Will Sound & Vision opacity protect my bald head?

[STLLTH]

Greetings! This summer I will be pulling the trigger on an R1T. For a long time, I was going to proceed with the Dual Standard option because I preferred the LFP battery technology. With Rivian discontinuing the trim and the issues that arose around calibration, I have decided to go with the Dual option instead.

With that trim, I might pop for the Sound & Vision package which might be nice to reduce the effects of the sun on my bald head. Any bald brothers out there have any insight on this option? Does the opacity make a difference? Is it worth it to you?

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

I’m bald in Hawaii and I have the Sound/Vision package. I can say that it works for me. If I didn’t get it I would have just tinted the roof panel like I did in my Taycan. To me it’s definitely works

Thank you! Great feedback.

Yeah, I’m a periodic Efudex (fluorouracil) user so I appreciate your insight. Is the cover easily removed?

I believe the cover would be easy to take on and off once you got used to the process. It did take a bit for the first time install so that is probably not a good measure. However, I never take it off. With my skin situation, I would probably install another cover even if I end up upgrading to a R1T with the opaque option. It would not be worth the risk for me. The cover fits really well with no gaps. I have never had a passenger ask about it.

I’ve had and R1S for 3 years, no issues at all for my bald head. Most of the time has been in sunny SoCal.

From my experience I would not make the sun exposure be part of the decision matrix.

Edit: Just to clarify, my R1S is the standard roof glass.
