What We Don't Know Aout the Tesla Roadster

No problem, Doug. Glad I was able to help.

Thanks SteveF. We'll be occupied for quite awhile now.

One of the things I was unaware of before reading this was that Tesla needs to adjust your windows each time that you go between the hard top and the soft.

One of the things I was unaware of before reading this was that Tesla needs to adjust your windows each time that you go between the hard top and the soft.

I see that now (pages 7-10 and 7-14). Interesting and disappointing. I hope we can learn how to do it ourselves. It says not adjusting the windows could result in leaks. However apparently leaks are considered normal...

From page 7-9 (emphasis mine):

The Tesla Roadster is designed to
accommodate changing loads and strains
that constantly occur while driving. It also
accommodates the tolerances needed to
allow repeated removal and installation of the
roof. As a result, wind noise and minor water
leaks can occur and are considered normal.

Yeah this thing is dense. I'm going to have to print it out to get it all.

At 115 pages, maybe the manual needs it own thread!
