over the factory tinted glass was the cause.
So the question is: is the factory glass tinted? What level? BTW, what is the percentage number referring to?
I'm not overly concerned, I'll get an inspection regardless, but I'm not changing the tint. Heck, if anything, I'd like it darker. Apparently, they have been recently harassed by the state police for passing vehicles with illegal tint. I don't fault the garage, they do good work and have a business to run.
