I had the same situation. I removed my own tint with warm soapy water and a razor blade scraper which took about 15 per window, including clean up. I was quoted $35 a window to remove the tint.

For and SUV, you will have to remove the two front window tints get it inspected and then reinstall the tint then remove it again for the next inspection.

Unfortunately, that’s the easiest way.

There is a remarkable planted pine forest across from Browning mill pond in Arcadia. Park across the street at the first small pond on your left, directly across is a small field, at the end of the field is the pine forest.

It’s funny you mention inspection stations not knowing the law. When I used to live in MA I took my crown vic(former cop car) to get inspected. It had 35% tint on the front windows which is legal in MA. The first place I went to said “if it’s that car you want inspected I’m gonna have to charge you to remove the tint it’s too dark” left and went to a different inspection station. The dude threw a tiny meter on it and then passed the car no problem. You’d think every inspection place should be on the same page

I was a RI state inspector for a while and they teach in the class that any after market tint is illegal. They said that a piece of clear plastic wrap blocks enough light to technically be illegal so anything with color is definitely illegal. Since all inspections are recorded and monitored by the inspection main office, don't expect many techs to let it slide since it's easily visible.
