New information from my Tesla tech. The burned defroster on some model 3 were because of a defective batch of backglass. Tesla is aware of the issue. Maybe it will be warranted.

Warning....Warning... Tesla have issue a warning to some window film manufacturers. This was issue to 3M.....The computer is located below the A-Pillar and will get damage if liquid touch the pcu. They have state that it cost them over 10k to replace for some Tesla owner. So be careful guys.... It is a design flaw that they will be changing due to this. We have alway took the extra precautions when doing windshield and we have done 4 Model 3 and have been lucky....cross my finger.

I never have issues with comebacks for roll ups, but I've had 3 Tesla model 3's come back for peeling tint at the lower front of each rear door. Is there an issue I'm not aware of?

Did another model 3 over the weekend, and one of the doors, the window remains all the way up even with the latch open as if the door is open, preventing me from shutting the door vs how it should be down slightly and roll back up the last little bit upon shutting the door. If I roll the window down, I can then shut the door, then roll the window up. Once you have the door shut and window rolled up, if you go to open the door from inside or out, when you grab the handle or button the window rolls down the little bit for the door to open but then the window goes right back up to fully closed. Very strange. Anyone have any ideas?

Mods move this if this aint the right spot. Hoping for more exposure. Tesla Model Y front windshield rear view mirror removal. Some models come with twist off some have a t20 bolt. Well Tesla impeccable quality control sometimes they put too much blue locktite. This bolt snapped off. The assembly is not sold separately and its one whole camera assembly that’s probably gonna require calibration. Cha ching. If it feels too tight dont take it off and decline the job or if you’re extra frisky you can probably take a soldering iron to heat up the bolt to lessen the locktite. There’s 6 T bolts that you can take the bracket off and reverse drill the bolt out which is what I did…

Front door latches must be tricked to have front windows bump up. 1/4 windows easy. Car doors act funny and wont close automatically when latches are popped back to normal closing position. Car has to be reset to get doors working properly again.

We had our first Tesla Model 3 in and it was not as difficult as it looks, We spent 6 hours from start to finish and that included tinting all the windows including the full rear screen and the second part to the roof, i have attached a couple before and after pictures. What do you charge for this kind of work?

We tinted a tesla model 3 and locked the automatic windows and then scratched the top chrome window trim with the window. Has this happened to anyone else? Any place to re order just that trim?

We recently tinted a Tesla Model 3, full back windshield in 1 piece, and the customer noticed some small white dots or holes start to emerge throughout the top middle portion of the back glass. They brought it back so we could take a look, and it appears to be in the glass. The tint film appears to be fine. I've attached a photo. Anyone else ever see anything like this? Appreciate any feedback.

I looked through this section before posting in the ask a pro section because I only saw 2 total threads in this section, and the last comment on the Tesla Model S thread was in 2015. If anyone paying attention to this section has special knowledge of Tesla tinting, I'd appreciate it if you could provide any information I should be considering when selecting a film for my car. I can then look for a reputable installer that uses that film and follows recommended procedures. Thanks in advance.

Question, factory tinted windows and damage to eyes ????
Automotive glass has evolved in the past couple of decades. It is spotty throughout the auto industry as to non-laminated glass that screens UV. Personally, I spent days going around car lots about 12-14 years ago using an EDTM 2450 meter to measure solar rejection performance, including UV. New models' privacy glass did have the capacity to screen a substantial amount of UV rays. Hell, even the front door glass (non-privacy) of a Cadillac screened a substantial amount of UV. It truly surprised me, so I went back to my desk and began searching through glass makers' performance values (what they would share that is). There were statements of UV protection and other (general) statements said, their glass protects the car interior. I'm sure a member of this site might have that meter, whereby they could do the same on car lots, after receiving permission from the dealer's manager. It is always better to be safe rather than sorry by having window film applied knowing all major brands screen 99%+ of the sun's UV rays.- 2

Question, factory tinted windows and damage to eyes ????
Hi guys. I have read somewhere that factory tinted windows can damage the eyes (I can't find back this article) , because they do not have good enough UV protection, especially if it is tempered glass and not laminated glass. As in many countries, there is a requirement for a certain UV protection in sunglasses. How will this be with the glasses in the car? I don't think it's possible to protect against uva rays without any layer of film. The problem is that if the glass is darker with not uva protection, the eye lets in more light, if there is too little UV coverage in the glass, this can lead to damage to the eye. UVA, UVB, and UVC rays can lead to cataracts, macular degeneration, photokeratitis, and more. Over 24 million Americans over 40 suffer from cataracts alone. From google, The first rule of thumb is to choose sunglasses that provide 100% UVA/UVB protection. Think about it, people have kids in the back seat, they look at the sun for hours while driving... What do we think about this? -
