Hi there, ever since I took deliver of my model 3 I noticed pretty bad wind noise from the passenger side window area. Since I usually was the driver, I didn’t really pay attention to it. A couple of days ago, i sat in the passenger seat when my child drove the car, and found the wind noise unbearable. It sounded like the window seal didn’t work. But the glass seemed to be all the way up.
After I got home I took a close look at both the driver side and the passenger side window glass. I noticed the driver side window glass went all the way up and pushed into the seal above it so much the top of glass literally went into the seal. The passenger side window glass however didnt go all the way up. When I kept holding the switch up, the glass went up, touched the seal, stopped and retracted a bit. The top of the glass didn’t compress the seal It sorta just sat there next to the seal. That’s probably how the wind noise comes in. I am attaching two pictures here. First one is of the passenger side window glass. It doesn’t go into seal. So it sits lower than the driver side window glass. One can see the upper left corner (curves) of the glass in the picture. Second pictures is of the driver side window. The glass is all the way up and into the seal. The corner is in the seal and not visible. I think this is the root cause of many Teslas having excessive wind noise.
I made an appointment with Tesla sc but it is one month out. Meanwhile I am wounding if anyone here knows if i can force the glass up manually somehow?
