Weatherstrip Gap Between Roof/Back Window

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
Hello there!

I just got my Model 3 last week and I absolutely love it. I did notice there appears to be a small gap between the weatherstripping between the roof and back glass (on the drivers side).

I’ve attached two pictures showing the small gap.

The passenger side appears to be perfect and there is no gap...picture also attached for comparison.

Should I be concerned about water leaking in? And does anyone else have have pictures of theirs for comparison?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. I've seen some pretty wide variation in those seals, and even the alignment of the glass pieces. I'm assuming any water that gets under there just runs down to the back of the car where it eventually drains out.
