Request - Rear window seal

[carnutt]

Hi Everyone,

Could someone please post a pic of their rear window seal, the seal thats on the window that seals between rear of boot and rear window?

As per the pic attached, mine has been trimmed on both sides by varying amounts, on one side theres no seal and I can see the boot strut through the gap. Pictured is the better side.

Much appreciated

Rear Windshield Glass Trim Missing?

Tried searching but no luck finding a response. On my m3p the rubber trim around the rear windshield is not “filling the gap” between the glass and trunk lid for approximately 10” on the driver’s side. On the passenger side, the trim extends all the way to meet up with the next piece of trim...

Ha ha, nice looking seal you got there. That stitching though, need to book a visit with your local Tesla SC to claim warranty.

Mine look like that too.
I’ll clean the car one day I promise!

It's normal.

The cut is there so that the powered strut doesn't rub up against it when the boot opens and closes and ultimately tear it anyway.

The car wasn't originally designed to have a powered boot, the system that exists on the pre-Highland car was a workaround, responding to customer demand. Powered boots became expected on cars of that kind of value.

So yeah, nothing to worry about.

It wasn’t even designed to have that seal either. It wasn’t until it rained on the early cars that they decided that it might be a good idea…

Very true I forgot that early cars had no seal at all.
