The rules, window by window
| Window | Rule |
|---|---|
| Front side windows | Minimum 28% VLT |
| Rear side windows | Minimum 28% VLT |
| Rear window | Minimum 28% VLT |
Windshield
Sunscreening or tinting on the windshield is allowed only on the top portion, not extending beyond the AS-1 line or more than five inches from the top; it must be nonreflective and may not be red, yellow, or amber. Sun shading or tinting film on the windshield may not reduce total light transmittance below 70 percent outside that strip (Wyo. Stat. 31-5-962).
The standard in the law's own words
The section regulates by numeric transmittance and reflectance limits plus the windshield strip rule.
Reflectivity
No sunscreening device or tinting film may have a luminous reflectance of light exceeding 20 percent (Wyo. Stat. 31-5-962).
Color restrictions
Windshield sunscreening must not be red, yellow, or amber in color (Wyo. Stat. 31-5-962).
Medical exemption
A vehicle operated by a person with a medical condition rendering them susceptible to harm from sunlight, certified by a physician, may use tinting reducing light transmission to not less than 25 percent on the side and rear windows; the windshield must still maintain at least 70 percent transmittance except in the top strip (Wyo. Stat. 31-5-962).
Enforcement
The standard is stated as combined transmittance: total light transmission through both the sunscreening device and the glazing must be not less than 28 percent. If sunscreening or tinting is added to windows behind the operator, one left and one right outside rearview mirror are required.
Notes
The 28 percent combined floor applies uniformly to front side windows, rear side windows, and the rearmost window; no sedan vs MPV/SUV distinction is stated in the section as read. A historical grandfather clause allowed 13 percent film applied before July 1, 1996 only through December 31, 1996. Primary-source caveat: the Wyoming Legislature publishes statutes as bulk downloads that could not be fetched in this pass, and the Justia page returned HTTP 403; text was verified from the FindLaw full-text reproduction of Wyo. Stat. 31-5-962. A human reviewer should confirm against the official Wyoming statutes (wyoleg.gov).
