Hey everyone!
Joel here, I have a Tesla Model 3, and have driven about 30000 miles on it, and over the past 10000 miles I have noticed that my headrest has started to bubble. I don't use any hair product.
Now I have some theories, that I want to propose. If anyone else has this issue, please let me know if any of these factors are true for you:
I wear glasses
I used anti dandruff shampoo (Head and Shoulders, or Nizoral shampoo )
I live in the Bay Area and park in a carport
I drive a lot, with my head actually against the headrest.
One theory I have is that the light is being amplified by the side mirror causing the melting of the vinyl. This could be the case given that the side mirrors are angled to be focused on the head rest(so I can see them when I drive). But a counter is they fold in when I park.
Another theory is my glasses are amplifying the light... but my head is in the way.
My last theory is that perhaps I am not getting all of the shampoo out of my hair, and that, that possibly some residue is causing it. Though I have heard of people who were bald having the issues, so I don't know...
Any other thoughts? does anyone else have this issues also do the following above?
You can see a photo I took when I first noticed it(June), and a photo of it recently(September)
