R2 Roof Sun Shade

[Thebandit]

That's why I put Spectra Photosync non-ceramic on my cars in Phx. I don't know if it heats up the glass. I hope not.

Ceramic tints are fine on side windows. They're not structural and have room to expand. Plus they're oriented vertically so they don't get direct exposure from overhead midday sun.

I have had ceramic tints on all my cars for years. I would absolutely not live in Phoenix without it.

In Denver you need a moon roof sun screen / shade. The car temp will be very high. Any after market product to buy?

I would check out makers of the same for the R1 vehicles and expect them to have something soon.

Ceramic films are just regular tints. You can get them as mostly clear if you want. But I have 70% on all my car windows and it's great at blocking heat.

The problem is that they work by absorbing heat. And by putting it on structural glass pointing straight up at the sun, the glass can get too hot and shatter. This has happened to multiple people. So ceramic tints are not really appropriate for roof glass.

Thanks, that makes sense. It seems like it needs to be a reflective tint to avoid heating the glass.
