Sky_vinz Clutched July 27, 2011 Share July 27, 2011 (edited) I guess if only the front windscreen tinting fails the inspection, you'll only need to replace the front windscreen tint film with a lighter tint. Same for the side windows. Only replace those which have failed. Edited July 27, 2011 by Sky_vinz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkblue 1st Gear July 27, 2011 Share July 27, 2011 Tear off front only can already, provided that your other rear windows & windscreen conforms with the min. 25% VLT rule. Tinted films The following requirements must be met when installing tinted films: a) They must not be of the reflective type. b) The resultant light transmittance for the front windscreen and two front side windows must be at least 70%. c) The resultant light transmittance for the rear windscreen and the rear passenger windows must be at least 25%. d) The front windscreen must not prevent, obstruct or interfere with the transmission of signals between the In-vehicle Unit (IU) and Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) facility. Note: To ensure that the tinted films comply with the above requirements, you may wish to send your vehicle for testing at any of the LTA-authorised vehicle inspection centres.
