A local cat likes to climb under and on my model 3, often to get a better view of nesting birds (or just when the car is warm after use). It sometimes gets its claws in the gap between the glass and the bodywork when climbing up or down from the car.
Last year it cracked the roof glass, and just to prove it wasn’t a fluke it has now done the same to the windshield. I definitely know it’s a cat because I caught it on camera and there are paw prints next to the damage.
Obviously this is becoming expensive. I presume I need to install a rubber seal in the gap, although I read some negative reviews of these and I think some were a little oversized and thus difficult to install or maybe put extra stress on the glass?
It would be interesting to know if they’ve eliminated this gap on the new model 3.
I’d appreciate any ideas or tips. I suppose I could wax the car to make it slippery, but I’m disabled and so just cleaning it is enough of a task and I’d like a permanent solution. Thanks.
