On this page, pictures shows two good example of a non roadworthy tint on a wind up window, and a rear screen. On the wind up window, the glass is no longer clearly seen through from the inside, and the mirror is not viewable. And on the rear screen, the tint has bubbled, and is difficult to see through the glass. These are classed as faulty tints and should be removed immediately as they are not safe, and are not permitted on registered road vehicles. Feel free to continue reading below the steps required for removing faulty window tinting.
