🪟 Am I allowed to tint my car windows in Sweden?

With conditions

Quick answer

Only at the rear — film on the front windows is effectively banned. Under Transport Agency rules (TSFS 2013:63), the windshield must let through at least 75% light and the front side windows at least 70%. Aftermarket tint film cannot meet those limits, so you may not tint at the front. The rear side windows and rear window, however, you may tint freely — there is no limit there. The film must also not dazzle or distort vision. Modifications to the vehicle can need a registration inspection. Illegal tint can bring an order to remove the film and a fine.

Windshield: at least 75% light transmittance
