Front window tint
#26
Mine used to creak when I first got the vehicle (but not terribly so, and only when going over large speed bumps, etc) but not that much anymore.
The cover is totally fine, and although it’s a mesh-like material, does a great job keeping the sun out even at midday.
I will def order the pano again. Also had this on my prev vehicle. Love all that light come inside the cabin when I choose to.
Cheers,

So I bit the bullet and went for tinting the windshield.
Went with 50% and could not be happier. The difference in the cabin is amazing. It looks shaded and there's a sense of enhanced privacy. It is not so dark so as to limit the outward vision and at night I can see just as if I hadn't any tint at all. Glare and reflection from the ambient lights is no more than without it. Front cameras and electronics all work without any issues. From the outside it looks awesome as you can only see a silhouette of the interior.
Current setup:
- Rear windows: 25% factory
- Front windows: 30% ceramic
- Panorama roof: 15% ceramic
- Windshield: 50% ceramic

I put 80% ceramic on the windshield of my ML. Positives: it cut heat and glare a LOT, while maintaining perfect visibility; and it also reduced wind noise a noticeable amount on the highway. Negatives: most states it is illegal to pu ANYTHING on the windshield, if you wear polarized sunglasses most of the sky is a funny rainbow color that sort of throws you off at first. For the $100 or whatever it costs, I'd do it again... totally worth it if you live somewhere REALLY hot and/or sunny. Helps the A/C, quietens the cabin, and only professional tinters can tell you've tinted it.
