Gap between rubber seal on glass roof
- Thread starter AndrewVo
- Start date
Did you get any resolution?
Aside from spiders? My useless sound seal is getting wedges under the corner of the glass...

Yes, Tesla replace my glass roof as well as my windshield. Not sure why they replaced my windshield as well. My guess is they damaged it while replacing the roof. It all works out for me because I had micro rock chips on my windshield!

My car has this issue in the same place, there is wind noise and whistling coming from that area, I can put clear tape over it and the noise disappears completely. Have is scheduled to go in the SC next week.

I thought all Model 3s had this gap... isn't that where these "noise reduction kits" get installed?

To be honest cleaning the car last night I kind of want that 'noise reducuction' kit just to keep dirt out of there. It is quite a pain to get down in there to clean it.

Tesla sent me a message not to come in for my scheduled appointment, they are waiting for parts to arrive to correct this problem. They have never seen my car so they seemed to be aware of this issue and have some part on order to correct, are they shooting in the dark or is the more common than we know?
Seems like a common problem. For at least Costa Mesa SC. When I explained the problem to SC, the guy knew exactly where the seal gap issue was.

I made a post not too long ago about a gap that kinda looks like yours.
Should I be worried? The census in my thread was to not worry about it.
But if it's known then maybe I should bring it in?

I'd bring it to SC and have them check it out.I made a post not too long ago about a gap that kinda looks like yours.

Update, slow misty rain most of today, wet headliner, and B Piller Cover. Air leak = water leak. Made an appointment for Tuesday, still waiting on parts I guess. If they can't replace "whatever" on Tuesday I am going to ask them to squirt some goop/sealant in that area for now.

Pickup up the car today, they showed me pics, about 12 inches of daylight between the glass and the steel above the headliner. They could not believe this car passed inspection at the factory.....12 inches of "No Sealant"

This is my biggest concern when we take delivery.
Probably the first thing that I would check, and was thinking that I would reject the car if roof panels were not flush where they met. Interesting to see that they could be replaced. How did you find the process and any negatives - ie damaged, dirtied or mis fitting parts on reassembly? I would like to think that glass panel fit is now perfect - would like to think its been done by trained humans to a high standard?
I closely checked over a euro version today - the flush fit between the two panels was OK, if anything the front panel was fractionally higher but I guess thats better than the rear being higher. Front panel gap was quite nice either side, but rear one was much tighter - then I checked the other side and quite a large gap, so it was probably 5mm off to one side. Not as good as us Europeans expect if buying German and surprisingly even not as good as my current Italian mule. Tricky one. Am I expecting too much? I would expect a car at this price point to be nigh on perfect. Maybe thats the difference between a premium sector European and American built car?
