Yeah if you use windex on T-tops it might have an effect on them, but there is a better, safer cleaner, called Invisible Glass by Stoner, about $4.99, IMO better than windex, and made for car windows.

Exclamation Windex

Well windex does have an effect on tinted windows however becouse the factory tint on your T-tops are in the glass the windex will never touch the tint. as in all factory tint it is made with the glass and not put on afterwards this is why you cannot take off the factory tint... ask you local dealer.... however you do not want to use windex on any window on your car becouse if you spray it on any plastic or fabric by mistake it could also have long term effects just like the tint.....
