Default Tinted the sunroof

I really hated the mesh sunroof cover so I had sunroof ceramic tinted. What a difference. Light doesn't shine through and it's way cooler.

Now if there was a fix for the pedals being so close......My Q would be perfect. Other than that I love the car!

Default What tint percentage did you use?

(either way: percentage transmitted or blocked) From experience w/ the Mini S w/ among the first panoramic roofs, made a big difference in even perceived IR sort of heat on exposed skin under the (closed) roof in the sun. Leaning toward very minor on front sides (more for uV protection), but likely further tint on roof panels too.

Not sure about percentage, installer showed a me a couple of samples, not sure the number but it's dark.

I put 3M Crystalline 40 on my two front and pano. Love the look and reduced temperature. Really thinking of putting 90 on the windshield.
