Tired of your reversing camera immediately becoming unusable when it rains and then having to clean it after all the dirt has dried on it? Finally there is a solution to this problem! The camera cover for the rear view camera of your Tesla Model 3 or Y encloses your camera and protects it with a hydrophobic film that repels water and dirt. The camera cover is easy to install and optically transparent, so it has no effect on the rear view camera or color reproduction.
Please note that the manufacturer recommends replacing the cover after 4 to 6 months, as the effectiveness of the coating diminishes. Cleaning with a glasses cleaning cloth helps to prolong the function. Over time, however, the cover becomes less repellent and should then be replaced.
Fitting instructions:
1) As a first step, we recommend removing the license plate and frame. This gives you better access to the camera. Once the camera cover has been fitted, the license plate and frame can of course be refitted.
2) Make sure that the application area is clean and completely dry. Please take the time to clean the area thoroughly. We also recommend mounting the camera cover at a temperature between 10 and 30 degrees. The environment should be dry during installation.
Note:
Please check that this piece of adhesive film is close to the camera:
Some Tesla cameras are equipped with this protective film at the factory. If it is still stuck in this area, it must be removed to ensure proper adhesion of the camera cover.
3) Clean the adhesive area on the vehicle with a glasses cleaning cloth or a little alcohol and allow everything to dry thoroughly.
4) Carefully remove the protective film on the adhesive side!
5) Center the camera cover at the bottom and back of the camera. Make sure that it is positioned exactly at right angles (all sides must be positioned at the same time, not one side in front of the other).
6) Once the camera cover has been glued on all round, press it on by hand for one minute, it is best to leave the vehicle for 24 to 48 hours to allow the adhesive to dry. It is recommended not to wash the vehicle for approx. 7 days to allow the adhesive to fully adhere.
Notes:
During application, rapid changes in temperature or high humidity may cause the cover to mist up slightly - similar to sunglasses fogging up after being put on in an air-conditioned store. After a short time, the fogging disappears again without leaving any residue.
We do not recommend washing the car in a "touchless" car wash, as high-pressure cleaners are used there at close range, which can lead to water ingress.
