The WINDSHIELD EDGE SEAL 1499060-00-B is a critical weatherproofing component engineered exclusively for Tesla Model Y. Designed to seal the gap between the windshield and the vehicle’s body, this precision-molded seal safeguards the cabin from the elements, reduces noise, and preserves the structural integrity of your Model Y. Crafted to meet Tesla’s rigorous standards, it’s the ideal replacement for worn or damaged original seals.
Key Specifications
Part Number: 1499060-00-B – a unique identifier ensuring a perfect fit for Tesla Model Y (confirm your vehicle’s production year for full compatibility).
Position: Installed along the perimeter of the windshield, creating a tight seal between the glass and the car’s frame.
Material: High-grade EPDM rubber, chosen for its flexibility, temperature resistance, and long-term durability.
Superior Design & Materials
Weather-Resistant EPDM Rubber: Made from ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber, a material renowned for withstanding extreme conditions—from -40°C to 100°C. It resists UV radiation, ozone, and chemical exposure, ensuring the seal remains intact and effective for years, even in harsh climates.
Precision-Molded Contours: Engineered to match the exact shape of the Model Y’s windshield edge. The seal’s intricate design follows every curve of the windshield perimeter, eliminating gaps that could allow water, dust, or air to penetrate the cabin.
Reinforced Edges: Features a sturdy yet flexible core that maintains tension against the windshield and frame. This prevents sagging or cracking, even with temperature fluctuations or vibrations from daily driving.
Benefits for Your Model Y
Waterproof Protection: Blocks rain, snow, and road spray from seeping into the cabin or engine bay. Prevents water damage to interior components, such as dashboards, electronics, and upholstery, and reduces the risk of rust in the windshield frame.
Noise Reduction: Creates an airtight barrier that dampens wind noise at high speeds. By minimizing airflow around the windshield edges, it helps maintain a quieter cabin—enhancing the serene driving experience Tesla owners value.
Structural Support: Reinforces the bond between the windshield and the vehicle’s frame, contributing to overall structural rigidity. This is especially important in maintaining the Model Y’s safety performance in the event of a collision.
HVAC Efficiency: Reduces air leakage around the windshield, allowing the heating and cooling system to work more efficiently. This helps preserve battery life by reducing the energy needed to maintain desired cabin temperatures.
Installation Guidelines
Professional installation is recommended to ensure a precise fit, but the seal is designed to align with the Model Y’s factory mounting points:
Remove the old seal by gently peeling it away from the windshield edge (a plastic trim tool is recommended to avoid damaging the paint or glass).
Thoroughly clean the mounting area to remove dirt, adhesive residue, or debris.
Align the new seal with the windshield perimeter, starting from one corner, and press firmly along its length to secure it. The pre-applied adhesive (where applicable) ensures a strong, lasting bond.
Note: Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before exposing the vehicle to water or extreme weather.
Why Choose This Windshield Edge Seal?
A damaged or worn windshield seal can compromise your Model Y’s comfort, safety, and efficiency. The 1499060-00-B seal restores factory-level protection with its durable materials and precision engineering. Whether you’re replacing a faulty seal or performing routine maintenance, this component ensures your Model Y remains protected, quiet, and true to its premium design.
