windshield

I am a long time owner of a M3P. Love the car, but I want something more reasonable for long trips and going up to the snow. I sat in a 23’ Model S today, and noticed some minor distortion in the driver side window. Doing a bit of searching, it looks like the ‘21 refresh may have brought with it...

Windshield and back window fogging up from inside on my 2016 P90D Model S. I’ve also started getting cracks in the windshield. I live in the Bay Area, so I don’t think its the weather. No clue what’s causing this, any help would be great!

Since delivery, I've had problems with my wipers squeaking loudly (when they reverse directions at the top and bottom of each wipe), as well as loudly chattering, skipping and thumping across the windshield. Video demonstrating the problem (volume up) The only (temporary) solution I've found...

Hey all, Had a rock fly at my windshield when driving behind a truck. -clunk- Scuffed the windshield slap bang in the center. The glass didn’t crack. It’s a very surface scuff and I can barely feel it when I run my fingers over it. But I can see it from the inside. I was wondering if...

After a few days of no stop rain in a new Model S with HW4, it seems the auto wiper behavior has been significantly improved from what I’m used to in 2.5 and dare I say on par with my 2016 MS with an actual rain sensor with the mobile eye suite. This was an improvement I wasn’t expecting and a...

Just got a new 2023 MSLR. One thing i noticed is that when the sunlight hits the windshield at the right angle i see some grey foamy type material where the front of the windshield meets the dash area. I don't know if im just being OCD or if the company that tinted my windows did some type of...

Posting this story because it is a case of surreal Tesla engineering that just defies imagination. At end of January I woke up to my 2021 LR Model S with an end to end horizontal crack in my windshield that seemingly came out of nowhere while sitting overnight in a driveway in Stowe VT. Low...

My front windshield cracked over the weekend due to a rough road conditions, and I am only 45 days away from lease returned. The tesla quoted 1.5 K for parts and labor, I wonder if anyone can recommend a better deal in southern california Also, is an off-brand windshield acceptable during...

The heating elements in the windshield stops 3 inches away from the right side wiper tip. Exactly the part of the wiper that's cleaning the camera... In a car that's depending on its camera for safety. The ice buildup actually makes the condition worse for the camera than just leaving it as it...

Hi, I have a big stress fracture crack on my windshield from defrosting in the cold. My insurance only covers after I pay $1000. Does anyone know if I should go to tesla or is there a cheaper option. I don’t want to pay 1000 out of pocket tbh. Thanks

Received my Model S in September and found windshield distortion problem. Replaced 3 times and still have the problem. Probably have the bad windshield manufacture and bad quality control policy.

Hi All, So I took my car yesterday to replace my windshield and fix a bunch of other comments which were pending from the day of the delivery of my 2022 Tesla Model 3. However, after I got my car back and drove away. I started to hear a new clicking noise coming from the front right side of...

I can’t get these damn marks out of my windshield. In the mornings, when there’s dew and fog, it becomes impossible to drive. I’ve tried a glass clay bar and Speed Shine but it didn’t seem to work very well. Any ideas on how to get this cleaned up? Windshield

While sitting at a stoplight this morning in FSDb... suddenly my windshield wipers activated and the cleaner sprayed three short bursts of washer fluid. I guess it thought my windshield was dirty. However, I'm notorious for keeping it super clean as I enjoy the huge view. In fact, when I got...

The annoyance of trying to clean your windshield while on the go has motivated my wife and I to put together a travel cleaning kit. I'm looking for some hands on feedback of the current load out. We can meet at either the local superchargers here in COMO and you can take it for a spin. It...

This occurred a few days ago, but sharing to the community here for awareness. An individual attempted to remove my Model 3 windshield over the course of nearly 6 hours (11:45 PM to 5:30 AM) on Friday, July 15, while parked on the street outside of my house. He was unsuccessful, but botched the...

Hi All, I had an appointment for windshield replacement on my 2022 model S at Tesla service center in Mt Kisco, NY for yesterday. I went there and had to reschedule the appointment for next week since the glass technician called in sick. But today, I got a call from Tesla service saying...

Summer is here and the temperature is rising. Even if the air conditioner is turned on, it can still get very hot and the harsh sunlight can be bothersome. Even though Tesla claims its glass blocks 99% of UV rays, this still often leaves Tesla owners suffering from the heat, especially if you...

I've got a FasTrak CAV tag for my 2021 Model Y and am having ongoing problems with being charged tolls on the 680 HOV lane despite the tag being set to 2 or 3 people. I've got the tag mounted behind the rear-view mirror on the right side. It alternates between not reading the tag at all (and...

My EZ Pass used to work fine mounted horizontally at the top of my windshield to the left of the front camera housing. After getting Xpel XR Plus front windshield tint it no longer works in the same spot. Couldn’t find anything on any forums about it not working with ceramic non-metallic tints...

Is it possible that due to snow and the preheat that the windshield cracked? It’s massive and not sure what the issue could have caused it. I saw no visible emanate prior to tbis.

Hello. I accidentally used a wrong side of this scrub sponge (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004IR3044). Now I have approximately 1x1ft of light scratches on the windshield right in the front of the eyes. They are barely visible outside, but visible inside, especially at the night time. My nail does...

I purchased a 2021 Model 3 Performance New with 950 miles from a service center in Chicago in Dec 2020, the car had a few cosmetic issues that I noticed upon my walk around when seeing the car in person. One of the issues was a small chip on the windshield, it was fixed by the service center by...

Cold day- preheated car and came out to a cracked windshield low on the glass where the heat comes out of the dash. Wasn’t cracked when parked night before. Is this a common risk when preheating a cold car? Will Tesla cover it under warranty? Thanks

I just got the 21 LR back in July and since day 1 or 2, the windshield wiper fluid barely came out. I pretty much topped it off and tried again with no change whatsoever. Is it normal for the fluid to not shoot out like it does in virtually every single car out there? It looks like a little...

Here's a new one for me. I had my MY windshield replaced this past Tuesday (OEM glass, 3rd party installer) and when I was driving to work on Wednesday morning the AC, which I always keep on "auto" at 68°, decided that it only wanted the air to come out of the windshield and foot vents. It...

Long story short, very early stealth performance model 3 with numerous issues (15 items fixed by Tesla), trying to get some advice on my latest issue with the front windshield. Front windshield was replaced by Tesla due to stress fracture in December 2019. Almost in the same spot, stress...

Hey all hope it's okay to post this but I have been trying to get rid of this streak with no outcome. Tried to clay it , IPA wipe down , and clay towel can't get anything to work. Would anyone have a recommendation. Don't have a DA Also this area always causes my windshield wipers to chatter...

Hey guys, I thought I would share my mod with you. I was experiencing some windshield noise with speeds over 50mph. I did some research and experimented with putting tape over windshield holes around. It fixed it so I came up with solution that you might find interesting. It completely fixes...

Came back from a short trip and during the ride on the highway a small rock hit our windshield on our Model X, causing a small oval chip a little less than a centimeter. Pic attached. Who have people used to fix this, or is this something people have done fixed themselves?

Kinda annoyed, and seriously puzzled. Saturday we had a bit of snow overnight. Sunday morning I defrost my X, move it so the plow truck can clear my spot, and when I go back out a couple hours later, I find a giant crack in the base of my windshield. Starts below the hood and comes up on both...

Hi guys, hoping to get your held and opinion regarding poor visibility in my Model 3 during wet weather. *** There are videos below of the issue. Please watch it and if you want to know more about what my thoughts are read below, especially last bolded paragraphs *** My original windshield came...

Hi all! We have had lots of success with our Tesla Windshield Protection Film kits for the Model 3, X, and S. Our kits are preshaped and precut, so your detailer/installer doesn't need to heat or cut the film on your vehicle. Normally Windshield protection film is too difficult and risky to be...

We are looking for a windshield sun shade for our Model Y. It appears from product listings on Amazon that the shades for a Model 3 also fit a Model Y. Is that to be believed or, to ensure a good fit, should I be seeking a product that is specific to the Model Y?

Below is the excerpt from the Model Y manual: Topping Up Windshield Washer Fluid The only reservoir into which you can add fluid is the windshield washer fluid reservoir, which is located behind the front trunk. When the level is low, a message displays on the touchscreen. To top up the...

So I was really excited for my Y performance. My pick up date was the 1st or September. But I cancelled my order! It’s strange to say it was hard to actually cancel it too! I have wanted a Tesla since they first hit the market. So a few weeks ago I made the jump and said screw it’s sight...

Straight from the factory, why no one from Tesla decided to correct this before giving out to a customer is beyond me. Of all the cars that I have ordered used and new, I've never seen anything like this before. looks like the glass was not cooled correctly and now there's a difference in...

My 2018 Model X windshield cracked today, without any sign of physical impact. I am wondering how. We went to a local county park. The windshield was fine when I parked and put up the sunlight shield (from inside). I found the crack 1.5 hours later when pulled down the sunlight shield to go...

Has anyone put clear tint film on the front windshield? History is I live in Las Vegas and we need to protect from the summer heat and sun. There are almost no sun screens yet for the MY but several places here in town are putting clear tint on the front windshield to reduce heat transmission...

Repeat thread: Posted in other forums Since end Nov/Dec, I've experienced issues related to autopilot and sentry mode. 1) Auto Pilot constantly not available. It started intermittently but after about 2 months it's now completely unavailable. 2) Sentry Mode constantly turned off due to Sentry...

I'm struggling to find wiper blades, available in the Great White North, that will work in the M3 and not interfere with the spray module. Do we buy them at the SC or is there something I'm missing? Thanks!

The top of the windshield of my 2019 Model X has an orange tint any time it's wet. Do they all look like this? And it's not just the way the light is showing. It's like this during the daytime also.

Hi All! Had a rock chip crack my windshield in April, couple weeks after getting my TM3, today it finally spidered and got a pretty lengthy crack. I already found a Tesla certified Glass guy in the Bay Area to do the replacement, he actually advised me to wait for it to crack more to replace...

Well I went to Tesla today to take delivery of my new Model 3 SR+ Black/Black 18” Aero wheels w/ FSD. First thing I noticed was a huge crack in the windshield, unable to take delivery of the car. Huge disappointment but glad we noticed it before leaving the lot. There were some minor panel gaps...

Hi All, I just received delivery of my Model 3 last week (last week of June 2019) and I had heard about the numerous quality issues with paint, build, etc. After inspecting the car, there were few minor things such as the R tail light looking a bit chipped but otherwise, ok. However, when I...

I've had my Model 3 LR AWD only 10 days. While washing it this weekend, I noticed a bit of mismatch from windshield to roof glass. It's fine at Driver's side, but a bit pronounced at Passenger side. both images included. Anyone hear of or see something like this? i'm wondering if Tesla...

What have M3 owners found most effective in escalation an issue that your local service center declines? I’ve emailed Customer Service, Musk’s Office, Press@Tesla, and also resolutions@tesla - to no avail. In addition to Tweeting Musk, Tesla and Support. My windshield (at 10 days old when I...
