The statute doesn't specify percentages.
The PA Administrative Code does.
Scroll down to Table X - ACCEPTABLE LIGHT TRANSMITTANCE LEVELS FOR VEHICLE GLAZING

I'm sure that, as far as PA is concerned, that's the law, although there are those that believe that the Administrative Code isn't law.

I doubt if you'll get very far with that argument in court.
If you go back and look at the complete statute you'll find that the statute allows for a medical exemption.
http://law.justia.co...5/section-4524/
If your sneeze thing can be medically documented, feel free to apply for an exemption.
If you think you can find another state to live in that doesn't have laws that you don't like, well, good luck with that.
Meantime, if you don't remove the tinting, you'll just keep on getting cited for it.

this tint as been on the car since i purchased it and for all i knew it was or is factory installed as it is not that dark can easily see into the window; clearly identify anything in the car not good for thieves looking to rob people.
here is the case copied in case the link doesnt work:
( (2). (Trial court opinion, 2/18/09 at 10-11.) That section provides:( Other violations.—It is unlawful for any person to do any of the following:
75 Pa.C.S.A. § 4107( (2). The simple retort to the trial court's thesis that the terms of 67 Pa.Code § 175.67(d)(4) are mandated by 75 Pa.C.S.A. § 4107( (2) is that appellant was not charged for violating § 4107( (2) but, rather, was charged with violating § 4524(e)(1), which does not contain either explicitly or by reference[ 5 A.3d 266 ]the 70% transmittance standard utilized to convict appellant. Cf. Commonwealth v. Noack, 737 A.2d 1236 (Pa.Super.1999) (Driver convicted of § 4107( (2) for failing to maintain appropriate log books while driving a commercial motor vehicle.

A simple Google search turned up a Tinted Window Fact Sheet (http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/fact_sheets/fs-sun.pdf) published by PennDOT. It states the 70% light transmission requirement in black and white.
In the future, I suggest that you pay your registration on time.
Since the citations were not given to you, you won't be permitted to argue against such citations in court. As a paralegal you should know that.
Otherwise, I agree with adjusterjack's comments above.
You realize this thread is 18 months old and reactivated by someone wanting to know this came out, right? Presumably the OP's situation has been resolved one way or another by now.
