# Model 3 (2017-2023) Tinted Roof Protection - PPF Kit

Protect your glass, cool down your cabin, and change your look. The **2017–2023 Legacy Tesla Model 3** features a striking panoramic view—but that overhead glass is highly vulnerable to flying road rocks and intense solar heat. A single stray piece of highway gravel can instantly crack your center panel, resulting in an expensive, out-of-pocket **$1,600+ Tesla service bill**.

Our **Tesla Model 3 (2017-2023) Tinted Roof PPF & Heat Protection Kit** completely upgrades your driving experience. Unlike basic styling vinyl or traditional interior window tints that simply absorb heat, our premium TPU paint protection film is packed with \*\*advanced ceramic thermal-rejection technology\*\* to block blistering solar energy before it can ever penetrate your cabin.

**The Safest Way to Tint Your Model 3 Roof:** Traditional window tinting is applied to the _inside_ of the car, forcing installers to spray liquid directly above Tesla’s sensitive overhead wiring harness, Autopilot cameras, and premium headliner. Because our tinted thermal PPF installs completely on the **exterior**, your cabin electronics stay 100% safe and dry.

## Why Your Legacy Model 3 Needs Thermal Roof PPF

-   **Massive Infrared Heat Rejection:** Early generation Model 3 glass panels are notorious for creating a heat-lamp effect over the driver's head. Featuring a premium thermal barrier that blocks up to **95% of Infrared Rays (IRR)**, this kit keeps your cabin drastically cooler without needing a sagging fabric sunshade.
-   **99% UV Ray Shielding:** Blocks harmful ultraviolet radiation to protect your skin during long road trips and prevent your Tesla’s premium dashboard and seats from cracking or fading.
-   **Heavy-Duty Armor Coating:** Constructed from impact-absorbing 8-mil TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), this film acts as a bulletproof layer against high-velocity road debris, rocks, and environmental hazards.
-   **True Self-Healing Surface:** Say goodbye to swirl marks. Light scratches, scuffs, and wash marks automatically disappear when exposed to the sun’s natural heat, maintaining flawless optical clarity.
-   **100% Pre-Cut DIY Design:** Tailored specifically for garage installs. This kit arrives laser-cut to the precise dimensions of the legacy Model 3 center roof glass. No razor blades, no hand-trimming, and zero risk to your vehicle.
