So I just had my windshield replaced by Tesla.
The new windshield looks good, aligned nicely etc. But once I drove it away I immediately noticed two things.
1) Wind noise was drastically higher than before
2) The wipers are not parking correctly. With one seemingly being too high.
The wipers themselves I think I can fix myself as there is an easily accessible bolt to adjust the wiper angle. They currently look like this:
The wiper on the left in this photo seems to be fine but the one on the right is clearly too high.
Before I do anything though, I wanted to check are those small plastic pieces on the side of the windscreen loose on anyone else's car?
Mine no longer touch the trim, and I think that this could definitely be contributing to the wind noise (though I'm sure the majority of it is due to the wiper position).
Could anyone post a couple pics of the area shown below at the corner of the windshield on their car?
Can anyone provide feedback on what these pieces are currently like on their car?
Are they adhered to the trim, against it firmly, against it but loose etc?
I'll probably go ahead and adjust the wipers myself but honestly I'm pretty annoyed about these trim pieces if anything just for aesthetic reasons
