Tesla Model Y Window Covers / Shades: FAQs

The NovaPads window covers deliver excellent performance in both shading and thermal insulation.

In terms of light blocking:
Our high-quality window covers are crafted with double-layer cooling fabric and feature a reflective nano-silver coating, delivering near-total blackout (99% shading). They effectively block all visible light, transforming the cabin into a dim, tranquil space—perfect for camping, taking a quick nap, or protecting your interior materials from UV-induced fading and premature aging.

In terms of heat insulation:
While the glass already blocks UV rays, it still allows significant infrared (heat) radiation to pass through. Our window covers add a physical barrier that reflects solar heat away before it ever enters the cabin. On a hot summer day, this can reduce interior temperatures by 5 to 10°C (9 to 18°F) compared to uncovered glass. However, please note that the covers do not actively cool the car—they slow down heat build-up, giving your air conditioning system a head start and helping to reduce overall energy consumption.

Yes, the roof sunshade is sold separately and is not included in the window shade set.

The NovaPads Window Shades kit comes with 8 pieces in total: front windshield shade *1, rear windshield shade *1, front side window shades *2, rear side window shades *2, and triangular window shades * 2. The roof sunshade is not part of this package.

Yes, absolutely. Compared to window covers that use suction cups or wire-frame tension rings, NovaPads Window Covers are designed for a much simpler and quicker installation.

For the front and rear side windows, all you need to do is slip the cover over the window frame and close the door—that's it, the cover is securely in place. The rear windshield cover is equally straightforward—simply attach it to the five designated mounting points.

For detailed step-by-step instructions, please refer to our installation guide.

For safety reasons, we do not recommend using the privacy curtain while the vehicle is in motion. The curtain will obstruct your driving visibility, preventing you from reacting promptly to road conditions.

Therefore, we suggest using our privacy curtain only when you are camping or parked in your Tesla.

No, they won't. NovaPads window covers are made from high-density woven fabric with excellent water-resistant and splash-proof properties.

When raindrops land on the covers, they bead up and roll off the surface—just like water on a lotus leaf—without soaking into the material.

No, it won't. Even with frequent installation and removal of our window covers, there will be no impact on the Model Y's window sealing or sound insulation performance.

NovaPads window covers are crafted from double-layer cooling fabric with a reflective nano-silver coating, which provides excellent UV reflection and blockage—yet they remain remarkably thin. As a result, they will not interfere with normal window operation or cause any adverse effects on the window seals.

Rest assured, you can use them with complete confidence.

Absolutely. Our window shades are made entirely from double-layer cooling fabric with a reflective nano-silver coating—no bulky wire frames or rigid supports to worry about.

When your Tesla camping trip is over, simply fold them up like you would a piece of clothing and slip them into the included storage pouch. The folded size is just 29 x 23 x 6 cm (approximately 11.4 x 9 x 2.4 inches), making it compact enough to fit almost anywhere—door pockets, the glovebox, the frunk, the trunk, or any spare corner in your Model Y.

They take up virtually no space at all.

Yes, they will. While the privacy curtain was originally designed with the Model Y Juniper in mind, the window dimensions between the Legacy and Juniper models are not significantly different.

After rigorous testing, we found the only noticeable difference is in the front windshield—the Juniper's front glass is slightly larger in area. As a result, the privacy curtain will be a touch oversized on the Model Y Legacy, but it still provides complete light blockage.

Our conclusion: 98% compatibility across both models.

Absolutely. NovaPads Model Y windowcovers are designed to slip over the frameless glass, making installation a breeze—and they don't rely on wedging into any gaps around the glass to stay in place.

So when you're camping in your Tesla and the covers are installed, you can open and close the doors and trunk freely without affecting the shading or heat insulation performance at all.

Yes, they can be washed.

However, frequent washing may reduce the water-resistant performance of the covers over time. To preserve their water-repellent properties, we recommend washing them only when necessary.

No, they won't. Our window covers are made from high-quality, eco-friendly materials that are heat-stable and odorless.

Even after extended exposure to direct sunlight, the fabric will not release any unpleasant smells or harmful fumes.

You can enjoy a fresh and comfortable cabin environment during your Tesla camping trips with complete peace of mind.
