The pictures on this page, will help you to understand the difference between a car window tint that is not compliant to roadworthy laws, compared to a car window tint that meets the rules and standards.  

 

In most cases, it's quite easy to know when a window tint is not compliant.

Knowing when a car window tint need to be replaced:

 

1) While sitting on the drivers seat and looking through a tinted car window, the view must be clear. If you can not see clearly through your tinted windows, the tint on your glass will need to be replaced.

​

2) When you look at the rear windscreen of your car window, viewing them from the outside, the tint must not look bubbled.

 

3) When sitting in the drivers seating position, and you notice that any of your cars window tints are beginning to bubble, or look blurry, it's recommended to replace the tint, because as time goes past, the tinted glass will get harder and harder to be seen through.

​

4) If the window tint has lifted, or has peeled back, it's important to replace the window tint. Even more so, if the window tint has lifted in direct view of either side view mirrors, due to the fact that the faulty tint will make it hard to see.

​

5) It's also important to check visibility of your tinted window at night, sitting in the driver seating position. If you have to open your window to see clearly, this might be an indication that the tint might need to be replace.

​

6) Darker than legal tinted windows could lead you to legal issues. Visit our Qld Car Window Tinting laws page for more info.

​

All these are good examples of faulty tints and should be removed immediately as they are not safe, and are not permitted on registered road vehicles.
