Default Sunroof tint

I don't remember from the test drive but is there tint on the sunroof? Anyone tinted it? Thinking about putting 5% on it to make it darker inside.

FYI-Glass does expand and contract according to temperature. Tint reduces expansion and contraction. Therefore you run the risk of having your sunroof shatter.

At the tint material will keep all the glass together in a sheet.

I am thinking about doing mine as well. My car is too dark with it closed with 20% all around and the sun is too bright when i have the cover open It's blinding. I wish we had a shade like the mini cooper.
