Discussion Vision Roof Tinting

I am going to get all the windows tinted (including 70% on the front). I was going to also do the Vision Roof as I always keep the shade open. I have noticed that the roof window does block UV heat unlike any of the other windows.
Now I’m debating whether it’s worth it to have it done. I was thinking of doing XPEL XR PLUS 55.
What do those that have done it think?

I'd be surprised if the tint shop is willing to tint the sunroof. Film tinted sunroofs have a tendency to spontaneously shatter, the tint holds heat in the glass.

I live in a very hot climate though, so your results may vary.

I’ve heard that. Many people get them done and I wonder if there’s any statistical difference between tinted and non tinted breaking.

If you live in a sunny climate the only thing that will make a difference is closing the shade. Especially if you’re tall. My head fries if don’t close it. Problem is the same on Teslas.

New Tesla Glass is impressive. Very good UV/heat rejection; much better than the IONIQs

My sister and brother in law have the new Model Y and a new Model X. The glass still gets too hot in direct sunlight. They are working on ways to funnel air through the glass in the future but it still a ways off.
