T-Top Tint
This may sound kind of dumb, but can you tint T-Tops? I was informed by someone that you cant do it because the glass is tempered and will trap heat and shatter your T-Top. Is there any truth in this? I have been looking around a little and I cant seem to find anyone with tinted T-Tops either...

are you kidding me? trap enough heat to shatter a T-top? tempered glass is stronger than regular glass. tint away
edit: i dont think you can tint acrylic glass. but cars dont have acrylic glass

It did seem kinda weird to me when I heard it though. I didnt understand how that would make them un-tintable. Thanks for the help though!

YES you can tint t-tops. I've got mine tinted at 5% too, just because the sunlight was beaming in from the top and not the sides anymore after I got the sides tinted.
Do it.
Do it.
