2012 model s sunroof leak?

[Raven5000]

Hi I have 2012 Tesla model s P85. The sunroof continuously leaks . I have had the sunroof replaced and brought to Tesla multiple times and it is never fixed. I’ve cleaned out the drain plugs and that seem to help a little but I’m still have problems with healiner getting wet. I’m wondering if the seal around the glass is bad. Does anybody know how to fix this cause Tesla can’t figure it out. Any help greatly appreciated.

Yeah. It’s a thing w some 2012s. Assuming you’re not the original owner?
some few unlucky cars never were able to be repaired

Where is it leaking? I found one possible area is the chrome trim believe it or not

I am the original owner. But it’s out of warranty and they want 10k to replace the entire sunroof it’s leaking through to the healiner by the front passenger sunvisor

wow, that's awful. Wouldn't some automotive weather stripping help?

I'd advise going anywhere but Tesla. Try independent mechanic shops and or independent glass shops

I’m 99% sure your drain plug is disconnected. This is exactly where mine was at when it happened. If you pop off the little “airbag” on the pillar there’s a screw take it off and the pillar will easily pop off from there the drain plug is a black rubber hose. You should be able to just pop it back together.

if you open the sun roof you will see a split in the middle of the molded plastic, Tesla used electrical tape to seal that area. Remove the tape and apply silicone.

There is a split on each side of the molding, Tesla placed tape over those areas. The tape will degrade over time and come loose causing leaks. Remove the tape and apply automotive black RTV silicone
