Tennessee Window Tint Laws, Explained

Key takeaways

  • Side and rear windows must let through enough light, commonly cited as more than 35 percent
  • The windshield allows tint only above the marked line unless the film is clear
  • Mirrored or highly reflective tint is not allowed
  • Rules can change, so confirm the latest with the state

Rules like these protect safety and visibility. They are easy to follow when you choose your shade with them in mind.

Side and rear glass

The glass and film together must let through a minimum percentage of visible light, commonly cited as 35 percent in Tennessee.

The windshield

Tint belongs above the line marked on the glass. A clear film that does not change the look is a different matter.

Reflective film

Mirror-like finishes are limited.

Medical needs

Exemptions can exist. Ask your doctor and check with the state. We always confirm the current rules when you book.
