Good day all,
Yep, tinting is a good thing for the summer, but also especially in the winter up here. I find it helps melt the snow off the windows much faster on a sunny day. Problem is, here in New Brunswick, anything over a 15% tint (unsure what OEM tint is) on your windshield or front side windows will get you stopped, and you have to remove it, like our friend who started this post. Rear windows, back glass, etc are OK even with limo tint. Police up here have a small light gauge which they place over the window, activate and, if you don't pass, you have a few days to get it off.
My wife got stopped in out other vehicle awhile ago, and we had to get it all pulled off. It is a PITA all right. Good luck.
