Default Vinyl wrap on panorama sunroof

Hi folks,

I've searched around but haven't found anyone doing a vinyl wrap on their sunroof to help deal with heat. I'm not a big fan of the aesthetic of these types of applications, but having a new baby and dealing with the Texas sun and heat has become a bit challenging.

I already have a ceramic tint on the sunroof, but I'm thinking that a light colored vinyl wrap applied to the exterior would really help to shield baby's eyes from the bright sun and also keep the car a bit cooler.

Has anyone tried this? And thoughts?

Thanks!

We had the same issue while baby and wife was sitting on back seats. First we had 20% tint which wasn't enough so back to tintshop, old off and new darkest 5% tint on and roof became doable.
Finally after 70k miles came time to look for replacement and now we truly enjoy being "panoramaless" woohoo

Anyways, I was considering same and if I would have found matching silver wrap (ours was silver as well) that is outdoors proof, I would have got both panels done rightaway.
