Magic Sky Control

Has anyone gotten this option? At its darkest setting does it block out most light? Any thoughts?

The general manager at my local MB dealer complained about his wife's SL with Magic Sky. He said he had to have THREE layers of reflective tint put on the roof, just to keep the interior reasonably cool in the summer here in So. Calif.

I have magic sky on my SL and I live in Arizona, it works amazingly well to keep the heat out, I have been very impressed with it and would order it again if it were an option

It blocks out most of the light on the dark setting and is see through on the lighter setting, awesome technology
