Default Rear Window tint with rear sunshade?

I am ordering an S4 with the optional rear sunshade and am not sure about whether to have the rear window tinted too. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks,

Neil

I would say both. Have both on mine. On really hot days the heat coming through even a tinted back window can cause the back panel area to heat up and rattle. When I put the rear screen up along with the tint it never happens.

Get it tinted. It'll look weird if you have the side windows tinted but not the back.
