Anyone having a defected cloth mesh on soundbar?

[m3guy]

I got my car almost a month ago and it was in service center since 10 days. From first day there was 2 defective spot on cloth mesh covering soundbar under the windshield located driver side. I told to my service center and having them to be replaced.

I just got the car being delivered where I work and they replaced the cloth mesh. Still there is a one defective spot almost on same location.

I dont know if Tesla doing smart thing to put a delicate cloth mesh over there just for looking good, they could put something like aluminum or dashed plastic. I am using heatshield to protect from sun and everytime when I put or take it out I am super careful for not to cause damage. It might also cause problems when you clean your windshield from inside.

Just be careful if you are using heatshield or cleaning your windshield.

Probably no one has looked at the mesh that closely. I'd have to get my head way over the dash to see that. Ignorance is bliss
This is what I use to clean the glass: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0017K69MA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works great.

I got a defective (cracked) plastic mesh. The crack is easily hideable by aligning both ends of the plastic, and that's how I received the delivery, and missed the defects. 2 weeks after delivery, I noticed the crack, and they refuse to cover it under warranty. They said you have to report any defects noticed within 3 days of delivery.

Not sure “why” they used tha cloth mesh, as well. Seems the sun might play havoc with it, over time, especially being up close to the bottom of the windshield (?)

Same 'defect' on mine. I think mine happened after service replaced the windshield though... Too minor to bring up the the SC. Thankfully I have made friends with it so it doesn't bother me anymore when I look at it.

I was in a rush the other night and tossed my FasTrak transponder with velcro on the dash as I switched from S to 3. The velcro adhered to the mesh. I pulled it off when I got home not thinking and now I have half dozen pill points on the mesh. Bugs me to no end since it's in my line of site. Will wait for when I need to service to hopefully have replaced.
