Water leak in 2013 Model S with no roof

[eprius]

I have a 2013 Tesla S with no roof that is currently leaking. Any ideas where it might be coming from? Here are some photos. This vehicle has 40k on it and has never been in an accident. Garaged all it's life. The top part is an old water stain that never seems to be wet. The part where my finger is pointing is the only part where I can feel it. Any ideas?

I have an appointment for next Monday at Tesla for the exact same leaking. Passenger side of my solid roof 2014 P85 with 31k miles. I had it in the rain for 4 hours and when I got in the car there were water stains at the A, B and C pillars.

Yes, mine had the same issue. There is a seal there that goes back and it leaks through the rear. I found it because my car was in an accident and that area was repaired, so they looked at it out of caution vs the warranty they offered on the repairs. I now know it to be unrelated, but they did fix it for me.

Blodg, please let me know what Tesla has to say about your situation.

Exact same leak in my 2013 TMS, starting Wednesday. Starts by the light, and flows backwards and down the c-pillar. I have the pano roof, but I’ve tested all the drains and gaskets, all look fine. An update would be nice!

I just bought a used 2015 Model S 85 "no roof" and it has this very leak. What did it end up costing to repair? I don't have a warranty so I'm looking at a ball-park to plan for when it goes into service in two weeks. It rained on the day I bought it, and by the time I noticed the stain it was already dry, so I wasn't sure if it was an old repaired leak stain that I just hadn't seen, or a new leak. I poured pitchers of water all over the roof and no leak, so I took it through a cheap basic car wash to see if it leaked again and it did per the other picture. So my guess is it's coming in somewhere near the front and channeling down to the back light? Anyway, any information you could all give would be great, in case it's something I can repair myself.

You’ll need to take it to a body shop. Have them remove the chrome and replace it with properly sealing attached. That was the repair for mine. No pricing because it was warranty. Probably around $1500? Those stains won’t come out of that type of headliner. I have Alcantara and once dried you can’t tell there was leaking.

My 2014 P 85 no roof is in the shop now for the same type of water leak. It rained super hard over the weekend and water came pouring through the driver side close to the mirror light fixture. The Tesla mechanic said it was my roof soundproof seals at first. He called today and said it is the windshield seal.

This is how it looked

I have my Model S back from the Tesla service center. The bill was covered by the warranty. The front windshield sealant needed replaced.

Can you explain where exactly this front windshield sealant repair was done please? Any specifics would help a lot of us

Thank you

Any update on this??

NickWaze, this is a 3 year old post. He probably doesn't even own the car now. It was most likely the windshield that leaked.
