Choose Your VLT Shade
VLT (Visible Light Transmission) is the percentage of light that passes through the film. Lower VLT means darker tint. The chart below shows how each shade looks on a Tesla Model S and what heat rejection you can expect.
5% VLT
Maximum privacy. Near-opaque from outside. Check local laws before ordering.
15% VLT
High privacy, excellent heat rejection. Popular for rear windows in warm climates.
20% VLT
The sweet spot for most Model S owners. Great privacy without sacrificing night visibility.
35% VLT
Balanced look. Legal for front doors in most states. Good UV and heat protection.
50% VLT
Subtle tint. Maximum visibility. Blocks UV and reduces heat while staying nearly clear.
What Windows Does the Kit Cover?
Each Rvinyl kit is modular — you choose exactly which windows to tint and at what VLT. Mix and match shades across zones to meet your state’s tint laws while maximizing comfort and privacy.
-
Windshield Visor Strip
A narrow strip across the top of the front windshield. Reduces sun glare on highway drives without obstructing Autopilot cameras. Available in 5% or 15% VLT.
-
Front Door Windows
Driver and passenger windows. Most states require 35% or higher VLT for front doors. Verify your local laws before ordering.
-
Rear Door Windows
The two rear passenger windows. Most Model S owners choose 20% or 15% VLT here for maximum privacy and heat rejection.
-
Rear Windshield
The sweeping rear glass of the Model S. Precut to fit the exact curved shape. The large rear glass area makes this one of the most impactful tint zones for heat rejection.
How Hard Is It to Tint a Model S?
The Tesla Model S is rated intermediate difficulty. The large panoramic glass roof and sweeping curved rear windshield require patience and care, but the precut pieces eliminate all measuring and trimming. No cutting. No guesswork. Just patience and a clean workspace.
Clean the Glass
Wash all windows with a lint-free cloth and glass cleaner. The Model S’s large glass surfaces require extra attention to remove all dust, oils, and residue before applying film.
Wet the Window
Spray the inside of the glass with a slip solution. The large curved surfaces of the Model S benefit from generous wetting to allow precise film positioning.
Apply the Precut Film
Peel the liner, place the precut piece on the wet glass, and align it to the edges. The precut shape fits the Model S’s exact window dimensions — no trimming required.
Squeegee Out Moisture
Use a hard card or squeegee to push out water and air bubbles from the center outward. Work methodically on the curved surfaces for a smooth, professional finish.
Cure & Enjoy
Allow 3–5 days for the film to fully cure. Avoid rolling windows down during this period. Small haze or bubbles will disappear as the film dries on the Model S’s large glass panels.
