Isn't that why they gave you shades for the t-tops too... to block out the sun if you want.

I have 5% all around and on the t-tops, I feel like a drug dealer sometimes. Something to keep in mind is your t-tops will be darker than the rest of your glass because it's already tinted.

Got two layers of 5% tint on my t-tops... love it! You really can't tell they are letting any light in at all until you look up. The sun just looks like a white circle sitting in the sky.. lol. I always hated having to deal with the velcro sunshades so I felt like this was a good fix.
