I don't remember anymore off the top of my head, but the sunroof has a UVA transmission of about less than 5%, and UVB is less than 1%.

I had my fronts only, tinted to 35%. Matches up well to the rears.

Looking good.Does the tint affect visibility at night? Heat abortion in the day?
I thought about those rain guards for the windows, but do you find they add any noise when on the highway?

It can be a bit dark on a rainy dark morning backing out of my long tree lined driveway, but once on the road its fine. I cant see in the dark anyway. I haven't noticed any heat absorption, but than I live in the Pacific Northwest and extremely hot days are rare. There is no obtrusive additional noise from the windguards that I have noticed. I'm also deaf. How's that for a list of caveats? 😎
