Question.

How do they get the window tint to stick in the front windshield when we have that pony and those little black dots at the top of the windsheild?

Wouldn't that cause it to peel off?

I always just flick the window down and has never been a problem and I ahve 10% way below legal I understand the laws though I have no argument with them just dark tint looks sooo good.

here in NYC cops are a-holes to the fullest. tints are put on for a reason, its to prevent prying eyes from looking in. God forbid a thief looks in and sees the vast goodies inside (gauges, aftermarketheadunit, etc.)

That's what the cop is thinking too. While you're reaching under the seat for your handgun.

I agree with the notion that tints shouldn't really be that big of a deal (I just got my windows tinted yesterday, in fact), but I can certainly see the point of the view that the cops take on the issue, and you can't really blame them for that.

im not saying mustangs are themost expensiveof all cars but i wouldnt imagine a cop having to fear over a guy with a gun in one, unless its stolen. i'd expect that crap in a dirty old toyota or something, but i see where your coming from.

Here in MI. the tint law is basically this - the windows behind you can be as dark as you want, so the back glass and the 1/4 windows can be limo tint if you want them. As for the driver and passenger window they can only be tinted 4" from the top, basically the same thing as the tinted strip on your windsheild.
-P.
Yep, this is what I understand. I was going to get mine tinted, but now I think not. The State Police especially will hit you hard....

Wow nobody has answered my question yet on how they get the tint to stick on the front windshieldgiven we have the pony close to the top in the
interior window.[:@]

Do they have to take it off or something?
