3. Main Functions

  • Strong Light Blocking: The sun visor can be flexibly adjusted to block strong light from the front and sides, preventing direct sunlight from affecting the driver's vision and reducing glare. This enhances driving safety, especially for Tesla's panoramic windshield, by mitigating vision blind spots.
  • Sun Protection and Heat Insulation: The double-layer silver-plated fabric effectively blocks 99% of ultraviolet (UV) rays and 80% of infrared (IR) rays. This protects occupants from sunburn and significantly reduces the interior temperature. For example, it can lower the internal temperature by approximately 8°C after one hour of exposure at noon, thereby reducing air conditioning energy consumption.
  • Safety and Compliance: Made from flame-retardant and environmentally friendly ABS material, the product complies with automotive interior combustion safety standards. It is odorless and free from harmful volatile substances, ensuring no toxic gases are emitted during use. The rotatable design prevents complete obstruction of left and right vision, minimizing the risk of traffic accidents.
  • Flexible Adaptation: The front sun visor can be rotated to adapt to various sunlight angles. The sunroof sun visor features a detachable design for easy installation and removal, balancing the need for shade with the desire for an open view, allowing for "sunshade during the day and scenery viewing at night."
  • Durable and Easy to Clean: The fabric is wear-resistant, stain-resistant, and resistant to aging. The matte surface treatment prevents light reflection. It can be easily cleaned with a soft cloth, ensuring long-term use without issues like fabric detachment or shaft jamming.

4. Setup Instructions

Professional installation by Tesla-authorized maintenance personnel or professional installers is recommended.

  1. Preparation: Before installation, turn off the vehicle's main power supply. Clean any dust and debris from the sun visor installation area on the roof interior.
  2. Inspection: Verify that the rotating shaft hole is not deformed or loose. Confirm that the sun visor model is compatible with your vehicle model and the intended installation position (driver/passenger/sunroof).
  3. Front Sun Visor Installation: Align the front sun visor with the rotating shaft hole. Gently push it in and rotate to secure it. Ensure the rotating shaft moves smoothly without jamming.
  4. Sunroof Sun Visor Installation: Align the sunroof sun visor with the installation slot inside the sunroof. Gently press to engage and complete the installation.
  5. Post-Installation Check: After installation, test the adjustment and opening/closing functions of the sun visor. Ensure smooth angle adjustment, firm fixation, no looseness, no abnormal noise, and no obstruction to driving vision.

5. Operating Instructions

  • Adjusting the Sun Visor: When adjusting the sun visor, avoid pulling the rotating shaft or fabric too forcefully to prevent damage.
  • Blocking Strong Light: To block strong light, adjust the sun visor's angle. If necessary, use polarized sunglasses in conjunction with the sun visor to further reduce glare and vision blind spots. Avoid completely turning down the front sun visor if it obstructs your view.
  • Parking: For long-term parking, especially in sunny conditions, install the sunroof sun visor to reduce sun exposure inside the vehicle and help maintain a cooler interior.

6. Maintenance

  • Regular Inspection: Inspect the sun visor every 3000 kilometers. Check for any looseness or sticking of the rotating shaft, fabric detachment or damage, firm fixing buckle, and deformation of the sunroof sun visor slot. Ensure all functions operate normally.
  • Cleaning and Protection: Regularly wipe the surface and fabric of the sun visor with a soft cloth to remove dust and stains. Avoid prolonged contact with corrosive substances (e.g., car wash fluid, oil stains) to prevent fabric aging and discoloration. If cleaning the detachable sunroof sun visor, ensure it is completely dry before reinstallation to prevent mold growth.

7. Troubleshooting

Fault PhenomenonSimple Troubleshooting Method
Sun visor shaft stuck, unable to adjustCheck for debris jamming the rotating shaft; clean and gently rotate to adjust. If the shaft is loose or worn, apply a small amount of special lubricating grease. If it cannot be repaired, replace the original rotating shaft or sun visor.
