Canopy Pros Cons

[Mr_rhythm]

This is another things I’m waffling on a little bit (Pure with metal or upgrade to get glass). Living in Atlanta I’d definitely plan on tinting the whole roof with a clear ceramic. After reading HMP(?)’s description about riding through the mountains and enjoying the view resonated re: a lot of the drives we take.

Why wouldn’t you be able to find insurance?

Progressive is dropping me at the end of the term for too many windshield claims (remember I also have a jeep). Since I believe other insurance companies have access to that info, if I file another claim it would be even more difficult to find affordable insurance or so my broker tells me.

On our last two cars, I paid GM and Mercedes for their windshield warranty. It was the cost of one replacement.

Maybe Lucid will offer extended warranties at some point.

I think the glass roof vs. no glass roof is something that you either like or don't. I don't like them, and have rented a few cars with them that made me realize they weren't for me. But the AGT came with it. I cursed and figured that the blackest tint I could get would be fine. It is tolerable but I really wish that there was a retractable interior cloth cover like some of the Mercedes SUV's that I had rented with glass canopies. I had HuperOptik i3 ceramic tint installed, and the darkest is about 70% light rejection and 93-99 % IR/UV rejection. It is a vast improvement over not applying the tint but I wish they had a 90% visible light rejection. My 2 teenagers wish I didn't put in the tint and liked the backseat view the way it was, so different strokes for different folks. I think if you know you don't like a glass roof don't waste the money {and then extra money adding tint}, get a metal roof you'll be happy. If you've never tried a glass roof, rent a car for a day that has one. Doesn't matter which brand, the experience of a glass roof will be known to you quickly.

I had a Lucid for 5 days in summer May Phoenix it was hot as eff. It was okay the glass roof but I always think it’s a nice to have not must have. And if it improves ac cooling to go metal I value that more.

I just had all of the glass tinted with the ceramic tint and has reduced the heat 80%. Prior to the tinting I could not cool the car off. I am in AZ and it was 108 degrees!!

Thanks. Would you tell us which windows you had tinted with which product at which light level? Yours is a result worth replicating.

The windshield was 80% and the rest of windows was 55%. I am not very savvy regarding the percentages, however that is what XPel Windoe Tint told me.

Hopefully we can soon see and sit in a metal roof touring in one of the showrooms. If anyone can take pictures and post, that would be nice.
I noticed you can now see simulated pictures of the metal at the on-line configurator site. I especially am interested if the sun-visors function differently in the metal....seem a tad wonky in the canopy.
