Tinting a Sunroof on a Model Y: Everything You Need to Know

The Tesla Model Y
is a fantastic car that is known for its sleek design, advanced features, and incredible performance. One of the most notable features of the Model Y is its panoramic sunroof, which provides an incredible view of the sky while driving. However, the sunroof can let in a lot of sunlight, making the cabin hot and uncomfortable.

This is where tinting comes in.

Tinting your Model Y's sunroof can not only improve the look of your car but also help reduce the heat and glare inside the cabin.
In this blog post, we'll discuss everything you need to know about tinting a sunroof on a Model Y.



Why Tint Your Sunroof?
There are several reasons
why you may want to tint your Model Y's sunroof. First and foremost, tinting can reduce the amount of sunlight that enters the cabin, making it more comfortable for you and your passengers. This is especially important if you live in a hot climate or frequently travel in bright sunlight.

Additionally, tinting can improve the look of your car. It gives your Model Y a sleek, modern look that can make it stand out on the road. Furthermore, tinting can also help protect your car's interior from fading or cracking due to sun damage.



Types of Sunroof Tint

There are several different types of tint that you can choose from when tinting your Model Y's sunroof. Here are some of the most common options:
  1. Dyed Tint - This is the most common type of tint and is made by applying a layer of dyed film to the sunroof. This type of tint is affordable and effective at reducing heat and glare.
  2. Carbon Tint - Carbon tint is made by adding carbon particles to the film, making it more durable and effective at blocking heat and UV rays.
  3. Ceramic Tint - Ceramic tint is the most advanced type of tint and is made by applying a layer of ceramic particles to the film. This type of tint is incredibly effective at blocking heat and UV rays, and it also looks great.


Choosing the Right Tint
We offer three lines of Ceramic tint for this particular sunroof. Ceramic IR, Advanced Nano Ceramic, and Diamond IR. All very high performing films that block out 99% UV and varying levels of IR from 59%-97%.



Installation Process

Tinting a sunroof on a Model Y is a relatively straightforward process. However, it's essential to have a professional do the installation to ensure that it is done correctly.

The first step in the installation process is to clean the sunroof thoroughly. Any dirt or debris on the glass can cause bubbles or imperfections in the tint. Next, the installer will shrink the tint to the sunroof, carefully smoothing out any bubbles or wrinkles. Finally, the installer will trim the edges of the tint film to ensure a perfect fit.
