Windshield seal flew out

[Jhodgesatmb]

We just drove from the Bay Area to Denver in what I, as a coastal resident, would call blistering heat. Three days in the high 90s. Yesterday, heading north on I25 just south of Pueblo, CO we were driving with FSD on Standard (speed limit 75) we heard a loud bang up front. I pulled over and got out to survey the damage and found the right windshield seal flipping in the wind. About 18” of it. It was still attached above that. We checked the other side and it was still attached but it seemed a little gummy. We checked the other seals just in case and one of the tonneaux seals was loose near the top. Not knowing how this might affect the windshield we dropped down to Chill and found some duct tape at a local store in Pueblo, and set up an appointment at Tesla in Denver.

has anyone else experienced this? Is it heat related? How does the seal affect the windshield? Was duct tape even a viable bandaid?

My guess is that it’s heat related. Submit a service request ASAP.

Have you ever created a service ticket to address the panel gap and misaligned can-trail? It looks like I can stick my thumb in the fender to hood gap.

What year? What series of VIN?

That bang sound probably was the Cantrail popping that caused the seal to separate.

Cantrail as said . Huge gap

Was that a re install Cantrail as per recall or original ?
