THE SPF OF THE PANORAMIC ROOF IS MUCH HIGHER THAN THE REST OF THE UNTREATED WINDOWS IN YOUR CAR!
IF YOU ARE SO WORRIED TRY THE SUN SHADE.. IT REDUCES THE UV EXPOSURE BY AT LEAST 2X....LOL

Direct your question to Bayer MaterialScience AG who make the polycarbonate panel.

Ian, have you been to their site? Wow, who to email? Seems more and more, web sites purposefully bury email contact addresses if they give them at all. I have posed the question to smartusa I think they should be able to help out.

Just an update for those following. There is no update. I've not yet heard back from smartUSA. I'll let you know if something comes my way.

Don't know, but I cover my sunroof screen with a product from Car Smart Systems that you can get from your Smart Center that blocks the sun and the screen still rolls back.

Sadly smartusa did not reply to my email. I can only say if you are really worried about the exposure. Put on a baseball hat to cover your head. Use the same care you would if you plan on being outside for an extended period.
