Will privacy glass pass auto inspection?

Privacy glass, also known as tinted or coated glass, is typically made by treating the glass with a chemical or metallic coating. This coating can reduce the amount of light that passes through the glass, making it more difficult to see inside the vehicle. Privacy glass is often used on the rear windows and side windows of cars and SUVs, and can also be used on the front windshield.

In most states, privacy glass is legal as long as it meets certain standards. These standards typically include:

* The amount of light that the glass allows through must be at least 70% (for the front windshield) or 35% (for other windows).

* The glass must not be reflective, which means that it cannot reflect light back at other drivers.

Privacy glass that meets these standards will typically pass auto inspection. However, it is important to check the specific laws and regulations in your state to make sure that your privacy glass is legal.

Here are some tips for passing an auto inspection with privacy glass:

* Make sure that the privacy glass is installed properly and securely.

* Keep the glass clean and free of dirt, debris, and scratches.

* Avoid applying any aftermarket coatings or treatments to the glass.

* If you have any questions about whether your privacy glass is legal, contact the auto inspection station in your state.
