Does anyone else’s hatch leak like this?

[Jschoef]

I’m talking about the indents and the water on the inside of the gasket…

Take it to the Service Center and get them to fix it. Shouldn't be leaking like that.

It’s scheduled…just seeing how common it is.

Mine leaked also (not to that extent though). My frunk also had some small damp areas whenever it rains. When I showed it to the SC, I was given the typical lazy answer of "it's normal and within spec." Yah I'm sure it is.
Hopefully you'll get better answers than me.

They said they are giving me a loner car. They also said I could play with the bumper stops to see if it helps. I did notice the ones that go into the indents, only 1 actually touches. I actually removed them to see what happens. It stopped raining of course so I wont have an answer for a bit if removing them helps. I know it’s coming from upwards highway driving spray.

Update, I tested and no matter what adjustments the bumper on the right side would hit but not the left. I then removed both and the leak is gone and all seems even/true when closed. I will let Tesla know and see what they said. They did tell me to try playing with bumper adjustments originally.

Interesting - I saw that on my two-week old MY, but wondered if some snow and ice had fallen in. I will keep a closer eye out on that from now on - thanks for the pic!

I’m still watching it. I went into the hatch afterwards today and watched it close with the bumpers installed and they don’t look like they even touch. I’m not convinced it’s fixed yet and will need more inclement weather. I might have another possible test tomorrow morning.

Still leaks, will have to see what Tesla can do because I am out of options.

Jschoef: there are 4 bump stops that support the hatch when closed. If the upper 2 bump stops (midway up the side of the hatch) are extended out too far, they'll prevent the lower bump stops from contacting.

There are several threads about adjusting the bump stops. Maybe this one will help:

Model Y rattle - anybody has similar problem?

My similar rattle was related to some cables, I believe the ones which connect to the rear seat fold release. It was fixed after my 3rd SC visit. Vin 058###.

Adjusting the stops inward might correct your water leaking. However, if the hatch isn't supported evenly/correctly, it will pulse (buffet?) while driving over rough pavement, creating some uncomfortable ear issues.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I’ve already messed with those. The left one needs to be recessed all the way and the right one needs to be out halfway to make the panel gas go away.
