Anybody else having problems with catching the window buttons?

[exlatccatsa]

Almost every time I close or open the drivers door I seem to open a window accidentally by catching one of the buttons on the drivers door. Luckily Teslafi notifies me if I don't notice, but its getting annoying now. anybody know of a cover to stop this?

That’s pretty hard to do. Are you using the right button to open the door with? At the top of the handle, rather than the lever in front of the window buttons

My initial response would be 'no', but I did find the driver's window slightly down the other day so maybe I have done that!

We must be similarly shaped or similarly stupid exalt. I do it all the time.

I mentioned this in a Facebook thread about windows opening by themselves as a possible reason and got torn up for toilet paper but I do it all the time!

We get a phantom window opening about once every couple of weeks. Sometimes it could be the kids, but sometimes it feels like either the window goes down too far on opening and can’t get back up, or the car opens it after we’ve walked away..!

I think its because the seat is all the way back, normal driving position for me, and theres only just enough room for my hand to get to the door handle to open the door ..if you get what I mean and large hands mean i seem to catch the buttons.. with them being almost silent and me making the noise getting out of the car its eas to not notice that one or the other has opened especially the rear ones. Iy happened again last night .. I noiced an eail from Teslafi this morning at 0030 that the window was open. Even though I heard the beep of the car locking...Frustrating!!

yes using the door open button with my thumb mostly, so it must be the bottom of my hand just brushing the window buttons.

We have had our car since August and it has started happening to us in the last few days. Time to sit down and re-calibrate the windows.

After a rain storm last night, I can out and found two of our windows down, is there a treat thy I can do on the Tesla app to notify us when the windows are down?

Teslafi can notify you via email or text. It has saved me a couple of times now.

Or just check your phone App, something I always do when I have rear passengers.

Also the phone App allows you to close all the windows.

Having windows slightly open happens to me on a regular basis, at least once a week. I usually only notice when I’m driving and it’s noisier than normal. The amount they are down looks exactly as if they haven’t gone back up again after I’ve closed a door. I’m certain I’m not touching the buttons.

Not necessarily as I get out, although maybe and i just haven't noticed. But i have noticed that every now and again I knock the switch, or I notice the window is open.

This has happened to me and I can't explain how it happens.
The first time was before the Vent option appeared on the app - so I can't blame that.
Teslafi came up with the window open warning and that has been a godsend on 2 occasions thus far.

I had a similar problem when my windows would randomly open when I was not present when I first received my car. Again like many I thought I must have caught a button on exit but this was not the case. I have my car covered by a cctv camera and caught it one day opening a rear window half way on its own. At the time I heard a lot of others have this problem on a model 3. I did the reset window process and it seems to be fixed, not sure it it was that or a later software update that fixed the problem.
