How to install our S3XY Strip on Legacy Tesla Model 3/Y?
The S3XY Strip is our newest product in our lineup of smart Tesla accessories, allowing you to become more aware of your surroundings on the road with smart alerts and animations. Thousands of owners have already successfully installed it in their cars, and the feedback has been amazing.
However, after going through the comments across all social media platforms, we noticed that drivers with legacy Model 3 and Model Y had a bit more difficulty with the installation process, compared to those who own Highland and Juniper models. They were worried that the Strip would reflect on the windshield. To make sure that is not the case, in our installation video, we recommended placing the 1mm inside the dash. However, many owners of previous generations' Model 3/Y have reported difficulties maintaining proper alignment and positioning the Strip at an optimal depth.
That is why we created a specific tool to assist them with this very problem, and we also prepared a video presentation to show you how to use it properly:
The Installation
Before you start the installation process, it is a good idea to turn off the airflow so that it doesn’t interfere with the glue. Then, clean up the area before proceeding to complete the following steps:
1. Starting from the left side, place the end of the Strip in the tool’s groove. Ensure it is securely in place.
2. Remove a small portion of the seal cover of the Strip.
3. Place the tool, along with the Strip’s end, against the edge of the air vent.
4. Press with your thumb to secure the Strip in place.
5. Slide the tool to the right and press again.
6. Repeat the process until you reach the other end, each time removing small parts of the cover tape to keep the adhesive fresh.
