Just before the xmas break I took the brumby in to get it's windows tinted. When I got it back I thought the tinting on the windows looked heaps darker than the tinting on the windscreen didn't bother too much about it at the time. That night I had a better look at it and the windscreen wasn't even tinted!
Now the place I got it done at seems to be on a xmas break so I haven't been able to get ahold of them and find out what's going on chances are it was a genuine mistake.
Then the other day somebody told me that when you get windows tinted they don't do the windscreen ... Is that true? I don't wanna call up / go see these guys only to find out that I'm a newb and should have known they don't do them, but at the same time, if they should have, then I need to take it back and get the job finished.
Window Tinting
WARNING – WINDOW TINTING STANDARDS
A work order may be imposed on a vehicle under the Road Traffic Act if the tinting applied to its windows has:
• Visible light transmittance of less than 35% when measured through both the glass and film together or
• Reflectance in the visible light range is more than 20%. (10% after 1 November, 2002) or
• Wrinkled, blistered, bubbled, or discoloured such that visibility through the glass and film is impaired. (Note that a standard car window glass may have a low transmittance level even before tinting).
No tinting is permitted on the windscreen except on:
• The area above the highest point of the windscreen that is swept by a windscreen wiper, or
• The upper 10% of the windscreen
