How to Replace Center Console Sliding Door

[Reekdog]

Has anyone tried to replace the sliding door in the facelift center console? I have a 2016 MS with the black door and would like to change it out with one of the carbon fiber ones they offer in the newer version of the console.

I bought the "CF sticker" but don't like the fit so I didn't put it on. The actual carbon fiber version of the sliding door is approximately $75.00

Any idea how much disassembly it takes to DIY change out a door?

If so, picts/videos would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

$75.00 from Tesla ? We bought this one as our Model S was build during that short period when there was no dash material on the sliding door. $25 and no assembly required.

$75

Yes $75.00 for the door... that's what the parts guy told me at the Service Center. No idea what they would charge to change it out

Looks like about half an hour job. I think you would need to get at it from the underside

I dobremember seeing a video that DAERIK did adding wireless charging to the flip up console panel but I couldn't tell if the sliding door could be removed as well. Hey DAERIK, ARTSCI any thoughts or ideas?

Any more input on how to change the lid/sliding door? I'm in the process of changing it out for Carbon fiber as well and not sure how hard/difficult it would be as a DIY. Any input would be much appreciated!

@Reekdog - did you succeed with the swap? If so, would you share how it worked out? Thanks!

Im also curious about the swap and the part number?

thanks for the info!!

No input so far and I'm still reluctant to dive in on my own. I plan on stopping by the SC and chatting up one of the mechanics to see if I can get anymore info. BTW, I did find this video from DAERIK that shows how to access the phone charger flip door

Thanks a lot for posting that video. Maybe it is as easy as just pulling the sides off like Erik did in the video. And hopefully it is not necessary to pop the entire side panel off to access just the sliding door in the front part of the console.

I'll also try and see if I can get some more info from my local Service Center. Let's update in this thread if we do find out something of value

Haven't tackeled it yet but will definitely post the process/results when I do

You have to lift up the front edge of the trim cover and then slide it rearward while holding the sliding mechanism that it's attached to. It makes much more sense if you see the underside of the trim piece vs the sliding mechanism.

Any photos?

FInally got it done... Here's a shot of my 2016 Black model S. The only one anywhere with Gray interior and a carbon fiber sliding door (lid)! At least for now anyway...lol

The carbon fiber sliding lid id a bit sturdier that the original. It doesnt require the removal of anything but the lid itself and attaches with 6 posts to the (lid tray).

Here's the final product. It was a simple replace that took around 3 mins. My local service center did it for me.

Just ordered the door here in the U.K. It costs £56 and Tesla want £80 to fit it!!

Can you please confirm the fitting instructions and if it’s easy for me to do it myself.

See post #13 above for pictures. Basically, you pull the sided of the console apart just enough so the edges of the lid come free. Then you pull the lid top towards the seats so it disconnects from the tray it rides on and reverse the process to attach the need one. Hope that helps

Thank you. Should be picking it up today or tomorrow.

Just had mine fitted (Tesla charged £15). So, so much better than the old finger print magnet that was there before.

 

[Reekdog]

Cool. it really makes a difference!

Please post a pic when you get a chance.
