Failed Fahes inspection due to Window Tint.. how to fix?

Bought a used car. Took it to Fahes in Wadi Al Banat. They failed it because the window tint (Makhoufi) is "too dark" even though the previous owner passed with it last year. Do I really have to remove it completely or can I just replace the front windows?

Traffic laws strictly allow only up to 10% tint on the front driver/passenger windows and windshield unless you have a specific medical permit. If Fahes failed it, the inspector tested it with a light meter. You MUST remove the tint from the front windows to pass the re-inspection. You can leave the rear windows tinted. Just go to any shop in Salwa Road, they remove it for 50 QAR, go pass Fahes, and you are good.

شيل المخفي اللي قدام بس وخل اللي ورا، فاحص يدققون على درايش السواق واللي جنبه فقط، الباقي يمشونه.

Just remove the tint, or reduce the capacity of the tent to 10% then it will pass
