What You Need to Know About Window Tint Laws in Queensland

Red and blue police light bar illuminated at night

Queensland sets a minimum of 35 per cent visible light transmittance on your front side windows and 20 per cent behind the driver, but the 20 per cent only applies if your car has a mirror on each side, and the limit is measured on the film and glass combined rather than the film alone. Factory-tinted glass changes what you can legally fit, privacy glass plays by different rules entirely, and the windscreen band is governed by your wiper sweep line rather than a flat percentage. This guide sets out each figure from the Department of Transport and Main Roads, and what an inspector actually measures.
