Epidemic of Model 3 small window break-ins

[rsunny2012]

how much would be the approximate price for the labor and mirror replacement ?
my insurance deductible is $1000

Before going through your insurance, I'd get a quote from the service center on replacing the glass. If it's only a few hundred just pay out of pocket... why make your rates go up over a small claim?

Ugh, that sucks! Nothing you can do to avoid bad people. Hope you can get it resolved quickly.

i approached tesla authorized body shop. they said they can rpelace the glass for $469 + Tax. looks like reasonable price. i asked them to change it. i will tell my experience after they have replaced the glass

Where did it happen?

tape a razor blade onto the seat release handle... then you'll get some DNA next time.

Hello,

today i went to a movie theater and after coming from movie theater, i see that my rear window glass has been broken and back seat has been folded down. i am not sure whether someone trying to break in the car or it just broken on its own. Please see the below pictures and kindly suggest me the next steps

PS: i have already emailed the pictures to tesla service center

Huh? Why would the glass break AND the seat fold down on their own???

This has reached epidemic proportions in SF and some other areas. I now always fold my seats down when I park out in the open so they can see that there's nothing in the trunk.

you're looking at ~$200 for the glass piece, $100-200 labor, and whatever that chrome piece cost.

i got it fixed. Authorized body shop was very friendly and fixed it in 40 minutes. they have replaced the mirror

 

[rsunny2012]

buddy this is the first time happened to me in my 15 years of driving. how would i know how did this happen. after seeing messages from other users i confirmed its a break in
since its very expensive car, i panicked initially after seeing the glass

Huh? Why would the glass break AND the seat fold down on their own???

You should see if they have surveillance footage of the parking lot. Did you report to police or the theater? They usually like to know these things so they can increase security etc.

 

[rsunny2012]

i dint reported to anyone. i might talk to theater management today.

this may be a stupid question, but does the alarm not go off when that little triangle window is broken?

 

[rsunny2012]

i dont think so it went off. i think i dint enabled it in the car

Alarm is triggered on opening doors, trunk, frunk. No glass break sensor.
