Baggy front passenger door seal anyone?

[Aaronalex]

Hi all. Can you share a pic of the lower seal on your M3 front passenger door? Mine was detached at the bottom on delivery last year unlike the same seal on the drivers side that was nice and snug.

SC saw it and ordered me a new seal, but when it went on the new one is exactly the same, resulting I'm my first "within tolerance" response. They say they are all like this, so if you could help me validate that statement, I'll stop worrying about it... thanks in advance.

Seal on my passenger door was like that on delivery. Didn't spot it until I got home. I just pushed it back on (it was still sticky). Haven't checked recently, but I think it's still attached. It it does come off again, I'll just use some contact adhesive on it.

Yep, mine was like that and I stuck it back on using this:

3M™ Black Super Weatherstrip Adhesive | 3M United States

Yeah mine is like that on both passenger side doors. Do have a SC appointment for a replacement, that I’ve delayed under the current circumstances, but was tempted to fix it myself with weatherstrip adhesive. I’ll probably do the self fix now if there’s a chance the replacements will be the same.

Likewise, I was puting on some additional door seals. Not something you'd really notice unless you were "down there"

Same on mine at the back, mobile appointment is replacing it next week, most of the stickiness has gone/never was there in the first place.

Just as a data point, other manufacturers don't seem to regard this as a warrant item either...

You used to be able to rely on Tesla being better than Ford at least but not so much these days.

It is an easy fix though if you do have to do it your self.

Had the same on passenger side; Tesla fixed without any quibble. No problems since.

I had exactly the same. A ranger visited with a new seal and replaced it. Great response and no fuss

This is not acceptable, do not accept any "within tolerance" sh1t. I am sure most manufacturers with a quality product don't rely on stick on seals. Going to check mine now!

2 of mine are hanging off, after 2 weeks ownership. No wonder we have wind noise. These seals are not pressed when door closed, they have to roll into the frame like an 'O' ring.

Other manufacturers dont fall off after a couple of weeks! I take back what I said yesterday. Self adhesive seals are quite common even on high end cars and they dont fall off..full stop. Tesla walk all over you. Maybe in the US but not in the UK.

After a couple of weeks, no, that is completely unacceptable.

After 3 years, yes, I've seen that with other brands

Mark, thanks for your support. This is not getting the attention it deserves. Everyone go check your seals it could be the cause of your wind noise.

Exactly this on Sunday! Never thought to raise it here, assumed It was a one-off!

Just giving mine its clean up and ceramic treatment yesterday and noticed that the seal on the driver's door was 'drooping'. Pushed it back in place - still quite sticky and still in place today after more door opening/closing. The driver's door has always seemed to need a heavier push to close properly compared with the passenger side (that too needed a bit of attention to the seal).

Also noticed that the odd triangular plastic bits in the corner of the windscreen/bonnet lid were loose. Managed to fit the nearside in its clip but there was nothing behind it on driver's side to fit it to! - see pic - guess I should send this to 'Service'
