Driver's door trim bump...is this normal?

[Gavram]

Does everyone else have this lump in the driver's side window trim? The outer trim doesn't fit well over it so I thought I'd check.

I've had a service request in since Feb to attempt to adjust the outer trim so that it lines up with the rear door trim but the service call keeps getting pushed out.

I have the same bump. Saw another 22 S that didn't have the bump. Service appointment scheduled to try and fix it

I have the same bump...I found there was a block of rubber trim in there...I put it back since I assume it was there to force a tighter seal. Mine is 2022 (late December build). Let us what they say on your service appointment.

Any update on this? I just saw I have the same issue Dec 2022 Model S

Just went through this. check out the attached photo. There is a 1" long rectangle designed to keep the window from rattling. It will work its way up as the window goes up and down. It will eventually push through the top of the seal and fall to the ground. Tesla mobile service can come and replace it, but when they came the guy told me the new trim doesn't even have that rectangle on it anymore. Tesla modified it in later designs because of this exact issue. I have no window rattles so I told him not to replace it.

Dec 2022, you must mean Dec 2021.

most model S refresh that I have seen have this. I assume it is normal. My 21' and now my 22' have this. I wouldn't mess with it. It might potentially create new unwanted headaches later on with your door seals and rattles.

if its not broken, dont fix it.
