Regional Climate & Cultural Impact
Oregon maintains a uniform 35% VLT limit on all side and rear windows, simplifying compliance but restricting dark privacy configurations.
Common Compliance Misconceptions
- •Assuming the 35% limit allows 20% tint.
- •Applying metallic tint that interferes with vehicle GPS or radio signals.
