Has anyone tinted the sunroof?

AussiePete · Feb 28, 2021

In the hope we might get some sun this summer, I'm considering getting the windows tinted. I wondered if anyone who had their windows tinted also got the sunroof tinted?

Mine's already tinted.

There’s already quite a tint on the sunroof - I don’t suppose more tinting would hurt but if I did tint I would look at the side windows as a priority First

Folks, I think you’re right there’s a tint on it at the moment - I just didn’t realise

The sunroof is having a Okey degree of tinting. But the rest is just clear glass, so I got all 8 windows tinted after just one month of ownership.

Sun roof is already tinted and has UV filter

Down here in holey Ozone land, I’ve found the tint and blind pretty effective. The other windows definitely need tinting though.

It's a bad idea to tint the already tinted sunroof as it can cause the sunroof glass to crack. An Authorised car window tint company should be able to Answer your questions in Australia.

Or wherever you are in the world lol. All the side windows and a strip of window tint put on the top of the front windscreen would definitely benefit all Australian owners with our hot and bright sunshine and summers.

I asked MG a while back and they confirmed that the SkyRoof has tinting & UV filter but none of the windows do.

Ozpete5000 · Mar 7, 2021

That is correct I'm saying you should not add additional tint film to the sunroof otherwise in direct hot sunlight the sunroof glass could crack.

You’d probably be better off with triple-glazing up your way

It should come with a free bottle of Factor 60 suncream.

I'm not in Oz, I'm actually in Scotland

The front windows and windshield is tinted with 30% the rest is darker with 70% tint. So nothing extreme, just so I can save on the sun-lotion and ice-creams for the family

To some degree it is correct, but that is only if you are having double glas/thermo Windows.

well Jeps, I'm talking specifically about the sunroof, and the advice given to me by the window tinting company was not to add additional tint film to the already tinted sunroof, this advice applies to Australian owners. I'm sure you can get advice in the country where you reside on this matter.

Ozpete5000, I guess you are dealing with other temperatures then we are, especially right now, this morning -7 degrees here in Denmark
