Panoramic Roof Scratch

[ziggyzog]

Hi

I picked up a new Model 3 this week, however upon collection noticed a scratch on the rear panoramic roof. It's a couple of centimetres long but noticeable to my wife. This was pointed out to the Tesla staff member who agreed it was a scratch and to raise a service request. A detailer also looked at it at the time thinking it was just sticky from the covering during transport but couldn't get it off.

I've now raised a service request and Tesla has agreed to replace the glass free of charge.

However, I'm unsure whether replacing the factory-fitted panoramic roof for such a small scratch is a good idea. After replacement, I don't want more issues with potential leaks or damage caused by replacing the glass.

I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this or has any thoughts?

Thanks

I wouldn’t do it. I don’t think your local service center will do as good a job installing the new glass roof as was done in the factory.

I have had glass replaced in the past. It wasn't a big deal and there were no signs that it had happened. Given that, I wouldn't do it if it didn't bother me. But if it does then go ahead
