Default Question regarding tint

Been wanting to ask this question for a long time now, will the rear sunshade damage window tint??

I think there are 2 wheels that might use the window as a guide?

If you look closely, it does touch the windows. But there is no way it will damage the tint film whatsoever.

at first i wanted the luxury package because of the illuminating door sills and rear sunshade... when they transferred my car from another dealer the 3m tint was already installed 35% told me it was in process for a sale but being that the other guy backed out it comes with tint.... i was going to tell them "Yeah? well take it off?" but when it came it looked good with it on so i left it

but anyway... i'm a gadgets guy i just like it when i have it up and put it into reverse it automatically retracts down for me

It's still very useful even with tint. Especially at night with those cars with totally messed up headlights, or those guys with lifted trucks riding your ****, thinking they are more aerodynamic then you are.
