Tint Question: Solar Gard and sunroof

Is "Solar Gard" good brand for windows tint?
Anyone use it before?
Also, is sunroof tinted already? or just private class?

Thanks

Not sure why you would tint it when you could close the cover... and this is coming from someone that tinted their entire car (including windshield)

My current 6 year car has Ceramic LLumarFilm. Very happy with it.

Sunroof does not come with tint so I did 5% where I can see out at all times.

I do not constantly stare through the sunroof, but I see well enough when driving on a sunny day. At night, I can see the street lights.

I did the same on the F15 with no issues, but another poster here used anecdotal evidence to say such tints make the sunroof more prone to cracking.

I've read that post. Doesn't make sense and I believe it is a myth.
