Rear Passenger Door Window Trim Popping Off - A DIY Solution

Ever since I got my R1S, I've noticed that the battery range estimation hasn't been the best. Driving a Tesla for the last 3 years, it never had this kind of issue. During my last trip, the driver display shows 255mi remaining. My total trip (including 2 destinations) is 160mi so I believed I should be able to make it easily with a nice cushion. But the center display showed that I would arrive at first destination with 4mi remaining, and run out before the second destination! I knew this was false so I made the drive anyway, and arrived at second destination with 50mi remaining. If I understand correctly, the driver display range is simply the total rated range multiplied by SOC. That makes sense here, since my vehicle is rated for 370mi, 255mi is 68.9%. Coming from Tesla, I expect the number shown in the center display should account for factors like elevation, wind, traffic speed, etc. It's sad that my own mental estimation is better than Rivian's.

I wanted to offer a simple tip for anyone who was having issues with fixing their window plastic trim. Mine was popping off some weeks back and the rain made it even worse. It made me afraid of water build up inside the door.

I submitted for mobile service, but no one from Rivian reached out. That made me search online for any solution I could find and lucky for me, I came across a product, which I applied and it fixed my trim perfectly.

You just have to apply it to the trim popping off, and make sure it doesn't spill to other areas where it shouldn't be applied as this dries up easily and it's very difficult to clean. Once you've applied it to the specific area it's need, you pop the trim back in, allow it to dry and you're good to go. It's that simple and easy.
