Any problem if I send my car in for inspection within this month, or should I wait until May/June? Expand i like to go early if i can. if i'm not wrong, the window opens 3 months before the due date. give more time to fix issues if required. Fortunately so far no major issues that required a return for 2nd inspection 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yup if you can do that on the spot, then just do it. I recall for my CLS350, the previous owner tint the rear windows too dark and it failed. I brought it immediately to a shop nearby to get it removed and then went back to show the Test supervisor. He took one look and immediately passed for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Testing centres use a device to check. You can even see the percentage of light reading on the handheld device they use. True factory tints will never fail. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
