Any comments on door handle gear kits? I've got a noisy one at the rear now (drivers one has already been replaced/upgraded under warranty)
I've bought 3 and used 2 so far of the machined stainless paddle gear kits on ebay for ~$20 each (shipping takes a week so when one goes out I have a part ready to go). I'd completely recommend that option over paying Tesla for OEM repairs.
