I just had a full PPF + ceramic and tint done at a local installer. I was very excited to pick up the car, but unfortunately it's now making very loud sounds in the following scenarios:
Unlocking the car and opening any door.
Opening the truck.
Putting the car into park.
Here's some video links to illustrate:
I had all side windows and the rear window tinted. I started to suspect that in the process of the rear window tint, moisture got into the electronics. I took the car to my local service center, who noticed the rear hatch speaker looking like this:
The car is now at the service center awaiting further diagnostics, but the tech that looked at it stated that if the damage was caused by the tinting, the repair costs will be out-of-pocket.
I've communicated all of this to the shop who worked on my car, and the owner has stated that they will take care of whatever needs to be done to get this resolved. I am worried that there may be damage done to the car's electronics that may not be apparent yet, but might cause a malfunction later. I'm also worried that Tesla may say that my warranty has been voided. I don't want to share information about the vendor until all is said and done, but I did want to get advice on how best to proceed.
