I've got 5% on my sunroof, and 15% all around.. I love it. If it's that nice outside I'll just open the sunroof.. But when it's 100 degrees out side you can sill have the sunshade open and the sun isn't baking your arm and side of your face though the clear sunroof glass. Not that it is a big deal, but it is a bit nicer and the extra tint helps the car stay a touch cooler inside just like tinting the other windows does.

I got mine done. It's difficult to notice it different from the stock tinting but I do notice that with the added tint you can look up almost into the sun without getting blinded so I guess it does make a difference.

I figured with the extra tinting on the sunroof it is harder for people to see inside my car if I don't have the sunshade closed.

had mine done, just added 50%, a little darker but mainly because of cutting out the uv and ir making the car feel even more cooler inside when the sun is out

like the little bit of sunlight, just dont like the glaring heat.

When I got my windows re-tinted last week with 5%, they said they couldn't do the sunroof because it is tempered glass!!!!!!! was that a bunch of BS?
