Hello Aussie owners, I know there are threads about tinting sunroof on this forum but wanted to see specifically for Australian owners.

Has anyone successfully tinted their sunroof?

I was asking around for quotes (Sydney) and it seems most tinters refuse to tint the sunroofs due to risk of cracking, but I see some owners in the US have done this successfully.

Thanks

Risk of what cracking?

Honestly, you shouldn't need an installer to tint a sunroof. If you can put a screen protector on a phone without bubbles, you certainly can handle tinting a flat square sunroof.

I tried to have my side mirrors tinted to help with glare but nobody would do it.
Standard tint would come off quickly being exposed to the outside elements.

Back in the day I had some aftermarket side mirrors that had a blue tinted glass on them. I've found several companies that sell replacement glass for certain cars that have that blue tint on them. I'd buy them in a heartbeat for my Civic if I found them.

Isn't the sunroof pretinted? They told me it's privacy glass all round and you just get the driver an passenger windows tinted.
