As a car owner, you likely enjoy having a sunroof in your vehicle. It provides a great way to enjoy the sunshine and fresh air while driving. Unfortunately, there are some downfalls that come along with having a sunroof, some of which, being in the extreme climate of Florida, include exposure to harmful UV and IR rays and excessive heat buildup inside the vehicle. This is where tinting your sunroof with clear ceramic film can be beneficial!

As you read in recent posts, XPEL’s XR70% is a great way to reduce the amount of heat coming through the glass without altering appearance of the vehicle. This applies to the sunroof as well! Just like the privacy glass on most trucks and SUVs, the sunroof glass is darkened by a pigmentation being put into the glass when forming the pane. This results in a darker than normal piece of glass, cutting glare, but not really much heat.

One of the primary benefits of clear ceramic film is its ability to protect you from the harmful effects of the sun. UV and IR rays can cause skin damage, premature aging, and even skin cancer. By applying clear ceramic film to your sunroof, you can block out up to 99% of harmful UV rays, keeping you and your passengers safe and comfortable while driving! Since the film is clear in appearance, once applied, sunlight is still able to penetrate the glass just the same, but the amount of heat coming through is drastically reduced!

If you have a sunroof or a full size moonroof on your vehicle and find that you want to utilize it to its fullest potential, its definitely something worth considering!
