First rain of the season outside and inside the car.

[skatefriday]

Model 3 purchased Oct 2019. We had our first rain of the season overnight and when I went out to the car this morning there was a puddle on the center console. Looked up and the headliner near the rear view mirror is damp and slightly detached in the driver side as compared to the passenger side. The water must have came from up there.

Is this a known/common issue? How difficult is it to fix? What should I expect from the service center (who can't see me for two full weeks).

You really need a Tesla service center to deal with such an issue.

Just lol, and make sure you sign your waiver of arbitration

The first rain of the season after the first hot summer. And we didn't get much in the way of rain last year. This is Los Angeles in an extended drought.

There was a Model Y or two that had same issues. But those roofs also likely flew off on the highway.

Somewhere on this forum I remember reading someone found out there MY rook leaked after going through a car wash!

You forget the one that was either late November or early December - there was one the lasted less then this one but was much more energetic?

Hadn't heard of that problem. My 18 sat in it yesterday but thankfully dry when I got off the train

Here's a tip: PHOTOGRAPH all of the leaks and water issues. Helps at the SC, especially if they can't duplicate the problem . . . .

My car was ok after 1 day in the Valley.

Sorry to hear you had a leak.

Free convertible?

In my confusion as to why there was water on my center console, I didn't think to do that. It's pretty easy to see however where the headliner has detached near the center left of the windshield. I suppose the problem would be if they just reglued that to the windshield but didn't find the actual leak I'd just have a constantly wet headliner.
