TESERY Couvercle de rétroviseur latéral pour Model Y Juniper (style OEM) - Modifications extérieures en fibre de carbone sèche

A1 - Installation is a quick and tool‑free process:

1, Clean the Surface
Thoroughly clean the area around the mirror housing with isopropyl alcohol or a mild degreaser to remove dirt, wax, and oils. A clean surface ensures maximum adhesion.

2, Align the Mirror Cover
Position the carbon fiber cover over the original mirror housing. High‑precision moldings ensure a seamless fit with factory contours.

3, Secure the Cover
*Gently press the overlay into place:
*Use pre-applied tabs to snap the cover onto the factory mirror cap.
*The premium 3M adhesive tape ensures a firm attachment—just press along the edges and center to lock it in place.

4, Final Adjustment
Press firmly around the entire perimeter and center for about 20–30 seconds to activate the adhesive. Confirm all edges are flush against the housing.

✅ Tips for Best Results
*Work in a clean, dry environment to prevent dust contamination during installation.
*Allow time to set: avoid getting the mirror wet for at least 24 hours to let the adhesive cure.
*Be gentle when snapping and pressing—this ensures a secure fit without damaging clips.
Do not peel or reapply once firmly pressed; reposition only before full adhesion.

🧾 Summary
Mirror cover installation is fast and easy—no tools required. Simply clean, align, and press using the built-in tabs and adhesive. It takes just minutes per side and delivers a sleek, durable finish that upgrades the aesthetics and quality of your Model Y.

A2 - Yes — dry carbon fiber mirror covers are well worth it for your Model Y Juniper. They deliver notable weight savings, superior strength, immaculate aesthetics, and long-term performance. While there’s a premium involved, the luxurious feel and functional benefits make it a compelling choice for Tesla owners seeking both style and substance.

1. Lightweight & Stronger
Dry carbon fiber, or pre-preg carbon fiber, is cured under high pressure and temperature using an autoclave with minimal resin. This results in components that are significantly lighter and mechanically stronger than their wet carbon counterparts.

2. Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratio
With better fiber orientation and less excess resin, dry carbon offers a higher strength-to-weight ratio — ideal for performance and aesthetic parts like mirror covers.

3. Refined Finish & Durability
Dry carbon provides a crisp, flawless weave pattern and resists yellowing over time. The precise finish is long-lasting and visually premium.

4. Premium, Race-Inspired Appeal
Used in aerospace and high-end performance vehicles, dry carbon fiber aligns with Tesla’s sleek, futuristic design ethos, offering a true luxury-sport aesthetic.

5. Lightweight Advantage
Dry carbon components can be up to 60% lighter than wet carbon parts — a subtle yet meaningful improvement for overall vehicle efficiency.

A3 - Not at all. The mirror covers are engineered to maintain full functionality of Tesla’s folding mirrors.

🔧 Key Reasons:
*OEM‑style precision fit ensures the cover snugly overlays the mirror housing without obstructing movement. Tests confirm it does not interfere with folding or unfolding functions, including Tesla’s Auto Fold feature.
*Slim profile and light assembly mean the covers don’t add significant weight or resistance, preventing any added friction or mechanical stress.

✅ Summary:
Your Tesla’s Auto Fold mirror function will remain fully operational. The covers are designed for seamless fit and function—no impact on folding, no interference with sensor systems, and no added mechanical strain.

A4 - The clear UV-resistant coating applied to our dry carbon fiber mirror covers is engineered for long-lasting performance, preventing fading, yellowing, or surface degradation—even under strong sun exposure over years.

🔧 Why It Works:
*Carbon Fiber Core Stability: The carbon fibers themselves do not degrade with UV exposure—the resin or clear coat typically takes the hit.
*Premium UV-Resistant Coating: We use a high-grade epoxy or clear resin formulated to withstand UV light, heat, and oxidation. This ensures the finish remains intact and glossy over time.

🌍 What Happens Without Proper Protection:
Many aftermarket carbon parts—especially those with gel coat or poor clear finishes—begin fading or yellowing within 4–6 months, particularly in sunny climates. This is frequently reported even on parts marketed as weather-resistant.

🛡️ Recommended Maintenance:
*Ceramic coating or quality PPF: Applying a protective layer over the carbon fiber can extend the life of the finish and enhance UV resistance.
*Periodic cleaning and waxing: Simple maintenance with mild soap and UV wax helps preserve appearance.

✅ Summary
Our dry carbon fiber mirror covers offer robust UV protection via a high-quality clear coating that resists fading, yellowing, and degradation—even under strong sun exposure. With minimal maintenance, they stay looking sharp for years without compromising on aesthetics or durability.

A5 - Yes — you can safely remove or upgrade your Model Y carbon fiber mirror covers without damaging the original interior, as long as you follow the correct process.

🔥 Use Gentle Heat & Be Patient
Start by applying mild heat using a hair dryer or heat gun on low. This softens the 3M adhesive, allowing the cover to gently peel off without pulling or damaging the surface beneath

✂️ Peel Slowly, Use Proper Tools
Begin peeling from one corner and work in small sections. If any residue remains, you can gently rub it off or use approved adhesive removers. One Reddit user shared their approach:

🧼 Choose Safe Cleaners for Residue
After removing the cover, use mild isopropyl alcohol or adhesive removers like Goo Gone to clean any leftovers. Be cautious with harsh chemicals—you may test on an inconspicuous area.

⚖️ What Others Experienced
On Reddit, one user recounted: “It took 1–2 hours, a heat gun, and two detailers … everything came off relatively easy!”
Other guides confirm that most 3M-attached trim pieces come off cleanly with time and gentle heat.

✅ Summary
You can remove or upgrade the carbon fiber covers without affecting the original trim—provided you:
*Heat the adhesive slowly,
*Peel carefully in small sections,
*Use suitable cleaning agents when needed.
*Taking your time ensures a damage-free process and allows for future upgrades or replacement.
