Window Covers and PA

I recently bought a pair of MMD rear quarter window covers...

And now I'm afraid to install them, having been told they might be illegal in Pennsylvania. Anyone know?

I've never heard of them being illegal. I'm not even sure how they could be. I had some on my car for 10 months before I took them off and never had an issue and I'm in PA.

I wouldn't be afraid to install these! You're going to love them. I've never heard of anyone getting in trouble with the law because of a set of rear window louvers.

If you don't want to risk it, you can always give your local police station a call and see what they think. I'd image you won't run into any issues. The Police have much bigger things to worry about that than a set of rear window louvers. There's thousands of people running these!

Hope this helps.

It's not regular louver that I'm worried about. It's the solid (flat) covers. Apparently there's this...

TITLE 75 Section 4524 (e)(1) of the Pennsylvania Common Statutes:

(1) No person shall drive any motor vehicle with any sun screening device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the inside of the vehicle through the windshield, side wing or side window of the vehicle.

Pretty sure they are just referring to the door windows. They can still see in them and the rear window.

I am in PA and have the louvers. For all intents and purposes they may as well be totally blacked out. I have had no problems with the police.
