Model X Glass Roof Sunshade

[solardudesf]

We are upgrading from a 2018 Model X to a 2023 Model X. We have a Tesla-made glass roof sunshade for the 2018 Model X. Will that fit in the 2023 Model X? I see Tesla has a newer one that says it fits in the 2021+ Model X but was curious if anyone tried it.

no it doesn't fit. I had a 18 and now a 22, and now I have a useless sunshade as it doesn't fit the new windshield.

Was in the same boat. Needed one for my 22X. Found one on Amazon. Not perfect, but good enough. Google it. Was inexpensive enough to give it a try.

I had 3D Maxpiders from our 2018 Model X. That was a 5-seater same as our 2023. Those are not a perfect fit but they are okay. The rear fits nicer than the two fronts. The frunk is a totally different shape so that one doesn’t fit at all.

We also had a covercraft sunshade. That doesn’t seem to fit too well. Seems too heavy for the magnets on the Tesla Model X visors. Looks like covercraft doesn’t make sunshades for the refresh yet.

Okay we ended up getting the new Model X Sunshade.

I am guessing I am the only one who had trouble installing this thing? I have two clips in (pointing at the rear seats), one clip on each side going into the trim over the visors, and the Tesla logo on the drivers side facing out at the driver. My issue is that the “U” shape does nor fit very well over the mirror. It’s extremely tight (does not fit snugly around the mirror housing and I have seen the magnets from the visors pull it off. Anyone else have issues with this thing and maybe a tip on what they did? Thanks.

Hi, not sure if it would make a difference, but the installation instructions say to have the Tesla logo on the lower RIGHT side, the picture on their site shows it on the lower LEFT, it may make a difference, my model X has not come in yet so I cannot try it myself. If you try it that way and it works better, please let me know so I can try it when mine comes in.

Hi Guys,

I have 3 of these now from different vendors, including Tesla,
and they all fit poorly...
It does not matter whether the Tesla tag is on the right or the left
as the part is symmetric.
The poor fit area is around the triple camera housing...
When it is fit per instructions, the metal hoop or structure
interferes with the magnetic visors attaching to the triple
camera housing.

There is another thread where someone actually broke the windshield
with the magnetic visor while using one of these sun shades.
Please be careful...

One of the aftermarket suppliers has a shade that fits better.
It is "shorter" and does not tangle with the magnetic visors.
I did use a small piece of very small gauge bare wire to fit between
the conduit and the top glass. The ends of the wire were wrapped
around the metal hoop to prevent the front from falling into
my face...

Good luck,

Shawn

Thanks. Can you share which aftermarket supplier version has the better fit?

Hi @solardudesf ,

This is very strange.
I bought from WooEv, RPMTesla, and Tesla.
The ones from WooEv were the ones that work.
They have changed their name to Linerx.
They no longer show the sun shade for Model X...

Their shade does not have a cut out for the triple camera.
It stops short of the camera. I used fine wire to suspend the shade
from the housing of the triple camera.

Googling: Sunshades for Tesla Model X
There is one by Talsem that looks Ok.
I prefer a sun shade that does not surround or touch
the triple camera housing.
As I mentioned before, a few have BROKEN their windshields
with the combination of the sun shade around the triple camera
housing and putting the sun visors into position...
Yikes!

Good luck,

Shawn

Just received the new shade from Tesla fits nicely around the cabin camera module. I was able to use my old 2020 X shade but it covered the camera and would fail FSD checks at night which was bizarre since it worked during the day.

I bought 4 different windshield shades for my 23MX including the official Tealsa one and hands down best one i found is Joauwa one.

Tesla is perorated and still lets in lot of the sun in and you can't fully extend the visors without using excessive s pressure to the point where it feels like it's too much stress on the visors.
Jowua has a reflective side facing out and solid pattern on bottom, no light comes in at all! and it comes with clips that stay mounted on the pillars so no need to unclip them when you want to put the shade away.
If you use Every day Chris's code you get like 10% off but you will have watch one of his accessories videos to get it.

Adding pictures for reference:

I just purchased the Jowua version based on the above. For me, the Jowua totally sucks. Our trim is not very tight and the clips are pretty crummy, so they do not hold the shade up very well. In addition, the front sags a LOT. First world problems, I know, but have not found one I like so far. The Tesla one does not fit well around the camera housing and the Jowua one does not stay in place very well and sags badly in the front. I think I may try to hold it up with the fine wire as suggested. Does anyone have a photo of where to attach the wire? I am clueless as to where that should go. Is there just a better shade out there that just works nicely out of the box? Sigh.
