2023 Model 3 RWD Cracked Rear Tinted Window at defroster warrenty advice
Hey all hope you are staying warm and out of all that snow that has blanked the Northeast as of late. I am writing to you all from Oralando Florida with a rear window warranty issue. As many have experienced, I have a lovely crack that has now engulfed both sides of my clear window. I bought my model 3 with 30k miles in it about 4 months ago. It was already tinted when I bought it. Well as many of you may know about two weeks ago we had a few days where it was 70 to 80 degrees during the day and then 27 degrees at night. Well one morning when it was 27 degrees I set to ore warm the car in defrost mode. When I came out I noticed this 2 inch crack on the left middle side right at the defroster line. no outside damage at all. Well within two days the crack went all the way to the defroster pad on the left side and ran down from the initial crack and then back up the passenger side to that defroster pad. Not knowing anything I did bring it into the Tesla near me and this guy took one look at it and said it was the tint. I am confused as to how this is not a stress crack. This car was tinted from the moment of purchase and we had no issues in the last four months, only went it got so cold so quick was it an issue. the crack seems to come from the inside, you cannot feel it at all on the outside. any advice on how to get this covered this happened at 52k and it seems obvious to me that it is a stress crack cause if it had been the tint wouldn't it have presented itself before now. Any advice on dealing with Tesla to get this covered because the quote I have from a 3rd party is $768, and we'll , getting it covered would be a much better solution. Thanks in advance, Jay
