Ripped Window Trim Seal

TheHoffmobile · 01-10-2020, 11:03 AM

Hi everyone,

I know this is a super small imperfection, but want to see if anyone else has experienced this.

I have a 2020 and it appears the window trim seal has already torn on both sides. Again, super minimal and barely noticeable, but it happened.

Here is a pic.

Thanks,

Mike

Trying to figure out which area we’re looking at..
Is that the rear quarter panel, or is it the leading edge of the door/window?
‘Minimal’ is all it takes to have leaks, so I understand your concern.

This is where the window closes near the rearview mirrors. I‘m in South Florida and it rains frequently.

I have it on driver side window on an 2018 OG M2. Thought about getting it fixed but it's so minor I keep forgetting and it doesn't seem to be getting worse. may do it right before the warranty is up.

Hope this helps...

Definitely does. Thank you. Just want to make sure I’m not the only one and that maybe my tint installer didn’t do it. It’s on both sides, so I feel like it has to do with the Florida heat and the window just wearing out the little thin piece of rubber.

I’ll look at mine once I return tomorrow.

If you had the windows tinted then your tint guy caused this. That is the only time I have seen it happen on such a new car.

Bumping this back up, did you ever find the cause? I'm noticing this after a tint job on a car with 2k miles. Same sort of tears. They use computer cut but I think when they're cleaning with the razor blade this happens not sure

Pretty sure its been damaged by tiny guy.

MMMBRAP · 08-08-2022, 10:34 AM

I'm guessing this only happens to those who tint the car?

Mine has no issues (no tint).

Maybe the tiny guy is homeless and this is where he lives now?

Is the cut on the inside or outside of the window?

I’ve never had my windows tinted. Only 3k on the clock. I’ve got a small cut on the inside of each window squeegee very near the mirrors.
