WHAT IS AN AS-1 LINE?<\/strong> <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re wondering if you can tint your windshield, you need to first grasp what the AS-1 line is and where it’s located on your car.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you look very closely at your vehicle’s windshield<\/a>, you will be able to see a hash sign or other markings on the top or bottom corner of your car’s windshield known as the AS1 Line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These marks are often in tiny letters or numerals indicating the <\/p>\n\n\n\n

AS-1 lines are parallel to the top of your car’s windshield, or a line five inches underneath and parallel to the top of your windshield.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This refers to the area above the rear-view mirror, also known as the visor strip for most automobiles.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mark was designed to distinguish the most transparent kind of glass used on windshields, as well as indicate the maximum tint level<\/a> that may be put on the windshield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No tint film is permitted beneath the AS-1 line, often about five inches down from the top of your windshield, in any state.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most often, the AS-1 tag can be found if you look at the bottom edge of your car’s windshield, where the glass meets the car. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If the designation is not at the bottom, some cars may have it written at the top corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If for some reason there is no indication on your car’s windshield of an AS-1 marker, you should contact the manufacturer and inquire directly with them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based on how low (from the top of the windshield) you wanted to apply the tinting film<\/a>, there are specific parameters for each state that will determine how low you can go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the commonality across all U.S. states is that you are permitted to apply a strip of tint film at the top of your windshield that spans several inches in depth and can run all the way across the windshield but not cover the entire windshield. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
