This is not worth arguing about. It's €3 in parts. Get them from Tesla, then you know it's the right thing and quality. Had they asked €50 for the same exact thing? Sure. But this is pointless. Not sure where Franc got the pricing from, but what I paid for them at Tesla, there's 0 reason to deviate.

Please don't. At €0.30 each, there's absolutely no reason to get garbage from AliExpress. Why skimp on such a thing in a €100k car. If they're knockoffs, they will probably ether not fit right, clamp right, or break over time. The effort and risk of opening up the door panel and breaking other...

In my experience, it likes to sit lower rather than higher. I definitely put mine back too low, but 0 issues now, whereas when it was too high, it visibly struggled presenting and got stuck on retracting.

What's out of sync? The window moving down, or the handle? The note was more because if you close the door with the window fully up, you could shatter the window. If it's the handle, that should fix itself. If you open the door through the electronic latch, it should just open, lower the window...

It actually tells you exactly how to do this on the screen as well.

Haha that's funny, I live in Weert, and I got them in Eindhoven. Roermond should have them as well. Literally just called Tesla support, but I think they can sell them to you if you just walk in. Maybe €3.35 is for an entire set? Or are you looking 3rd party? You can DM me as well so we don't...

Yeah my driver door was also squeaking when I bought it. Asked the service guy during an MCU 2 upgrade and he said the clips are probably busted. Sure enough, pulled it off, replaced FIVE broken clips. Good as new! Maybe the clips also break along the way. They're very hard plastic and the doors...

Yeah that's what I said. Just said it's hard to reach 🙂 I didn't remove the window. I used the door latch trick as well. It helped, but not by a lot. Getting my hands/tool in there for the top bolt was still difficult. But I've also never done this before, maybe I'm not doing it the best way.

I have managed to fix the rear door handle alignment :) This video shows how to take out the rear door handle entirely, which I didn't do. I simply loosened the bolts and re-adjusted it: I say "simply", but 2 of the 4 bolts are very hard to reach without taking the window out, but it can be...

Ha, I have that *exact* issue. Gonna try fixing it myself as well.

Welp, there she is. They replaced the entire unit. The handle has been sitting for over a week, doing another calibration did not fix it for me. €460 total. They said there's probably a sensor inside the motor unit that's no longer functioning. There's very little mechanical to see that could be...

I have a service appointment planned for tomorrow. Will report back to let you know. I think they usually take whatever they replace though, but I'll see if I can keep my hands on it and take it apart myself.

Damn, didn't help. It simply won't retract all the way by itself, so will need to schedule service. And yes, I manually pushed it into the door before I ran the calibration. It then extended, still tries to extend further than it should (motor buzzing due to physical limit), then tries to...

Oh that's great info, thanks! According to this table you might have a gen 2.0 or 2.5 handle, which can't be calibrated, unless it was after July 2017, or it's been updated along the way: The UI in the car states only 2.1 and 3.0 can be calibrated. Mine is from April 2018, so it should have...

Ok, I just found it in the online service manual that Tesla very nicely updated. It talks about the procedure as if it's an automatic routine, it even mentions that PROC_DHFP_FRONT-PAS_DOOR-HANDLE-CALIBRATION message that I see in my last screenshot as a thing that their toolbox software uses...
