Window shades for middle Row

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Anyone know of any tried/tested window shades for the middle row of a model Y?

We are getting a full roof shade from Amazon, but need a good window shade for a baby seat.

Tried one that hangs on the window, but it perturbed the weather seal and created a lot of road noise.
 
In my quest for the same product, I can across these Side window sunshades

Might take a while to get to you, but they go over your window, so it would cancel out the road noise
Cool concept, but I dont see those holding up in WA weather. Would like to keep the whole product on the interior. Either suction cup, or a flexible frame mesh specific to the Model Y windows.

Thanks for the link however!

I am using the following side widow shades when waiting at a supercharger on a sunny day.


Note: Because of the Tesla frame-less side windows, it is not possible to attach the shade to the window.
I have a Model 3, so I didn't tried the Model Y version, but the shades that I have fit perfectly when installed from inside the car.

The shades stay in place even if you open the windows with the door closed, however you have to be careful​
when you open the door because the shades don't stay attached to the door and could drop on the floor.​

I tried adding a little clip on the top to keep the sunshade attached to the window when opening the door,​
but when you open the door the window goes down a little bit and then the clip slides away.​
The best solution to keep the shades attached to the windows is to put a little rope horizontally all around the window.​
This is not a perfect solution, but I find it helpful, you can even drive and the rope outside will not get affected by the wind.​
But every time you open the door the rope move a little bit, so after a while you need to readjust the rope.​
Those side window shades are easy to install and this is a simpler solution than tinting your windows.
