While I was not happy with the answer, I continue to keep the beading above plastics. |
Excellent. Thanks for sharing, B_B.

Do you feel any loss in power/torque when the "engine gargle" happens?
If no, then it should be fine.
UPDATE: Owners have updated me with some of the "fixes" (solutions) to the niggles/issues related to their Hexas, which I have highlighted in my previous post.

Roof-windshield beading was fixed earlier today. The black plastic roof beading channel (in pic #3) was replaced with an entirely new one.

QC manager visited one of the affected owners and said that this was a design by the car engineers, rather than a flaw. The plastic portion was deliberately kept below the rubber portion.

The affected car was taken into the service center, and it's B-pillar was opened. The seat belt was twisted inside the B-pillar, and it was fixed accordingly.
Same thing which had happened to another Hexa at a Coimbatore dealership also had the same fix done at their service center. Total time taken for this was around 5-6 minutes.

Owners have been told that this sound will go away once the kilometers pile up. So it's basically wait-and-watch right now.

Part was ordered, and what came through the delivery was a chrome strip one size too big! The concerned dealership's service manager has now ordered the entire door handle.

Misaligned roof panels (same car as above).
Spare-wheel lowering system is misaligned.
Gap on window beading's plastic finish. |
No fixes/solutions have happened for these, yet.
I have specially requested an affected owner of one of these Hexas, Team-BHP
ian zeddo, to share his experiences at his Tata dealership to fix the issues/niggles he's facing right now.
In all the cases, Tata hasn't gotten in touch with the owners (except the one case where a QC manager contacted an owner through the customer's dealership). The owners themselves have contacted their said dealerships and are getting the fixes done.
Full marks to the dealerships here - they are being very pro-active and supporting the new Hexa owners as much as they can.
Now, for those owners who are thinking of getting side-steps fixed on their Hexas, be wary of this:
After the side-step bracket is fixed, the floor of the body section which encloses the door is slightly raised. This is causing the scratches on the door sill, and on the underside of the door too.
Be sure to get washers fixed for the side-steps, to avoid this problem.
