Oh here is the Driver Door Upper Hinge part number for anyone that might need it. And also below is how much Tesla Service quoted me for the part and labor. I think I can replace it myself. I found the part on ebay new for under $100.

ive been wanting to do this for a while now , great post .I have been getting sunroof squeaking and shuttering when closing. I have had the car into Service multiple times and they lubed it up and still the issue continue. So after working with ReelDeal on my replacement Instrument Cluster, they provided me some of their sunroof lube to try out. I am very happy with this, as I believe that the Tesla Service techs probably weren't cleaning the channels first and then lubricate. So if you have the sunroof squeak and or shuttering, please clean out the old lube and dirt and re-lubricate the channels. NOTE: I did not remove the sunroof. No need to do that.

DIY from ReelDeal. Doc is from Tesla Service.
First, open the sunroof all the way.
Then take a cloth or paper towel with a flat head screw driver and CAREFULLY clean out the channels. This will take sometime to do right.
Next, use some compressed air (max 25 PSI) to blow out any dirt you couldn't reach or get to. Also check the water drain holes in the front corners of the channels.
Next get the new lube and some kind of an application device. I used a sponge brush. You can even use a Q-Tip.
This is what it looks like when I finished lubricating the channels. I only used about half of the tube of lube. No need to over lube.
Wow came on to TMC to find info about the new 2021.4.18.2 (i have mcu2 in my MS 2014 AP1) as since the update yesterday, my car hasnt 'slept' once (verified by...
$60!? What a deal that was! Congrats.At 102,428 Miles.
I finally got my hand on the center console. Found it on FB marketplace for $60. Wow what a deal. Had a missing clip or 2 but worked great.
Used this video to help me install it.
Simply clear the yacht floor area and then put a microfiber towel on the arm rest cup holder (so you don't scratch it up). Then simply press it into place.

Ones the console is in place simply push the sides over the clips with a little force and that's it.
I will look into this as my passenger window is making a weird noise when lowering. I love WD40 always works and helps me find out where issues are coming from. Thanks for the tip.Obviously I can't hear your hinge popping noise. However, I had a very loud cracking noise when I lowered my driver's (RH) front door glass. It took me a long time to find it. I traced it to the outer door skin touching the underside of the mirror bracket. I lubricated it by spraying WD 40 and instantly the noise disappeared.
For some reason, mentioning spraying WD40 gets some people annoyed...

My car has a little squeak (only once in a while) after the door shuts and the window raises that 1/4" or so. Any suggestion what to lube?Obviously I can't hear your hinge popping noise.

I would guess at the glass channel rubber seals. It doesn't sound like the same noise that I had.My car has a little squeak (only once in a while) after the door shuts and the window raises that 1/4" or so. Any suggestion what to lube?
yep , i use wd 40 (search for wd 40 specialist high performance silicone lubricating spray) on all the rubber seals every other time i wash the car.I would guess at the glass channel rubber seals. It doesn't sound like the same noise that I had.
I would defiantly clean the windows channel with a credit card. Then lubricate all the window seals. I use the below product because its super easy to apply and works really well for me. Best of all keeps windows nice and lubricated through winter so they don't stick when it snows or ices up.My car has a little squeak (only once in a while) after the door shuts and the window raises that 1/4" or so.

do you have any alternatives to tesla service in your area ?At 109,621 Miles.
So after my long road trip I decided to take my MS in to Service Center, because it was wandering (moving left and right own its on slightly, as though it was catching grooves in the road) too much at high speed for my liking...even when it wasn't windy. Additionally, the front driver side makes weird noise when going over any bumps. Also my Louvers didn't open ever on any super charging session, which was strange because the car was always very noisy when super charging. And on one session I opened the Louvers and noticed my charging rate actually went up. I believe that my louvers not opening is causing slow super charging.
Later Service Center contacted me with the below info:
1. Louvers seem to operate fine for them during thermal test. So they don't see a need to replace them at this time.
2. On test drive they were unable to reproduce issues with wandering of the car. But upon inspection of entire suspension front and rear, they found that all rubber bushings appear torn or broken on front and aft fore links (see below) . They recommend I replace them at $1800 total (parts+labor). Then we will see if the issue continues.
I will updated after I received the car back from Service. Over all I am not upset about this work being required, because I have done a lot of road trips and was expecting some suspension work would be needed.
TIP: Do your best to avoid every darn pot hole. Big or small.
