Driver side window not flush with b pillar

[Jazza]

Anyone had the same issue and got it fixed by tesla service?

If it's a new car it will settle in as the gasket breaks in.

Mine was the same.

If it doesn't, I'm sure Tesla will take care of it. I'd put in a service request now though, that way you lock in a record of the problem.

It got gradually worse and became more noticeable over time. The car currently has just shy of 13000 miles on it. I have submitted a service request and booked an appointment for next week. Any idea what Tesla service might do to rectify the issue?

If you roll up the window, it's not flush with B-pillar ?

no it still isnt.

How's the door alignment? Does the striker plate need to be moved inward a bit?

Does the window slide into the channel at the top?

no it still isnt.

Could you take a photo that show flush of doors at b pillar.

As far as I know, door alignment is flush. I am not sure about the striker plate position but it doesnt look too bad compared to the passenger side.
Window slides into the channel for now; I am worried it may not later on if the glass pane somehow protrudes more.

Driver side vs passenger side

Jazza: Still can't tell how the window sits.

We need 2 more photos (driver's and passenger's side), with your camera/phone up against the rear window, looking forward, to show how the window sits against the rubber seal.

how about these photos?

Wow. It's still really hard to see exactly what you're talking about. Thanks for the updated photos.

If you zoon in on picture #1 you will see the edge of the double laminated door glass (just right of the mirror). If the window was flush with the B pillar, you would not be able to see the edge of the window.

HAHA! I just checked BOTH my doors, and I can see the edge of the laminated glass on both of them. In fact, my driver's side glass protrudes similar to the OP's window.

Since it is the following, and not the leading, edge, it is not a problem. It's not even a cosmetic issue, as far as I'm concerned. It seals, it doesn't whistle...

On mine it was sticking out lake the OPs when new, but as the gasket settled inn now It's almost flush. I don't think it will ever be completely flush because I think the gasket was deigned for the original non laminated glass, which is a little thinner.

I do however consider the OPs issue to be a cosmetic problem, as it's sticking out pretty far, but I agree, if it's not leaking air or water past the gasket, it's not a functional issue.

I have taken 2 pictures from below and towards the roof of the b-pillar, against a window scraper, both sides are completely level with the b-pillar.

Find this tread, check it out. Front Window adjustment

Tesla service fixed the issue under warranty. Not sure how they fixed it but apparently the technician had to just move the window forward a bit.
