Sunroofs are among the most sought-after features in modern cars, offering a sense of openness and luxury that transforms every drive. A sunroof can turn your car into a mobile observatory. But with great features come great responsibility, especially in India, where the sun is relentless and roads can be unpredictable.
Your sunroof is exposed to harsh sunlight, UV rays, flying debris and the risk of scratches or chips. Over time, these can affect not just your comfort but also the value and safety of your vehicle. This is where sunroof films come in, providing a protective barrier that keeps your car cooler, safer and looking its best for years.
In this ultimate guide, we’ll explore the benefits of sunroof films, the different types available, why Aegis Sunroof Protection Film stands out and what you can expect during installation. Whether you’re a first-time car owner or a seasoned enthusiast, this guide will help you make an informed decision to protect your investment.

Why Protect Your Sunroof?
Sunroofs, especially those made of glass, are more than just a stylish addition; they’re a potential weak point in your car’s defence against the elements. Here’s why protecting your sunroof is essential:
Harsh Sunlight and UV Exposure: In India, the sun can be brutal. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin damage, fade your car’s interior and even weaken the glass over time.
Heat Build-Up: Without proper protection, your sunroof can turn your car into a greenhouse, making it uncomfortably hot and increasing reliance on air conditioning.
Physical Damage: Flying stones, debris and even accidental scratches can mar your sunroof’s surface, leading to costly repairs or replacements.
Leaks and Long-Term Damage: Over time, wear and tear can compromise the seals around your sunroof, leading to leaks and water damage.
Protecting your sunroof isn’t just about comfort, it’s about preserving your car’s value and ensuring a safer, more enjoyable driving experience.
Common Myths About Sunroof Protection
Before diving into the benefits, let’s clear up some common misconceptions:
Myth 1: Factory-tinted or shaded glass is enough to protect my sunroof.
Fact: Most factory glass offers minimal heat and UV protection. It’s not designed to withstand physical impacts or long-term exposure.
Myth 2: Sunroof films will make my car too dark or affect its appearance.
Fact: Modern films, especially Aegis Sunroof PPF, are virtually invisible and maintain the natural look of your glass.
Myth 3: Installing a sunroof film is complicated and risky.
Fact: With expert installation from CarzSpa, the process is safe, quick and hassle-free.
Benefits of Sunroof Films
Superior UV & Heat Protection
Sunroof films block up to 99% of harmful UV rays, protecting your skin and preventing your car’s interior from fading. They also reject a significant amount of infrared heat. Aegis Sunroof PPF, for example, offers up to 93% infrared rejection, keeping your cabin noticeably cooler.
Impenetrable Physical Protection
Aegis Sunroof PPF is made from premium TPU, the same material used in high-end paint protection films. It shields your sunroof from rock chips, scratches and other abrasions, ensuring your glass stays clear and damage-free.
