Has anyone else noticed that the sunroof isn't that dark? It seems to let the sun shine in and burn your head....ouch! I'm thinking of tinting it, so it doesn't heat up the truck in the summer...anyone else do that yet?

Yep, I noticed. That is what the additional slider/cover is for . . . ;-)

Actually, I have been toying with the same idea, but I like it stock on cloudy days . . . especially when it rains.

Tinting sounds like a good idea, especially when you are riding around with the cover pushed back. But with the cover pulled forward while your H3 is parked should keep things cool.

I love the sun shining in thru the sunroof. If it gets too hot just wear a hat, that’s what I do.

The sunroof is great and the cover is almost always slid back rain or shine, it just makes the truck feel more open.

I think there is a tint out there that will darken on sunny days.....something new I heard about.....I'll check it out and see if my distributors have heard or seen it as of yet........it might be something to look into!

Here in the desert I only have to close the slider in the peak summer months. The rest of the time I leave the slider open. The glass already is tinted - have you felt the difference between it opened and closed? I don't want it darker as I like the light coming through. It's already in the 90s here - yesterday was the first day I closed the slider since September as I wheeled through a 95 degree hot and dusty desert.

It helps if you have a full head of hair.

I have thought about it, but it is already tinted some from the factory and I like the open feeling like has been said. Gets too hot, I just close the slider.

I'll probably leave mine alone....but just wanted your opinions.....
maybe my head is just sensitive to the sunlight.....I've always had sunroofs, but I notice the heat coming through this one more......maybe because it is soooo big!

Maybe it's because you are higher up

It's not a bad idea Solar, just depends on what you want. Put a piece of Window tint film on it that way if you don't like it you can just take it off.

I know for my Corvette they sell a static cling tint to darken the targa top / sunroof.  I wonder if they also sell one for other cars.  You can just attach or peel it away at will.
