Glass Ceiling Treatment?

[Zoidz]

That's why we need to put an end to thie fears that tinting films are going to cause glass to shatter. It's not like millions of cars haven't already been treated, and if they were causing such damage, they would be sued out of business. I'm sure there's various qualities of film and one would be smart to do their due diligence to fine high-quality stuff the installer is willing to guarantee it will work as advertised.

Let me first say I have no specific position on this issue, pro or con.

There is at least one mitigating factor that underlies this concern specific to Rivian - the thickness and quality of the glass roof. There have been more than a few reports of people applying minimal hand pressure to the glass while washing or loading the roof rack and the glass cracking. I've never heard of that happening once since sunroofs/moonroofs came out years ago. Yet it has happened numerous times on Rivians as reported here and on reddit. So, comparing it to the other millions of problem free installations isn't a conclusive comparison.

And then there's Kim Java, lol.

It’s interesting that Rivian offers tint and paint protection thru Xpel on their website AND the is an option to choose tint for the sunroof.

I’m not buying the statement that tinting the glass may lead to it cracking. **Just my opinion**

It is interesting though that, despite offering it, there are many reports of customers being told by Xpel installers that they don't recommend it.
