The Renault Kwid is a game-changer in the entry-level segment—a mini-SUV that offers SUV-inspired styling, high ground clearance, and affordable pricing. At **Protint**, we provide smart, budget-friendly protection solutions tailored specifically for your Kwid.
> **⚠️ CRITICAL LEGAL NOTE**: The Supreme Court has strictly banned aftermarket sun films on all vehicles, regardless of VLT percentage. Your Kwid is **NOT EXEMPT** from this ban. The only legal sun protection options are your **factory glass** and **magnetic sun shades (parked only)**. **DO NOT** install aftermarket tinted films .

## ⚖️ 1. SUN FILM LEGALITY – What Kwid Owners Must Know
The Supreme Court, in its orders dated 27th April 2012 and 3rd August 2012, held that affixation of solar films on safety glasses is illegal, being a violation of Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 (CMVRs). The Court explicitly ruled that **'No black film or any other material can be affixed on the wind screen or side glasses of the vehicle'** .
**Legal Requirements (Rule 100(2) of CMVR, 1989):**
| Window | Minimum VLT Required |
|:---|:---|
| **Front & Rear Windscreen** | **70%** |
| **Side Windows** | **50%** |
### Your Legal Sun Protection Options
| Solution | Legality | Use Case | Recommendation |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Factory Renault Glass** | ✅ 100% Legal | Driving | As equipped – DO NOT remove |
| **Magnetic Sun Shades** | ✅ Legal (PARKED ONLY) | Parked UV protection | **HIGHLY RECOMMENDED** – remove while driving |
| **Aftermarket Tinted Films** | ❌ Illegal | Not permitted | **NOT RECOMMENDED** – fines + on-the-spot removal |
**Important Legal Update**: While there is a parliamentary push to amend the Central Motor Vehicles Act to permit sun control films (noting that India exports sun control film to more than 80 countries) , **as of 2026, no amendment has been passed**. The Supreme Court ban remains the law .
**Penalties for Violation**: Traffic police can issue challans and remove illegal tint on the spot. First-time offences typically incur a ₹100–500 fine, with repeat offences attracting ₹300–2, 000 fines and possible licence suspension .
