Roof Color Change in Rain (please see photos)

[TT97]

Hi, I was thinking that might be a possibility. When I ordered mine, there were two in stock with my spec, so I took the older one. Maybe it was much older?? Now I'm worried, why was this one still sitting around in all the frenzy? LOL...
VIN 146XXX (Did I do that right? I'm such a n00b! Not to msg boards, but just to Tesla.)
Thanks.

VIN is not an indication of manufacturing date as they jump around, however, if you look at the sticker in your door, the manufacturing month/year is in the top left corner.

mine is 12/18 and only the front section. i'm going to bring it up because i'd rather have the entire top the same, either way. it looks messed up to me without it on the back window.
if i have to buy it, fine. but still, kinda peeved about it.

My 10/18 build only has the front panel UV, friend who has a 12/18 build has full UV front and rear. Seems Tesla flip flopped again on the glass

My understanding from another thread on the forum is that all the cars have UV/IR glass roofs. They use I thought 3 glass manufacturers and the manufacturers use different material, thus the color difference. But no doubt you have full UV on both your front and rear roof glass panels.

12/18/18 build and mine goes half way down rear glass.

These two cars are 10 vin apart and have different rear glasses.

yep, something funky going on. my 12/18 LEMR only had it on the front (155xxx) but my 12/18 LR AWD (188xxx) has it on both.

added bonus, if you tint the back window, the rainbow goes all the way down to the trunk.

All, I realize I am late to the conversation here. I picked up my car in 11/2018 and I have a partial red roof when it is wet. I took to service center and they said they didn't see what I was talking about so my husband left with it. I have put in another service request and have tried to upload photos but app doesn't take them. So am I being to picky? I really don't mind the red if it were on the entire roof, as it is... it looks defective or like something spilled on it. Any help is appreciated...

if you are being picky, so am i. i ended up trading my partial roof car back in for a DM that had both roof panels the same color.
