Question power rear sunshade operation with tint

Had the windows tinted some time but I've been reluctant to try the rear window shade, fearing that with my luck, it will somehow contact the tint and damage it.

Unfounded fear (use the shade at will) or my gut is right (don't use that shade with rear tint)?

Mine works fine, unless your tint person didn't do a smooth job, but most likely it shouldn't be a problem.

I dont believe the shade is close enough to the glass to be an issue. Mine goes up and down with no issues. Honestly, with the windows tinted, I dont use the rollup shade much.

Definately shouldn't be a problem. If you look closely the shade actually has 2 small wheels that roll along the window as it comes up and goes down.

I don't have a problem with mine at all. But I rarely use the shade now since I have my windows tinted.
