Tint moonroof?

Katin · 03-19-2016, 10:20 PM

Tint shops have different stories, some say it could cause the glass to explode and others say that glass is the same as any other factory tinted glass and its a myth.

Anybody have success or failure to report?

Never heard that before. I thought the sunroof glass comes tinted from the factory. Why would it explode?

The moonroof is tinted but does not reject heat very well like a high quality film. I have graduated from wanting tint cause it looks cool to wanting tint to keep things cool. AND look cool 😎
