I went ahead and tinted my Sky lounge pano

I tinted my sky lounge pano roof this week. It did not change the look at all as far as I can tell. But makes a huge difference in the heat rejection. Much better now. The place that does the tint said they have done several and have had no issues with cracking. I used Xpel XR plus 70%. That’s the same as the windshield it’s virtually clear. Hope this helps someone who is thinking about doing the same thing.

Good to know; thanks. I wanted it done at the dealership, but their tint company recommended against it. I might have to track someone down to complete it now.

I’ve read that there are companies recommending against it but I’ve had several cars done and haven’t had any issues so I just don’t see why this would be different. We are in the Houston area so it’s almost a necessity. Closing the shade is not even close to the same thing.

I think it was 350ish. Had a bunch of stuff done at the same time so don’t totally remember.

Is it just the image or did it actually make the light capturing spots more pronounced?

It looks the same to me. Definitely did not take away from it. That’s what I was worried about. I never really gave this option any consideration but I will say we really like it.
