Default Sunstrip Legal or Illegal in California?

I wanted to put a sunstrip on my car, but i heard it can only be a certain size. Also, that the wiper blades can't touch the sunstrip.
The thing is doesn't the Scion wiper blades touch the top of the windshield?

Can someone help clarify this? I really appreciate it . Thanks

According to tintlaws.com, a 4" sunstrip is allowed... I'm not sure how up to date the site is, but it's a start.

Well it all depends on how low it goes and how dark it is. I think its about the length of how low your sun visors go.

yeah any solid color could possibly get you a ticket because your obstructing the view of the windshield. Use tint not vinyl. Cops will use any excuse to pull you over.
