The laws are different in every state. In NY, where I am, you can't have any tint on your driver side front or passenger window. Since we have no other windows, no tint for me!

I actually ended up winning 2 $150 tint gift certificates at a car show once. I ended up just selling them because I couldn't use them.

I have 35% on both side windows. You can't tint the plastic window of the soft top, but if you have the later models with glass in the back, you could tint that the same % or even darker. Or you could even re-do the rear plastic window with a tinted plastic one sold at this web site.

It will match the sides better. Allot of labor involved if you decide to remove the old plastic one.

Looks like in Boston, 35% is allowed :

For most vehicles, aftermarket tinting that registers at least 35% on a tint meter on side windows immediately adjacent to the driver and front passenger seats, and side windows immediately to the rear of the operator and passenger, is acceptable. The rear window may be tinted to the 35% level, but the vehicle must be equipped with two outside rear view mirrors. The windshield may only be tinted down to the AS-1 line, which is usually located in the uppermost (6) inches of the windshield.
