It is very common to see people driving with windows tinted. However, nowadays more people are getting their sunroofs tinted as well. Not only does this enhance your vehicle's appearance, but a tinted sunroof helps keep your vehicle temperature even more cooler by blocking out the sun.
Instructions:
1.
Choose the correct shade of tint for your sunroof. A tint (5 to 10 percent) is usually preferable by most people. This is dark enough to keep the interior of the car cool, but not so dark that it compromises your view of the sky or reduces too much light that comes through your roof.
2.
Purchase a window tinting kit from a local auto parts store or online. Most sites will sell kits customized just for your make/model/year of car as well as rolls of tint that you can cut to size yourself or have them cut for you.
3.
Clean the interior of the sunroof glass. Use mild soap, and 1 quarter of distilled water. Wipe it dry with paper towels or a lint-free cloth. Be sure to clean the glass two to three times with window cleaner before tinting.
4.
Wash your hands before touching the window tint film. Make sure that your hands are free from dirt, debris, lotion or any sort of other chemicals.
5.
Take a piece of the window tint film and lay it over the interior side of the sunroof to make sure its a good fit. If you don't have a pre-cut kit that includes a sunroof-sized section of window tint, you will need to outline the shape of your sunroof onto a larger sheet and carefully cut it out.
6.
Peel off the clear protective backing from the film, being very careful not to let the film fold back on itself as you do so.
7.
Spray the water solution on the backside of the sheet of tint as well as on the interior sunroof glass. Position the tint by lining it up with the top corners of the sunroof, then carefully smoothing it down across the rest of the sunroof.
8.
Use a squeegee to remove the solution and air bubbles from the film by starting in the center of the sunroof and slowly moving outward. Be sure to squeegee the entire sunroof glass.
9.
Cut any overlapping pieces with a sharp knife or razor blade. Use a ruler to ensure that you cut evenly.
10.
Allow the tint to cure by leaving your sunroof closed for at least three days. It's a good idea to leave your other windows closed during that time, as well. Park your car in the sun to make the drying process faster.
