An outside company put 30% on for a car show before I bought the car from the showroom and the window tint meter reading was 22% on the driver's window and 24% on the back window....So I had that taken off and wanted a 40% tint put on so that if the 8% was actually there, then it would end up being 32% and hence..LEGAL. Well, the guy put on 38%, without my permission, saying that he couldn't get a 40% and that it would only bring it down to around 35% and I'd be legal. NOT the case...after taking it to the police station to have them check it..we had 30%! Again I told them there is obviously 8% in my windows!!! Is this normal? and what percent is available for me to still be legal? The tint guy says 45% is the next level up. I am just frustrated and want to be legal!!! Any advice would be appreciated Thanks
