Leaky Window Seals

[DropkickDave73]

Anyone having the same drafty seals on the rear seat windows? (both sides). Living in Michigan, it gets cold here....it seems like the seals are not adequate for driving 70mph down the freeway when its below 20 degrees F. Very drafty, and loud. Anyone have any potential solutions or know if this is a warranty issue (yet)?

I can hear air coming in the rear seat window behind the driver. When I reach around I can feel the cold air. Arms are not long enough to check passenger side. lol.

same here.....seems to me that a $90k+ truck should have proper seals. I did notice that the thickness of the window glass actually sticks out a bit so the front edge of the glass is getting direct wind from the side.....at high speeds I dont believe the existing seals are adequate to create a proper seal.....

I was driving on a cold night with a friend and he told me he felt cold air coming in from the rear passenger side when going over 50-60mph. It's on my list of things to make a service appt for.

First Tesla? X and Model 3 had similar problems.

Was it from the dash? Have a SC appt this week to review.

Was on my X and on the driver side pillars; was fixed by replacing some seals. I don’t have the specifics on it though as I got rid of the X for the cyber truck

The cold air is coming in from the rear passenger door. There's a noticeable sound too.

Mine is the rear passenger door too and only started when it got cold.

Same here, I'm not sure if it started because of the cold like from the ice freezing/expanding or if I just was able to notice it when the temps got so cold. Regardless, I'm hoping it's a quick easy fix. My last car was a Ram 1500 that I leased for 3 years. I was constantly bringing it to the dealer for some type of air leak that was causing a whistling sound. In the 3 years I had it it never fully got fixed. Thinking about also getting some of those rubber seal kits to help with air leaks and reduce noise.

The frameless-window design makes seal alignment difficult. Even extending them a millimeter or two would slam the glass and make the door difficult to close.

There’s probably a window pitch/yaw adjustment, but I don’t really have enough of an issue to justify the disassembly. Plus, I’m lazy.

yes have this same issue. extremely annoying happens more often when it's colder! Honestly just me give a framed door I want functionality not luxury. Cybercab has a solid roof which is what I want also. So framed doors and solid roof, pure functionality. Wish Tesla would do this..

No, actually. Wife has a Model S....I guess they are a bit drafty during the winter too....

I've got an appointment set up and have asked them to address it, but I'm wondering what the solution is and if they will beef up the seals etc....
