Factory Privacy Glass And Wa Registration

[Rickal]

Does anyone know the % light transmission of the factory privacy glass ?

I have to get my 350GT coupe rego changed from Vic to WA and need to get it inspected. They tell me that the min level is 35% so I'm not sure if its going to pass as it looks a lot darker than that.

Note that the factory privacy glass is only on the rear and rear quarter windows.

Has anyone had any problems getting a vehicle inspected in WA with privacy glass ?

Wont be a problem at all, Car passes compliance with this glass.

Only front windows have a tint limit on them.

Are you sure ?

The regulations state 35% on all windows, except the windscreen.

the stagea rear tint ( anodizing? ) is really dark - and that passed the pits

I think you just need to make sure they get off their lazy asses and get the meter that measures tint and not get one of the old farts to just look at it and go - too dark ! ( like they tried on us! )

hope it works out for you

Are you sure? rules must have changed.

Even alot of Aus delivered cars now have this rear tinting, New Subaru and Lexus all have optional privacy on rear only.

Have just contacted RAC .... they are contracted to do the inspections for the DPI and thats what they told me.

Very interesting, NSW is fine as long as fronts are ok.

what happens if they deemed the tint is too dark?

[jaik]

My glass is fine too.

Indeed nearly every Subaru now has the same style glass... that passes fine. Just dont tint them!
