For some reason, I have never thought of tinting the sunroof...seems like a brilliant idea...

In Florida most cars/trucks have tinted windows. You are correct only an "eyebrow" is legit on the windshield extending down to the stamp on the glass. I cheat and bring down about 8-10". That works for me. The leo's run close to privacy tint on their windows, windshields are clear both cruiser's and pov's. Kinda hard to cite folks for doing what leo's are doing.In my state only the cartel runs tint on the windshield. That and posers who haven’t figured it out yet. I get Florida but check your state laws most only allow what’s called an eyebrow.
Nowadays ceramic tint is the best to use and can reduce UV and heat with virtually little to no tint. I'm not worried since I used Air Blue 80 on mine. And most reliable tinting companies will tell you what's best for the sunroof.I don't know what the "new" thinking on tinting sunroofs is, but it used to be not recommended due to possible breakage. Maybe there's newer technology? It really does make sense, especially in the west and south.
Just this. I remember being worried when I went to get window tint about the sunroof and all the chatter about the glass exploding in the heat. Detailer laughed and pointed me toward ceramic tint. I also had my windshield tinted and you can't tell by looking at it. Live in Georgia and the tint is just what the doctor ordered for keeping the UV and heat down on the interior. Don't get me wrong, you leave your Expy out in the sun and it heats up but the interior is much more protected. Also, could just be a mental thing but I believe the interior cools down quicker on those days it is left out. I also believe the air conditioner doesn't work as hard when driving on road trips. Just my 2 cents worth.Nowadays ceramic tint is the best to use and can reduce UV and heat with virtually little to no tint. I'm not worried since I used Air Blue 80 on mine.

Here in Florida its the local police that go for illegal tint. There are only two exceptions; K9 vehicles and undercover vehicles (to blend in with riff-raff, I guess).In my state only the cartel runs tint on the windshield.

Tint law isn’t based on window color. Its based on light pass thru numbers. It’s directly linked to night time visibility. Get in a wreck at night with front windshield coatings and your insurance has a legal out to skip coverage. Great example of you can but should you?Geez, reading comprehension.
Some states do not allow any tint, regardless if it's clear or not, or base their rulings on the darkness of the tint. Some states won't allow darker tint on the driver and passenger front doors. While other states are more forgiving. Nighttime visibility is based on the darkness of the tint, not UV and heat reduction.Tint law isn’t based on window color. Its based on light pass thru numbers.
