Even with perforated shade piece closed too much sunlight enters and interior gets hot. Any remedies to prevent sunlight from coming thru and into cabin?

 

You'll have to find a way to put some heat reflective insulation between the glass and the rear screen. maybe something that has adhesion strips as well. Window rain visors will also allow you to leave one window slightly open to let air circulate.

 

I had both of my sunroof windows tinted by a mobile tinting service that came to my home. In 2012, it cost me $150. Glad I did it.

 

Are they not already deeply tinted from the factory? I bought my 2008 used but it's stock AFAIK with a heavy tint on the sunroof glass.

 

I bought my 2008 new from the dealer. The sunroofs were tinted, but not deeply. I had difficulty reading the dash stereo display with the bright sunlight beaming in from above.

To the extent the LR design was influenced by the British, their cloudy weather may not have warranted deep tinting (just speculating).

 

Just for context, I assume your rear window tint is pretty opaque from the outside? And your panoramic roof tints are the same?
Reason why I am asking, I've not noticed extreme heat in the vehicle but I have weathertech window in-channel strips which I use to vent heat in the summer. The likely make up all the difference in the summer then?

 

Yes, the rear and side windows are well tinted from the factory and opaque from the outside. In CA, the law prohibits dark tinting of the front side windows and windshield, last time I checked.

I don't recall if the roof tints were the tinted to the same degree as the side/rear windows. But to get effective blocking from the direct sunlight above, I had a deep tinting applied for the roof windows. Still allows light into the interior, but takes the edge off the piercing brightness. After I got it done, I recall thinking I wish I had it done sooner.

 

I wear a large floppy hat on road trips. Wife's daily driver, not mine, otherwise I would have tinted it real dark.

 

Does that floppy hat have an LR part #?

 

Head to a local window tinting shop and pick the shade you want.
