Hey, everyone! I'm waiting on my Model X LR+ and I am wondering if anyone has installed UV protection clear tint on the massive front windshield. If you haven't, do you wish you had it? I worry about the rays and heat coming through that big of a window. Thanks!

still debating, in the mean time, I use the front windshield sunshade that comes with the X.

What bothers me the most is the sun comes into driver and/or passenger front windows (even with tint) where the visor in X is lame and useless because it can not be used to block the sun like the traditional visor.

How could the sun come in even with tint? I plant to get UV blocking tint.

I have Photosync on my front windshield and I honestly don't know how other X others live without some sort of tint on the front windshield, especially somewhere as hot as Houston. Highly, highly recommended and a must.

If your windshield has a film installed, how do you handle the annual registration stickers?

I’m unfamiliar with how DMV tags are in TX but if you must have one inside tinted glass, use a piece of transparency (to the younger ones its a film used on overhead projectors). Transparency film is cheap office supplies and won’t warp in heat so your tags will not wrinkle. Stick the tag to the film, cut to shape, then just use a bit of regular 3M office tape (1/4” overlap should do it).

I use this for parking stickers so I can move it from car to car
