Loving the 15% tint. Much cooler and much less light transmitted, especially with the sunshade closed. I think I could have gone with 35% tint quite frankly but oh well.

Make sure you get the high end tint, not the low cost stuff. The high end tint will reflect more of the sun's UV light, even if you go with one that isn't as dark, it will still reflect more UV.

Living in AZ, I know how useless the sunroof glas tint is. You can go with darker tint, but then it's useless at night when you want to see out of it.

Use the ceramic tint that is now widely available in tint shops. You can keep the clarity you currently have and install a 95% transmission ceramic tint with almost not loss in visibility.

I just keep a cap on the back seat and put it on as required. I worried about this before i bought the car but it is a non issue for me and I have had the car for 4 years now.
