Owners allege the glass roof comes loose at the left-rear corner, causing leaks, increased wind noise, and water pooling at the rear charging port. 12365auto, a Chinese auto consumer complaints platform, has logged 300 Ti7 complaints since the model’s launch in September 2025. Roof issues have been reported only for the Ti7 EV, with the first roof-related complaints appearing after the EV’s debut on April 30. While marketed in China as the FCB Ti7, export markets will receive the PHEV and EV SUV simply as the BYD Ti7. How the roof comes undone Owners report that the panoramic glass roof detaches only at the left-rear corner, with the issue surfacing within one week of delivery. Reports also allege that the glass panel becomes loose and that owners can only push it back down temporarily. The left-rear corner of the Ti7’s glass roof, lifted up from the body shell.

The complaint, filed with 12365auto on June 23, has since been deleted. 3YC Ownership Report, a BYD-focused account on China’s WeChat platform, speculates that this issue is caused by production process complications, such as uneven adhesion or an imbalance in force during glass roof installation. Because the roof issue is limited to the latest EV Ti7s, a Ti7 lineup design flaw is unlikely. No PHEV Ti7s have reported roof issues so far. Milder cases of roof detachment. BYD & FCB’s response BYD and affiliated FCB dealers have responded to 99.2% of the 300 complaints, including those on the recent glass roof issues, but owners remain unsatisfied. One owner alleges that they were contacted by BYD’s after-sales service, offering to make amends if they deleted the complaint. The two parties failed to reach an agreement after the retraction, though, and no compensation or repairs were offered. As of writing, 31 complaints have been officially filed about the detached glass roof. BYD responded that the issues have been forwarded to authorities and that owners should await contact from its staff. More on the Ti7 The FCB Ti7’s domestic deliveries, September 2025 to May 2026.
