The mission is to make the best-fitting, most durable, and most effective sunshades available. Sunshades uses a reflective, strong (but flexible) material that is ideal for use as a sunshade. And, Sunshades consistently performs thorough quality control testing to ensure effectiveness.

Stay Cool

25°F cooler on average. The reflective material in the Sunshades are responsible for dramatic temperature differences in cars parked in the sun. Temperature differences of as much as 40˚F (25˚C) have been measured but you should experience a baseline average temperature reduction of about 25˚F (11˚C).

Custom Fit

Fits like a glove. Sunshades are all about accuracy. Its computer-driven cutting machines are capable of producing a precise fit for the Model S. Sunshades are also designed to slightly overlap the windshield frame to maximize coverage and/or to allow the sun visors to have more material to hold on to.

Durable

Strong and Simple. Sunshades are stiff enough to be supported by the sun visors alone, but flexible enough to be bent around the rearview mirror. Unroll the Front Windshield Sunshade across the dash, lift it into place, and drop your sun visors. For storage, roll up and secure with special Velcro strap.

Specifications

For the Tesla Model S custom Sunshades, the design approach is focused on accuracy, precision, and fitment. Computer-driven cutting machines are utilized to produce precise, consistent fitment for every Model S owner that orders. Sunshades are simple to use but they are just as easy to store. Less than 3/16” thick yet stiff enough to stand on their own, they lay flat or roll up for easy storage. They roll up with a velcro tie when not in use.

FAQ

What materials are used to make Sunshades?

Sunshades are made of a special gold/silver metalized polyester film, laminated to a thin layer of closed-cell foam, with a black polyester film back (for blackout extra cooling effect) sewn around the edge with a black cloth binding. This laminate is sturdy, light, and reflective, and it has excellent insulating properties to protect your interior and keep your car cool.

How are Sunshades made?

Sunshades are custom cut using the latest in computer-aided cutting technology. Then, they are sewn around the edge with a black cloth binding.

In order to fit properly, Sunshades must be bent around my rearview mirror. Will this harm my Sunshades?

Bending your Sunshades to fit around your mirror is all a part of the simple installation process. Sunshades are designed to fit around the rearview mirror in order to block out as much sunlight as possible.

Which side faces out, the black side or the shiny, reflective side?

The shiny, reflective gold side faces out.

Does the Sunshade block UV rays?

The Sunshades material is designed to reflect the sun away and it does keep harmful UV rays from penetrating and damaging the dashboard, electronics, upholstery and can keep your Model S up to 40 percent cooler.

How should I store my Sunshades?

We suggest you store the Sunshades rolled up—NOT folded. Folding the Sunshade could compromise the integrity of the material and may cause premature wear.

Do you have patterns for side and rear window Sunshades?

Yes, we have side and rear window patterns for the Model S. Simply select from the pull-down menu (above the orange "Add to Cart" button) which specific sunshade you'd like to order or simply choose the complete sunshade set. 

Is there a pattern for the panoramic roof?

Yes, there is a pattern for the panoramic "sun" roof that comes in two pieces to cover both the front seat and back seat areas. You can order it in the pull-down menu. NOTE: this comes as a two-piece set (covering both parts, front and back, of the panoramic roof); you cannot order just one of the two pieces. Also, you can order a complete set with or without the panoramic roof as labeled in the pull-down menu when ordering.

What is the recommended way to get the suction cups on sunshades to best affix to the windows?

It can help to install the suction cups with the doors closed or to hold the door while installing to make a solid connection. We've heard of customers wetting the suction cups for better suction. Also, try to press directly behind the suction cup in order to get a firm grip/suction on the window too.

My sunshades are curled up a bit, is there a way to get them to flatten a bit?

You might want to roll the sunshades in the opposite direction (black side out) if they have been rolled up for a while. This will help to flatten out the sunshades and make them easier to install and fit better against the windows. Storing them rolled backward every once in a while will also help with this. 

I'd like to order a unique combination of sunshades not offered in the pull-down menu above, what do I do?

Simply select the individual sunshade option you'd like and select the "Add to Cart" button.  Next, you'll be able to view your shopping cart to confirm your selection. Then, simply go back to shopping on the same HeatShield product page and select the other(s) and "Add to Cart" - now you'll see the combination you desire waiting in your shopping cart.  Proceed and follow the prompts to place your order.

"We all love the ability to cool down our Model S using the smartphone app. Temperatures in closed cars left in a parking lot on a hot day can easily exceed 100° F. Whenever possible I try to find a shady place or a parking ramp to keep things a little cooler. Another way to help control the temperature is to use windshield reflectors also known as sunshades... The Heatshield sunshade is custom-cut for your Tesla Model S making it a near perfect fit. The material on both sides of the product was smooth and even. They have a nice stiffness to them that allows you to bend them into place for maximum coverage. 

I recently tested the Tesla Model S custom HeatShield Sunshade. I positioned my Model S in the driveway under a bright, cloudless, southern sky just before noon. The outside temperature was 78° F, which turned out to be the high for the day. The temperature inside my Model S was 74°F when I installed the heat shields. I used my iPhone app to check the interior temperature at various times with the reflectors installed and with them not installed. Here are the results...

Here is what happened to the inside temperature when I removed the shades. Keep in mind the car was not repositioned, the outside temperature remained a constant 78°F and the sky remained cloudless. After removing the reflectors, the temperature soared to over 90°F in less than sixty minutes. The heat shields kept my Model S significantly cooler.

Overall there ended up being a 14° before and after difference. That doesn’t sound like much, but the experience of entering a car that’s 83°F vs. 97°F is drastic. My sunglasses did not fog up when the shields were installed, but instantly did so at the higher temperature. Keeping the car cooler means you will use less battery when you do turn on the AC, which will help with range.

On a hot and sunny day these babies will definitely keep your car cooler..."
