South Carolina Tint Law — Know Before You Tint
27% VLT MAX
Front side windows
27% VLT MAX
Rear side windows & rear windshield
South Carolina law — S.C. Code § 56-5-5015. The 27% limit covers the front side windows, the rear side windows, and the rear windshield on cars and pickup trucks; windows behind the driver on multipurpose vehicles are exempt from the transmission limit. Windshield tint is limited to a nonreflective strip along the top, down to the AS-1 line, and film may not be red, yellow, or amber. If the rear windshield is tinted, outside mirrors are required on both sides. VLT is visible light transmission — the lower the number, the darker the film. We install to legal limits and will walk you through your options before any film goes on.
Tint Care Questions
The things drivers ask most after fresh film goes on.
How dark can I legally tint in South Carolina?
South Carolina's rule is laid out in the tint law band above: 27% VLT MAX on the front side windows, the rear side windows, and the rear windshield on cars and pickup trucks. Windshield tint is limited to a nonreflective strip along the top, down to the AS-1 line. We'll confirm the legal shade for your vehicle before any film goes on.
How long should I wait before rolling down my windows after tinting?
Follow the aftercare guidance provided by the installer. Cure time can vary with the film and the weather, so the shop will give you the right timing for your installation.
Why does my new tint look hazy or bubbly?
A hazy look and small water pockets are a normal part of curing — the film is applied wet, and the moisture works its way out as it dries. It clears on its own over the curing period. Don't press on the bubbles; let them dry out.
Does window film go on the inside or outside of the window?
Automotive window film is normally installed on the inside surface of the glass, where it is protected from weather and road debris.
How should I clean tinted windows?
Use a soft microfiber cloth and a tint-safe cleaner. Avoid abrasive tools, and ask the installer which products they recommend for your specific film.
Can you help me choose the right shade?
Yes. The shop can help you balance appearance, privacy, heat control, visibility, and South Carolina's tint laws before installation.
