Tinting the sunroof glass

Any of you fellas add aditional tint to the sunroof's glass? It's already tinted from the factory (or the glass is colored, not too sure), but I wouldn't mind it being a little darker. If you have it tinted darker, got any pics?

Not a good idea!!!!!!!! the tint that is on there now is a factory polarized tint and if you tint it again it will explode from direct sunlight or atleast crack this i know for sure cause i had done this in the past with another vehicle

I asked my tint shop about this and after looking at my sunroof they guy said that yeah, they can do it. He said that they don't do it often, but every once in a while someone wants it.

If it's going to explode I better take mine off of my 95 max btw I did mine myself it's not the best but most people can't tell cause I used like 3%. It's been on there for two years lol. Maybe people were tinting the skyview roofs an that is the reason for the recall. Expolding sunroofs wow I have heard it all. Watch your heads.

It was something to do with the glass in the middle of a top layer and a bottom layer of tint that with direct sunlight hitting it actually cracked the glass(maybe explode was a lil too much of a term to use)
