I was thinking about getting a clear, to little, tint on the pano moonroof to add some UV protection for the inside as I don't have a garage. If it's laminated though, my understanding is that these block damaging UV rays so a tint for that purpose may be useless? Same for the windshield.

Thoughts?

Look for the block of writing on some section of the glass.

There is a thread on windshield tinting that got sidetracked. Someone pointed out the writing on the windshield and side windows showing it was tinted to 70% VLT, then proven with a UV exposure card.

I can also attest to the UV blocking on the front just anecdotally. I tan noticeably on a 1 hour lunch bike ride, but 3 days of 10 hours of driving and my left arm was the same color as my right. When I used to commute to work in a much older car, by left arm was always noticeably darker

Interestingly, the front L/R windows are labeled as "acoustic laminated", and the rear L/R as just tempered. Moonroof was labeled tempered as well.
