    Sun Roof Not Opening

    I fixed my sunroof! Remove your glass easily with the four screws. There are removable left and right camblocks in the tracks. They are the ramp up section in each track that the links follow. At the left camblock the sunroof was obviously binding. The start of the track was so slightly...

    Model S - Door handle presenting, but the door will not open!

    Your undone harness connectors isolate the door harness from the rest of the car. If you so choose then go to Safety on the screen and shutt down the power. And further you can disconnect the 12 volt battery and the high voltage link under the HVAC filter in the left frunk. I did not feel the...

    Model S - Door handle presenting, but the door will not open!

    First pic is light green purple and brown you described. 2nd pic is connector at the door actuator. So my observation is they improved the group of wires by adding a felt wrapping from the white connector through the metal car body and into the rubber flex grommet. I do not believe there is an...

    Mystery parts pieces, where they belong?

    I have three pieces in the attached picture. 1. The corner foam piece somewhere from right A pillar headliner trim. It's sticky selifane cover was not removed so it never stuck! 2. Plastic clip piece. My guess is sunroof? 3. Rubber piece. Guess is sunroof?

    Thinking of selling Model S 75D after Recent Sunroof Failure

    Any news on your sunroof? My 2015 S85D roof brackets are really stiff. I want to remove the rear brackets without removing the back glass. I think there has to be a way? Then I should be able to pull out the drive cable. Do have any thoughts on this?
