Tesla Roadster 2nd gen Tonneau cover seal 1000005650


This is the only issue I have had after a months ownership.

I'm sure I can put a service request in but if there is DIY fix please chime in.

I've tried double sided tape but the heat these days is not kind to the glue on the tape and it keeps coming loose.

The left side is perfect, so I'm guessing there are some clips missing on the right.

Anyone else have this issue and have any suggestions from keeping it come loose?

I had the same issue at the top. I removed the old tape, cleaned where it will attach, added new 3M tape and held tightly for about 90 seconds. If it comes loose again, I’ll make a service appointment. Been good for months now.

Did you apply the 3M tape from underneath (from inside the vault) or from the top where it's come loose?

My plan was to install the double sided tape from underneath, inside the vault so it's protected from the elements.

I had a few inches of this come loose on the bottom exactly like this.

What I did was use some gorilla glue 2 part clear epoxy and re-attached the section. I carefully cleaned the underside a bit with some isopropyl alcohol and then with a toothpick I dabbed a tiny bit of epoxy onto the existing double sided tape and re-secured it.

If you do this, just be cautious not to detach more of the weather stripping else you'll have more to glue.

had same issue, put in a service request. After taking a look at it in person, the parts manager ordered the whole appliqué. Apparently the rubber seal is not a standalone part. Also it just adheres to the bottom of the appliqué, there’s no clips.
