If tinted windows are all that is detailed in the letter then that is all that Vicroads will check. You can remove tint yourself with a hair dryer, or call a tint place and get some lighter tint put on (they'll remove the old at the same time).

if they said i have to make it lighter its mean i have to change the wind screen and side windows and the back screen as well yeah???

I've never had much faith in some cops ability to use the "tint meter"... ...I've had them get anything from 15 to 73... ...And that's just from moving from the right to the left... ...And then a 1/4...

If you've got dirty windows it can give a false reading... ...I've got stock tint on my 33 and it's even faded because you can see the SAU Vic sticker "shadow" after I removed them... ...And they still sometimes tell me it's too dark...

Did you ask them which windows at the time they pulled you over? It'll most likely be your side windows and probably the rear.

Your windscreen most likely won't be tinted...no tint place would do that for you because it's illegal to put any tint on the windscreen.

you just have to make sure your car is in line with the regulations:

this should give you all the info you need

You make my head hurt!

You don't have to replace the window. Just peel the tinting off!

The question has already been answered.

Closing thread as the question has been answered.

Also read emts post and ensure you understand the ruling on TINT.

Or simply call a Tint place in Box Hill and explain to them.
