After reading several threads about the crap on the windshield it appears that two different issues are being described, so please help me here. Does it look like glitter when the sun hits the windshield at the right angle or is it like soap scum? Mine looks like glitter in the sun and some of it tiny white specs otherwise. It seems to be getting worse.
Also one poster said he waited 6 months after getting his new car to allow for the “degassing” of the windshield before trying to get this gunk off. What’s that about?
Another poster said he complained enough to Tesla about the glitter that they finally replaced his windshield.
Has anyone documented this issue and filed it with Tesla?
If this is a regular issue with random cars Tesla needs to do something about it.
I have tried several glass cleaners, steel wool and alcohol (recommended by a race car driver), soft bar keepers scrub and clay bar/clay lube all suggested by this group or
Tesla service people. Nothing seems to work. This really seems to be IN THE GLASS not on the glass.
I hear that glass polish with a orbital sander works, then one has to use a glass sealer. This scares me.
Has anyone solved this problem by going to a detailer?
I am having a hell of a time trying to get a picture of this crap. I am going to try a night photo with a light shining through the glass.
I would like to collect any data anyone has about this issue and take it to Tesla.
Thx M
