I watched the video and immediately ordered this. It's perfect, comes up and goes off as easily as the front windshield shade. Tip: the center of where the two panels meet does sag a bit. Using two sided tape i stuck a magnet out of an old hard drive there and it works. The magnet being there in the center when the shade is off doesn't really bother me but it might for other folk.
I bought a 2023 MY LR in December 2023. I was looking for a easy to install roof shade for the summer months. Your video was helpful showing how easy it installs! 👍
I bought these based on this recommendation. I am not a 'handy' person, I have arthritis in my wrists and hands, and a shoulder injury that limits any overhead work. Nevertheless, I was able to install these myself in about 10 minutes. No rattles, no shifting. I couldn't be happier.
Gonna order mine tonight !
I've been on the hunt for a quick-install option that isn’t magnetic, and the only one I found that fits the bill is JOWUA. While the Otrifowd's magnet idea is cool, I feel more secure with JOWUA’s lock-no worries about the sunshade dropping while driving.
If you’re like me and want something that stays put, you might want to go for the lock one. I've been using mine for months, and it’s never fallen once! Just sharing. 😎
Magnets make it so much better! I’ve been using the retractable roof shade from Hansshow for a while now and really like it. Not a cheap option by any means, but I never need to remove, just retract it.
A clever introduction to a well-worn topic. Watched the entire review, well done and concise. I'm in the South and still thinking about one of these, but my first summer was tolerable without it. Broke down and got the windshield shade last year. Need to give this serious consideration since my MYLR inside temps reached 130 degrees on some days last year even with the windshield shade.
Thanks. So much better than the one I bought a few weeks ago. Darn! Wish I would have seen this video before buying the old style.
Easy install, cools car drastically thus saving money. Matches interior light gray, warms car in winter-acts as insulation.
LOVE THE BETA MAX seat covers!~
Seems like the best on/off option out there.
How does the shades stand up to driving with the windows down?
Is it gonna fit on model S if not is there a similar model for model S??
I finally got around to it this weekend and it took me all of 10 minutes to install. Looks great works perfect.
I bought one and gave your code.
The shade was easy to install.
A couple of problems. The company sent me two about a week apart.
They said I ordered two. I blame that on their website.
They required I send it back on my own dime. Actually $15 to SoCal.
The company is in Hong Kong. The credit card charged there. Very difficult people to deal with.
The clips don't actually slide in. One installing trick is to use a putty knife to slightly pry the roof trim back. Then install is fast and easy. No damage.
The only real downside is if you roll the window down at low speed the rear shade is going to fly off.
Drive a little faster both shades will fly off.
Would I buy again? No.
Was not really in the market but your video convinced me. BTW I really enjoy your everyday style videos.
Glad you like them!
Thank you for this review. I just was about to order a sunshade for my 24Y You reviewed before.
Just to watch your new review and saw the new updates with the magnets personally I think this will be a lot better. I just ordered one and will be here Tuesday. Thanks again. Have a great holiday.
I just got a roof shade last week. Would have good to see this one before I got mine. But it’s not something I expect to use much but it will be my first summer with the y.
This roof shade is awesome, so quick to take on and off. Only downside is that it can't handle the windows being down more than like 25mph, but it's not a big deal to me because if it's a windows down kind of day then it's also a window shade down kind of day.
that sucks if true
I want to see the comparison between this and JOWUA, mine got jowua and it works well too, they used special clip installed once. not a magnet so I feel safe when driving. not sure how strong this magnet is. might be cool to test it out!
Nice, I like how quick it is. Magnets seem pretty unobtrusive too.
Thanks for the video when I get my Tesla I will most definitely get this product
I like this one. I have the one from Vion which I just leave installed. This would actually make me take it out after summer. Thanks.
I picked one up for a ‘23 Y. Install was just as easy as shown - though my seam doesn’t butt, it overlaps about 1 inch. I don’t care for glass roofs at all and will leave this in always as I am in Florida.
Hey dano, I'm in Hawaii and it's so hot here that I'm going to leave mine in all the time as well. Does it block the heat well?
@@underworldevents265- you do not feel radiant heat on your head while driving. I’m sure it helps with cabin heat while parked to some degree…but hot is hot.
@@dano9176 Thats a fact! I'm more concerned about the radiant heat. Thanks!
That's an interesting sun roof system for sure, and a great review as well. I've seen however a new model of sun roof for the model 3/Y that doesn't use any clips, but instead just uses electrostatic system to stick to the glass, and thus get easily on and off. What do you think of those ones ?
How easy is it to get the clips out? Also, any chance of scratching the glass when installing? Thanks.
Does it fall off the magnets with the windows down from wind? Or do they hold up
Only psychopaths drive with the windows down
Nice! But I wish you had shown refolding that shade. I have similar beach pop-up tents that are almost impossible to refold back up. I have had to rewatch videos each time and practice before leaving on how to twist them to get the darn things refolded. Were these easy to refold?
Just twist and they fold right down.
Really wish I would have seen this before I ordered off of Am Z n ... fine print instructions.
Bought one based on your video I did have to use a different prybar because my 24 model Y was very tight up against the glass. My only other issue is the wrinkles in the shade and a little bit of sag, but hopefully that goes away over time?
A few questions:
1) How LONG will these fabric-based shades last?
2) This product only mentions UV light shielding or blocking - but what about all the infrared heat - how much is reflected back through the heat-absorbing glass? (give a percentage or before/after inside temperature comparison)
3) Will the magnets hold the M3 shields in place with windows down @ 75 mph? (Product comments are saying NO)
4) What's the R and U ratings of the "thermal" insulation?
I'm most concerned about rejecting the summer's heat (item #2), since you can burn yourself on the glass without any shielding.
I have this exact roof shade. My only problem is that it doesn't fully cover my roof 100%. There is still slight gaps in parts. My previous was so tight that there was no gap but it was a pain to put on and off. I think I just got a bad one. This is one of those that if you error, it should be larger and not smaller.
Same here. It also overlaps so looks a bit untidy. I’ve tried adjusting it several times
I wish there was something that we could put on the exterior to block the sun. Even with the sun shades in place a ton of heat still comes through.
I think you should review the electrostatic ones before you label anything the best. It was hard getting it to stick the first time but after that it's been great and my favorite
Which motor captures the Regen Energy when slowing down?
If i followed you correctly. The permanent magnet motors magnetic field is always there.
So would it be that one that slows the vehicle down and put energy back into the battery?
I ordered a set a few days ago and they said they were out of stock and wouldn’t ship until April 20. Just got an email that they’re shipping today! Hopefully, they’ll be here before a trip from Texas to Oregon in the Model Y.
I am working in my Tesla in Florida sun and the new tint is so dark I don’t have an issue with the sun
Or tesla could just factory install a retractable roof shade like many of its chinese ev competitors...i left mine on for over a year now too much hassle
Or Tesla could offer the stupid glass roof as a paid for option only like many other car makers do. You know, for people who feel like paying a lot of money for something utterly useless. First pay for the glass roof, then pay for the shade, then pay for increased insurance ( they DO break) etc.
So glad I saw this video! I put mine up in less than 5mins
Having watched this video I bought a set for my Tesla model 3 (Shanghai version) here in the UK, but I was really disappointed. It didn’t fit anywhere near as well as yours did. I sent it straight back to Amazon, (who promptly sent me labels to return it to one of their centres in Illinois)! It was a poor fit and the colour didn’t come close to matching the lining on the roof framework. However, it did appear to be well-made with good quality materials, so I wouldn’t discount them as an option for others.
Yeah good idea, but how much sag, and how much flap in the wind with windows down?
No sag. Haven't tried with the windows down. Too cold.
Is it available for the CyberTruck?
Any saging in the middle, and can you get extra clips ?
Hi great vid as always, but where did you find the headrest covers? Do you know if they make them for Mod X? Thanks!
I have the 3.0 fullshade for the model y and I’m having trouble with the install. Connected the side rails to the front portion, but there’s too much tension in the chord to connect the back portion. Giving up.
Any chance you could find out where we can get replacement clips for this product? My rear piece will fall when driving with the windows down so I’m looking to add at least 2 more clips.
Will this fit the new 2024 m3p? Also do any of them cover the full rear window as well?
can i just buy just the magnet clips itself.
Thanks for your interest! In fact, we will be selling the magnetic snaps separately. Please keep an eye on our official website for updates.😊
@@otrifowdany word on the clips to be sold separately?
@@SCLaughter Hi dear, thanks for your interest! The clips will be sold in the end of June at Otrifowd Amz.☺
@@otrifowd Sadly, it does not appear that you make one for the Model S.
@@bigguh1 Thanks for your interest! Hope we can make the suitable one in the future
The 10% seems to have expired. Do you have a code?
How much does it keep your Tesla cooler in the direct sun?
This is what I want to know. Perhaps a test in the middle of summer is in order? Does it add range? Probably not, but interesting to see.
Thanks for your interest. We will show the temperature difference in our video later. Please feel free to see the update😊
Are they planning on making these for Model S?
I had my roof tinted and it’s nice don’t need the shade
Do the magnets cause any rattling ? Just checking
None.
sweet! just ordered one for my 2024 performance 3! hope its fits well...keep hot out and warm in winter too?
Did it fits well ?
@@illicitSilhouette yes..thanks for the video...install so much easier than the shade with the clips
This sunshade looks great, but after going out to the website, it only appears that white is available. The interior of the new Model Y I just ordered is black, so white will not work as well.
The top part of the car is white regardless of seat color. I have one of both and they are all white on the ceiling.
How does it do when over 60 mph with the windows down?
Thanks for the inquiry. We will show the situation in our video later. Please feel free to see the update🥰
Why can't I find a roof shade like this for my 2020 Model S? Am I missing something? Thanks.
Will they reduce the temperature in the car on a sunny day? Be nice to see which roof shade is the most effective?
It should but I didn't test it. Will likely still get hot but the over temp protection should kick in less.
Do they make one for 2016-2020 model 3..??.
I have a 2022 Model 3 and does the 2024 work in the 2022? I noticed on Amazon they are out on the older models and only have shades for the 2024 M3
Im looking for shades for sleeping in my highland. It’s so hard to find.
The best Tesla shade would be one that is integrated at the factory - however as Musk does have deep pockets but short arms - it's off to the aftermarket outlets to stop your head from frying.
Hi I'm in the UK and the link doesn't work
Hi, great video. I'm interested in bying one through the link but the discount isn't available? Says its available through 4-24?
Uggghh!!! Why am I only seeing your vid after I bought and installed my roof shades?? 😢😢😢😢
So does this work for Tesla Model 3 and Y ( I have a 2023 Model Y & 2022 Model 3 ) the link takes me to the Model 3 only description. I am in Canada - checked the price on Amazon for the same - reseller WOWZA $$$$ lol exchange rate ain’t that crazy ! LMAO
I take it they don't make one for the S?
Yeah. I’m right with you on this. I think the market for the S is smaller and underserved.
Are your head rest covers or stickers
“Big Hero 6” 👍🏼
Stickers. Cheap on Amazon. There is a link in the video description.
@@iowatesla Perfect, I just ordered some. thanks
Despite the promo being over.. I can't even locate the "ultrafold" shades anywhere on Amazon. I'll keep searching - plz post if someone has a link to this Ultrafold sunshade.
Tesla doesn't have an automatic sunshade cover by default
Very nice, but the question is WHEN do I use it? I live in Las Vegas, where it gets super hot in the summer, but let’s say I’m going grocery shopping for 35 minutes, or getting a haircut, should I put the shades up?
You put up the shade during hot season especially in Las Vegas. Then take it off during cold season.
I'm in Phoenix and I leave the shade up for half the year. Then from November to May I take off the shade and enjoy the panoramic roof. Best of both worlds.
Just installed today, the magnet clip works great easy on and off. My head feel much cooler than the typical see through fabric. $70 is acceptable. Amazon free return.
Thank you very good review
how do you put the clips in. they are so hard to put in?
Pry tool worked great.
This is where I get really upset with the cross border Amazon pricing. In Canada it goes for CAD 209+ tax (USD 154+ tax) This is crazy. I would love to have one for my model Y but will not pay almost 2x the price.
That is crazy! Sorry.
Where did you get the seat covers?
They are stickers from Amazon. Link in the description.
It is out of stock... Does anyone know when it will be back?
Actually, the link says so but if you search it without the link, I think it's available.
@@hankkim6828 you can pre-order it. But for model 3 might have to wait till May.
I was able to feed six out of the seven clips. The right side of the back area is too tight and it doesn't allow me to put that clip. Anybody else had the same issue?
The only shade worth getting is the electric retracting one.
I Rent from Uber/Tesla. I do purchase aftermarket accessories for the Tesla Model 3. Colorado does get pretty hot in the summer. This will be a welcomed purchase for not only my experience but also for my passengers.
great review！
Can you drive with it on?
100% yes. You can do 1/2 at a time if you want too.
This is over $222 in Canada
I’d rather my Tesla not have a glass roof at all and be a little lighter and cheaper
When you take them out. Lay them down carefully. Dont want to be throwing shade in a tesla.....🤣
Too funny!
Is there a magnetic 🧲 attachment for Mod 3..?
The 10% off doesn’t work with the link.
I'm told that the link includes the 10% in the price. I'll check on that.
I've had a Model S, Model 3, and a Model Y. I have never needed a sunshade...
It doesn't "block 100% of the sun", it's translucent, not a true black out shade.
I would apply a dark reflective window tint on the inside to cover the glass
Can't, the glass will shatter when hot.
Why don't Tesla just give an option for a regular roof? Having a glass roof that heavily tinted that you can barely see out of is just dumb, imo.
I think it's a compromise between market perception of premium and cost cutting: premium cars usually have sun roofs, but they also have electronic shades. Tesla stood the middle road, which really fits all cases unless you live in a very hot environment all year round.
You must be blind if you can’t see out of a see through glass. The glass is not see through from outside and perfectly see through from inside.
As for why Tesla couldn’t give a reflective retractable shade, they definitely should.
Model y shade is out of stock
I may be weird. I like nature and the sun. I don’t want to block it. It’s natures way of providing with us. We have AC. And I also weirdly like to roll down the windows while driving down the highway. Yes very 80s of me. I don’t need shades and blinds. Let the sun shine in.
Then why respond?
Cadillac Lyriq solves all these problems.
With all the bitching and complaining and whining and 111 Wawa in these comments that is a nice economical simple solution great design and it doesn't sound like you guys even have a Tesla
I recommend not getting this product the the magnets were hard to install on the model 3 and did not work accordingly so therefore I had to return the product
I just can't stand how these shades sags in the middle.
How does it look from the back of the car? Dumb?
You can’t see it.
I rather just bake in the sun. To much trouble and cumbersome. Tesla should have given us a power shade.
Agree!
Nah that’s stupid
I live in AZ. I see a lot of Teslas. I like them. The glass roof will keep me from buying one. Too hot.
@@davegenet to be completely honest teslas have auto climate when the interior reaches certain degrees and the glass is really tinted for uv protection it’s not super clear. And u could buy the cover and put it on only for the summer I live in Texas
@@jxg9919I put ceramic tint and roof shades in Texas. Works great
nobody shows how they store it in any videos because they know its a pain in the ass
Boo, sold out on older model 3's. They don't even make a model for my older Model 3 (2016-2019).
Sorry. It was very popular.
car makers should stop this glass roof nonsense. wtfff
Speaking only for myself but if I'm going to shell out $38K - $50K for a car, I expect the car to come with a manual sunshade at a minimum, let alone the most technology-riddled car in the world from the greatest genius in the world Musk (genius, bullshitter, you say tomaytoe I say tomahto).
Listen…I’ve owned two model Y’s and one Model three AND I AGREE! You can’t give me a freaking shade??? I bought a shade with those clips he showed. Absolutely horrible!!! I’m thinking about starting a channel just to show the BS we’ve gone through with our Teslas over the last 4 years.
This is why I will never buy a car without a retractable shade. I’m not paying $40k+ for a car without it; especially as other brands offer it.
