Yeah you have a court date and I believe if it isn't fixed by that point they will issue you a ticket for the offense, which is noted at $360 per the Oregon.gov link I posted earlier.

You will need to have the tint removed from all windows, as Oregon law is 35% all around. Once it is removed you can go to your local police station and have them sign your fix it ticket certifying that you have corrected the issue.

Make a photocopy of the front and back of the ticket for your records, then mail the ticket to the courthouse or drop in and hand it to them personally so that you can get confirmation that nothing more is required from you.

• Windshield Non-reflective tint is allowed on the top 6 inches of the windshield.
• Front Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
• Back Side Windows Must allow more than 35% of light in.
• Rear Window Must allow more than 35% of light in.

HOW REFLECTIVE CAN THE TINT BE IN OREGON?
Similar to sunglass lenses, some tinting film contain metallic elements that help in reflecting incoming light and reducing the glare and heat generated by visible light.
• Front Side Windows Must not be more than 13% reflective.
• Back Side Windows Must not be more than 13% reflective.

OTHER OREGON RULES AND REGULATIONS
