Default Front window film - Any issues?

Anyone have experience with getting UV protection/ tint to front windows (driver's and passenger's side door windows) on a 1997 993?
Considering adding Llumar brand "ceramic" UV film with 70% light penetrance.
Curious if anyone has had difficulty with window up/down action after tint has been added, or any other issues.

Please note: NOT talking about the debate re: tinting front windows and if it looks good/awful on a 993...

I have UV/IR clear ceramic tint on my 993, on all windows, including windshield. It does a great job of keeping the heat out and protecting the interior without darkening the view outside. It's shown in my profile pic. I've had no issues whatsoever with the window up/down action.

Here in the UAE, nearly everybody (incl. most of our 993 fellows) has at least UV protection tint ...
No problem at all

same here, i've got STEK, another mfg. 70% windshield and 45% on all other windows. no issues at all. I will say went lighter than i expected on account the black leather interior made it look really dark and want to avoid meeting the local police that are itching for an autograph.
