Legal window tint limits in Iowa
Iowa caps the front side windows at 70% VLT and sets no limit behind them, so back side and rear windows can go as dark as you like. A 70% limit means only very light, nearly clear film is legal beside the driver. On the windshield, Iowa allows a non-reflective strip above the AS-1 line (a mark near the top edge of most windshields).
VLT is the percent of visible light the film lets through; a higher number is a lighter, more legal tint. These limits are for passenger vehicles. Tint laws change and enforcement varies, so confirm with your Iowa DMV or a local shop before installing. See every state's tint limits side by side.
| Window | Legal limit |
|---|---|
| Windshield | Top of AS-1 line |
| Front side windows | 70% |
| Back side windows | Any |
| Rear window | Any |
