    Look at your windscreen it has a line marked which you can't go past.

    NCT manual https://www.ncts.ie/media/1004/nct-manual-july-2014.pdf page 23 just says "4 Objects or stickers in drivers direct line of vision" which is open to interpretation but as long as you're not taking the pee it should be ok.

    Some people say "not into the wiper area", I think this is wrong though

    I had a 6 inch sun strip on my civic years ago, never had an issue.

    Whether it changed since then I don’t know.

    12 inches is 30 cm
    25 inches you said in OP is 63cm
    Average height for a windscreen is 40 inches/100 cm
    Are you saying inches but mean cm?


    I think this 6/7 inches - about half of what you're saying

    If the mark on the windscreen is not present they use the visors as a guide.
    If the strip goes below the visors it's a fail.
    Got a fair grilling off a garda about it before.
