Refer to the NB Motor Vehicle act. 30% is the cut off... but don't go putting tint on... your car windows are tinted from the manufacturer which is already at 20% 0r 30%. I forget the actual %age.

238(1.1) Subject to subsection (1.11), no person shall
place or install in or on the front windshield of a motor
vehicle or in or on the side wings or side windows to the
right or the left of the driver of a motor vehicle any colour
spray or other coloured material or any opaque or reflective

(a) obstruct the driver’s clear view of the highway or
any intersecting highway, or
(b) substantially obscure the interior of the motor vehicle
when viewed from outside the motor vehicle.
