do what i do, just call a different insurance company and ask them the questions, say you dont have your policy number on hand but you have a quick question. lol

and as far as your question goes, i personally never heard anything like that. if it is true in anyway, you can fight it just the same, say you hit someone head on, then the ins. company has to prove that it was due to and obstruction of veiw out your side windows, not likely and hard for them to back up. also if you back into someone, its not a tint issue either, rear windows in nj can be ANY percent, even 100. The whole subjetc falls into a large grey area. like theyd have to prove wiondows were up in the first place. they may try to avoid paying a claim, but they cant drop you just for that and they cant get away 100% with refusing a claim, they can say no but you can fight it, its never an open and shut case. I had 5% tints on my STS and my SS for a long time, i only took the SS side tints off since they were peeling, but if i still had them, i wouldnt lose any sleep over worrying about my insurance company, and trust me, my insurance company has watched my house and taken pictures of my yard and driveway. since i part out cars all the time and have parts laying around they never know which cars they are insuring and if those are the ones in peices.
