Door damaged and won't close

[matrix0040]

Hi

I backed my M3 with the rear door open and it banged against the garage door. Looks like the rear door got pushed against the front door and now won't close. Is there a way to align it to close it and whatre the repair options. Don't really want to go via insurance, what would be the cheapest way to get this fixed. It's a MY23 and a lease.

Thanks

Hinges or something got knocked out of whack. Start with an estimate from Tesla or a Tesla approved body shop.

If you are paying out of pocket, and there is no body damage, go to your local body shop and ask them for the repair estimate. You will get gouged at Tesla or a certified collision center. It’s just a door I know many folks want you to believe that Tesla doors are different.

Open the front door and look at the rear doors hinge. It has 4 bolts. Loosen them and see if you can move the door into place and get it closed.

If not you probably bent the hinge. It's probably a $60 part.

Same thing just happened to me, what did you end up doing?
