Power Rear Sunshade + Tint?

RickMonet · 09-04-2014, 05:29 PM

Currently I have the Power Rear Sunshade option included in my build.

I am planning to have the car tinted as well - but with light tint, mostly for solar heat reduction (3M Crystalline).

Does the addition of the Power Rear Sunshade make applying the tint on rear window more difficult? Can shops handle it without having to remove the sunshade or cause damage to it?

In my 5, I just put the shade down and didn't touch it for a day or so while the film was curing. I imagine it's the same. I'm having my M3 tinted on Saturday.

I don't think it impacts tint job at all. It is quite flush with the back deck.

Don't think any damage would be done. My car has the power sunshade and it's tinted in the rear.

This. And it doesn't touch the window when it comes out.

Should be fine

No problem at all in the M5. The shade doesn't touch the window at all.

The sun shade was not an issue when the installer tinted the rear glass in my M3. Yours should be fine IMO.

What tints are you guys using with the shade? If I go with a 25% tint, is there any point in having the shade?

Yes there is no point to shade with a good tint like Crystalline, Pinnacle, or CXP. I have 45% and looks and works fantastic but only works with a high end tint like above. the car stays cool and protected from Sunrays. The rear shade also jitters at highway speed and annoying. Save the money and use to pay for tint!

Glad to hear there is no problem tinting when having the Power Rear Sunshade option.

I don't like to tint the rear window very dark as it is too difficult to see through at night. So, light tint planned and rear sunshade up when car sitting in the hot sun.
