Window crap.

Put the rear window down this morning and it made some weird noise. Putting it back up dragged this with it. What is it? I'm assuming I need to go to the SC (which is sad because I just got it back).

Inside door moisture barrier. the sticky part faces outwards. Pop of inner door panel and stick it back on. The stuff never dries out or hardens. Just messed with the stuff on a 10 year old Dodge when changing window motor.

From the size of it, that looks like the moisture barrier for the pop-out door handle mechanism.

Yea that looks like the rubber seal that protects the door handle mechanism from the elements. Tesla Service ranger performed a door handle replacement on my car a few weeks ago and that piece was ripped out and replaced. I found it in my backseat after the job was done.

Yeah, mine had stuff on the window like that a couple times. It has gone in twice to fix that. Same window.

Thanks folks, scheduled an appointment.

Butyl rubber with too low a melting point. Why it only happned on one window, and why not last summer, is the baffling part. I had a ranger visit a few months ago to fix it. Took the door apart, cleaned off the gunk, replaced the seal. Took about an hour.

Yup, same thing. SC took care of it for me under warranty.
