Condition of glazing. Glazing shall meet the requirements of
Chapter 161 (relating to glazing materials). See
75 Pa.C.S. §
4526
(relating to safety glass).
(b)
Safety glazing. A vehicle specified under this subchapter may

a vehicle manufactured or assembled before January 1, 1934, if original glazing
is not cracked or discolored.

Obstructions. A vehicle specified under this subchapter shall
have glazing free from obstructions as described in §

procedure).
(1) With the exception of
materials in paragraph (3), signs, posters or other materials, whose design
prevents a driver from seeing through the material, may not be placed on the

the driver's clear view of the highway or an intersecting highway. Under FMVSS
No. 205, these restrictions do not apply to the rear side windows, rear wings
or rear window of vehicles subject to this subchapter, if so
equipped.
(2) The requirements of
this subsection also apply to glass etchings, except those used for vehicle
identification.
(3) A sun screening
device or other material which does not permit a person to see or view the
inside of the vehicle is prohibited unless otherwise permitted by FMVSS No.
205, or a certificate of exemption has been issued in compliance with §
175.265 (relating to exemption
provisions). See Table X for specific requirements for vehicles subject to this
