3M Crystalline/Windshield tinting

Has anyone used 3M Crystalline tint? Done the windshield? If so how'd it work - any issues with the light sensors near the mirror? Any other issues?

I have used formula one before, but not on the windshield. They are pretty freaking proud of the Crystalline so I want to see what others have experienced.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks! I guess I am going to shell out for it.
Atcdod - did you have it done in town at the Specialists?

Thanks for the reply. Why do your recommend Llumar over 3M Crystalline at your shop?

Anyone have pics. I am interested to see how well it adheres on the edges over the bumps on the glass.
