Sticky Residue on Weather Stripping

[M4H4X]

How do I safely remove this without damaging the weatherstrip? Looks like just some excess glue from the window triangle weather stripping:

I had the same problem and used something like Goo Gone. Unfortunately it pulled so hard on my window tint on the small window that it needs to be redone.

I had the exact same problem!!!!! The residue is pulling my window tint on that triangle window area. I found out early enough so I cleaned up the residue with alcohol wipe. Now I use scotch tape to cover the edge of my window tint at that area. Hopefully the tint is still sticky enough so I don't have to redo it.

Let me know how you clean it. Alcohol wipe works to certain degree but the rubber surface is still sticky. It is pulling my window tint which drive me nuts.

Same thing happened to me, pulled my tint off and it’s as if the sticky stuff is in the stripping. I tried scraping it off and it started taking the rubber off. I put a piece of electrical tape on there for now and it’s fine. Nice craftsmanship for a $130k+ car.

Same issue. I think the glue has degraded the rubber, and it can’t be cleaned off. I just cleaned up triangular glass so it wouldn’t get worse.

Same here but only on my passenger side. Was pulling my tint back. Caught it early. Rubbing alcohol combined with a razor blade to just skim a fraction of a millimeter off and that seemed to solve the stickiness.

i have the same issue and the temperature outside is still mild, imagine in summer. Now, the rubber seal is ripped, should i let tesla knows for servce ?

This should be serviced. My fixed glass panels had janky seal on passenger and driver sides. Got both replaced by mobile service.
