Exactly. Last week I was at the dealer and they wouldn't perform the inspection because of "film on headlights and taillights". I went to a local enthusiast garage and they passed me and said the law takes effect next year so I'm in the clear for another year. They said they have to undo their own cars too. I don't think "being friendly" with them will have anything to do with skirting a NYS inspection unless they don't mind losing their operating license. I have 35 on all windows (except windshield) and subtle tint on lamps. Never been stopped before, and now I have to possibly replace it all because of the 5% extra.
It's not clear - are the shops going to fail you for having front-side windows tinted at all? All it mentions is the light test. I also wonder if cops will start becoming more vigilant. Even if you don't do it for looks, the tint helps from the glaring sun & heat - our other vehicle has no tint and it makes an obvious difference.
although you have 35% tint in your windows, you will still fail the inspection. Your windows will fail at 29%
It states that it cannot block more than 30%, so apparently that belief is/was false and that you can have them tinted.
Also I stated earlier that 35 was only 5% away from legal, which is not the case. I would have to switch from Carbon 35 to Carbon 70, which is a huge difference.

. Every piece of glass from the factory has a 6% tint in the glass. If you put a layer of 35% tint on your window, you will fail because it will come up as 29%. I went through this when I was a teen ager and I used to tint windows.

They want 70% VLT, so I'd fail even if it were 30% VLT.
If glass already has tint, we can't even get the 70 because that will take us to 64%? That's kinda ridiculous. Or should specs consider the 6% already on glass?
I doubt lawmakers were aware of the window ingredients
