Tint the front man to match everything.

What are those huge, obnoxious stickers on the driver's side front windshield?

I’m really on the fence about doing this since my dealer said they did it to one SQ5 and it chipped off almost right away.

do you live in a climate with snow?

Yes i live in canada on the east coast.
For the windows and roof bars îm not really concerned. Weather itself should not do any harm. The 3m stickers i aleeady have on my bumper etc is fine.
but yes... the grey parts below the doors might be an issue because of the dust/sand. On top of the black vinyl, they added a 3M clear sticker like the ones they put on the hood. I ´ll see.. i really wanted the sides to be black. Maybe i’ll need to do it over again in 3 years (door bottom)

Snow should not be an issue. There's probably buildings/cars with vinyl materials on them more than you notice, such as commercial wraps on buses/trucks/building windows/etc. Vinyl is not going to chip, unless something sharp physically cuts a section of it out. Chipping is more of a property for brittle materials, such as paint, etc.
