Removing factory tint on glass roof

[UNCLETYS]

I was wondering if possible to have any/all the original factory tinting from the glass roof so I can buy the sun shades so on a nice day just open up the shades and basically have wa convertible without the wind in my (almost now non-existent) hair. Has anyone tried/succeeded this or if it’s even possible. Thinking the glass was moulded with the UV protectant etc in the glass itself, if it’s only ON the glass I should be able to gedder done.

PS - pic unrelated

TIA

Asks ridiculous question. Posts “unrelated” pic to advertise a silly infotainment hack.

The short answer to your question is Yes. I removed the tint. See picture below for how it ended up.

I'm no expert in these things man but I think that you might have over done it with the heat gun and ended up shrinking the S....

Pretty sure the tint is embedded into the glass.
Maybe in the future a third party might manufacturer tintless replacement panels, but for now I think you can only get from Tesla.

Yep, the film they use to laminate the two panes of glass contains the tint. It is not applied after production.
