So my 2019 Model 3 had the rear harness recall issue. My back camera intermittently would stop working. Mobile service came out and fixed it just a couple days ago, with no charge.
Unfortunately when I went to the car I immediately noticed the driver’s side window wasn’t opening as normal. Usually the window drops slightly to clear the chrome trim, but now it wasn’t doing that and is catching.
From the inside, the window has trouble going up all the way. It goes all the way up and then down slightly so it’s still open. To close the window completely you have to hold down the power window button for a few seconds after it’s closed for it to stay. Unfortunately when you go to open the door with the button it’s catching on the trim. You have to manually lower the window a bit to open the door.
I tried resetting the car and tried the window calibration reset tips where you hold the power button all the way down and up for a bit. Those do nothing despite multiple attempts.
The frustrating thing is Tesla service says it’s nothing they did. Before this however I had zero problems with my driver window. They want to charge close to $300 to fix it. since I’m out of warranty.
I don’t know enough about how the rear harness is changed to comment on how that could have possibly messed up the driver window. Any ideas? I guess it could be a bizarre coincidence but I feel it’s unlikely. Could they have shorted some component in the door during the harness fix process?
Also any ideas on how I could fix this myself without having service come out? Am I missing something simple?
Thanks.
