Which windows the rules cover
The limits are the share of light that passes through the glass. The windscreen must let through at least 70% of light, and the front side windows at least 50%.
Commercial vehicles have a 70% limit. A sticker strip at the top of the windscreen cannot cover more than 20%.
The compound for these offences is RM150 to RM300.
If you need darker windows for security reasons, you can apply for an exemption. The application fee is RM50. Approval on security grounds costs RM5,000 and lasts 2 years.
We have not confirmed the limit for rear windows, so this page does not list one.
