Midtown Houston 444 Report post Posted May 6, 2018 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. 2 no ma'am and TintDude reacted to this Share this post Link to post
DynamicATL 2,068 Report post Posted May 7, 2018 I read it somewhere else...I thought here. There is a computer under each A pillar...so both sides. Share this post Link to post

DynamicATL 2,068 Report post Posted May 7, 2018 We haven't done one yet...we had two book but both cancelled assuming because our price is high for this model. I am considering just not tinting them or at the very least not touch the windshield. Downside is most want the windshield done, hence why I am thinking just skip it all together. Just not worth the time or potential headache/financial lose. 1 Tinteks reacted to this Share this post Link to post
TINT 168 Report post Posted May 7, 2018 Done a few already but no windshield, almost wondering if we can take a-pillars out and cover the sensors/ecu? or unless its connected like a defroster line to windshield. Share this post Link to post

It’s those molex plugs. They face upward and collect the water coming down pillars. There was another post about this a while back. My brother tints a ton of Tesla’s, so I warned him. Take the pillars off and stuff microfibers down the holes and then cover everything the way you normally would. He hasn’t had any problems yet. 2 TINT and smookee408@yahoo.com reacted to this Share this post Link to post
