Wrong.

sunroof: no slider, just body metal and ceiling cloth aka sunroof. all sun or none. most commonly found in the older early 90's late 80's bmws

moonroof: glass, with cloth slider, still able to slide glass back to expose the open air. more common in alot of cars now days.

source: my opinion

 

soudns like you need to go to someone else to get the tint...don't see how it can explode!

btw, where'd you get your "nonaga" plate?

 

I tinted my first car and didnt know I could tint my sunroof. On my second car, I already had tint. If I were to tint my current car, I would tint the sunroof, If I didnt, the only thing stopping me is pricing.

 

I tinted the sunroof on the max, but not for privacy (what are you worried about, helicopters?? ). It's so I can leave the cover open and not bake in Houston sun.

It works really well, cuts out most of the heat while still letting a lot of light through. Think I used 18% SolarGard metallic.

 

^ Same reason here... Though, I still can't stand the sunlight glare even with 5% on a bright, sunny day...

 

i tinted my sunroof with 1 layer of 20% and another layer of 40% vkool tint...it blocks out a lot of heat when i have the cover open but still puts in a good amount of light compared to some stock tinted sunroofs. i have 20% tint all around with frost interior so with sunroof cover open it'll still look slightly brighter inside haha

 

Like somone else posted, a tint guy told me that no manufacturer recommends tinting the sunroof. It has something to do with the glass cracking. He also said that he's done many without anyone coming back to complain.

 

ya the tinted sunroof makes the rest of the car/windows look more complete huh

 

I wanted to say that the results have been a pretty consistant 50/50
So this is one modification that is equally divided in views.

 

Yes, tinting the sunroof helps a lot. Doesn't let so much sunlight get it. And you wont "fry" your head. I got 5%.

 

Tinted Sunroof FTW

 

What kind of dark tints are you guys running and not getting harassed about? I have a grey lustre 01 AE and want to go pretty dark because it will look good, but I don't wanna get hassled. Thanks.

 

^ Depends on the cops in your area. In TN, I haven't met one that's really cared, knock on wood... I've got 17% and would've easily gotten 15% in charcoal if I had really wanted charcoal. Platinum Plus semi-metallic > charcoal.

 

I was told by a tint shop that metallic/mirror coats are far less quality

 

Sounds like something a shop that carries only dyed films would say.

 

IM not sure, considering that my car with an rearwindshield antenna cannot get reg tint (im guessing with metal) has to get a non-metallic tint.
Its quite a contradiction. They quoted that my non-metalic is better quality(more $$)

 

Exactly. Find a shop that uses quality film (like Llumar) and you'll be good. I've had Platinum Plus on my Max for over a year in 17% with no issues, and had it for over 2.5 years on my last car in 35%.

 

Don't tint your sunnroof. It doens't help at all during summer time. It only helps if your gettin pulled over for tinting your windows too dark.

 

Incorrect. Tinting your sunroof isn't illegal anywhere I'm aware of, as the sunroof doesn't affect forward or rearward vision. And have you ever opened (tilted) a sunroof in 95 degrees with 0% tint versus 5% tint? Massive difference in the light and heat that filters down through it.

wow...........
