The shade is a thin piece of cloth that doesn't block much heat. On a hot sunny day, put your hand on the shade, it's hot. Tint will block out a good portion of the heat making the interior more comfortable.
I like to keep the shade open to let in some light, but without tint it gets too bright and too hot. With tint, the amount of light coming in is just right and the heat reduction is significant.
The tint shop I've been going to for the past 10 years says most of their customers get sunroof tinted. Some choose a 70 or 80% tinit which is basically clear and so it's whole purpose is to block out heat.
In the past I tint my roof with 5%, but this time I didn't not want to lose the effect of the sky lounge led's so went with a lighter tint.
