NYS DMV says:
Section 375 (12-a) of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law does not allow a windshield or front side windows that are dark. •The windshield and front side windows cannot block more than 30% of the light. ◦Seventy percent or more of the light from the outside must pass through the window.
•This law also applies to the rear window unless the vehicle has outside rear-view mirrors on both sides. ◦The mirrors must give the driver a full and clear view behind the vehicle.
•Rear side windows must also allow at least seventy percent of light from the outside to pass through the window if the vehicle is classified as a ◦station wagon ◦sedan ◦hardtop ◦coupe ◦hatchback ◦convertible
A vehicle falls into one of these categories if it is labeled “Passenger Car” on the Federal ID label found on the left front door panel.
