Does anyone plan on tinting the roof? I plan on tinting all windows with a ceramic film tint but I am not sure whether to do the roof as well. I could do a 30% tint. I live in sunny☀ San Diego area!

Seems like that decision would better be made after acquiring the car to determine if the factory tint on the roof glass is enough, no?

Can this be moved to the cosmetic category? I think there are discussions about tinting, other options and such already present.

I plan on waiting and seeing for my first Phoenix summer.

I haven't seen glass roof in person but I presume tinting is possible especially with curvature of glass? I would think ceramic tint should reduce heat in warmer climates. Or is factory tint enough to reduce heat and may be UV using special coating?

Just found this info... hope we don't even need tint.

Glass Roof
The benefits of this available Panoramic Fixed Glass roof go beyond its expansive view. Special coating is designed to help the interior stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter with a Low-E on the roof and Infra-red Reflective coating on the windshield.

I don’t think you’ll need to. I bought mine on a sunny day and honestly it is hard to tell it’s even sunny out sometimes because of how well it reflects the UV rays.
