State

Your tint's VLT (optional)

VLT (visible light transmission) is the share of light the film lets through; a lower number is darker. It is printed on the film packaging or your installation receipt. Leave it blank to just read the limits.

Wyoming legal tint limit, window by window

Front side windows

28% VLT min

At least 28% total light transmission through film and glass combined.

Back side windows

28% min

At least 28% on passenger cars. Trucks, buses, motor homes, ambulances, limousines, and multipurpose passenger vehicles are exempt behind the driver.

Rear window

28% min

At least 28% on passenger cars; exempt vehicle classes may use any darkness. Any tint behind the driver requires dual outside mirrors.

Windshield

AS-1 / top 5 in strip

A non-reflective strip may run along the top of the windshield only, and it may not extend below the AS-1 line or more than 5 inches from the top, whichever is closer. It may not be red, yellow, or amber.

Medical exemption

A vehicle operated by or used to transport a person whose medical condition makes them susceptible to harm from sunlight may carry darker film, down to 25% light transmission, with physician certification and authorization from the director. The windshield may not drop below 70% except in the upper 5 inches or above the AS-1 line.

Penalty

The section states no dollar amount. A sunscreening violation falls under the Chapter 5 traffic penalty structure, so any fine comes from the general traffic-penalty provisions rather than §31-5-962.

Tint-meter tolerance

Not specified in the statute

Enter your film's VLT above to check it against each Wyoming window limit, or read the limits as they stand.

The 28% floor behind the driver does not reach trucks, buses, motor homes, ambulances, limousines, or multipurpose passenger vehicles, which may use any darkness there. Any tint behind the driver triggers the dual-mirror requirement.

Film is sold by its own VLT, but police measure the installed darkness: the film combined with your factory glass, which reads darker than the film alone. These are the Wyoming figures stated as information, not a determination about any stop or ticket.

Informational only, not legal advice. Reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. See the full rules, the exemption steps, and the citations on the Wyoming window tint reference, cited to Wyo. Stat. §31-5-962.

How the Wyoming tint rules work

Wyoming runs a single 28% floor: front side windows, back side windows, and the rear window on a passenger car all need to pass at least 28% of light. SUVs, vans, trucks, and a handful of other classes escape that floor behind the driver and may go as dark as they like there, but any rear tint at all means the vehicle needs both outside mirrors. The windshield stays clear apart from a non-reflective strip along the top, and a documented medical condition can drop the side floor to 25%.

This checker applies the Wyoming figures to the VLT you enter. It is informational only and not legal advice: reflectivity limits, color bans, and vehicle-class exceptions can change the answer for a specific car. For the full rules, the shades table, and the citations, see the Wyoming window tint reference, cited to Wyo. Stat. §31-5-962.
