Loud clicking noise from drivers door

Sounds like the window isn't coming down far enough to clear the roof/trim. This can happen sometimes & a Tesla tech can adjust it for you.
You can easily verify what @Ostrichsak mentioned by looking at the window as you slowly open the door. If the window is not dropping dar enough down and “pops” out of the window mounding, then TJ’s the is certainly one issue.
Before calling Mobile, you can easily try the same fix they will try first:
Driver Window Glass Calibration

They are going to replace the hinge next week. It had to be ordered, then painted to match the car.
Did you have to take it in or was it mobile service? I wasn't sure what to select in the app when scheduling it so I put "noise or vibration" and described the problem.
I'm having the same problem. There is a "knocking" sound when opening and closing the driver's door. Did you get your car fixed?
Yes, they replaced the hinge while the car was in my garage. No noise now.
Thanks for confirming. I can't seem to get this service to be remote, even though I have had remote service in the past. I'm scheduled for Oct 21st, so we'll see what they do.
Did they get it fixed? I just noticed the same clicking in my front passenger door. I'm scheduled for service on October 31st.
They postponed it on me and converted to mobile service so I had to reschedule. They are coming Nov. 1st
Mobile service came to my house today to check it out. He said it's a plastic bushing in the door assembly, and it's a known issue now. Mine was the second he saw today, and he said they have replaced that part on hundreds of cars now. It's a relatively new issue, though. The older Model 3s don't have that problem. Mine is a July, 2019 build.
On my 2013 S the drivers door was popping and it was starting to annoy me. I scheduled a mobile service visit. They tried to lube it but noticed abnormal movement and ordered replacement hinges. They stated they would have to be painted after receiving them and would come back out and replace them in my driveway. I think it was the techs first time doing this type of repair. No problems now and it was fixed under CPO warranty.
Mine was the little black plastic “hinge” piece on my 3. The mobile service tech removed the door panel and swapped the part. Didn’t take very long (maybe 20-30 min) and it was definitely the problem.
Not sure if the S/X’s have the same unpainted black piece.

Mine was the upper hinge that was replaced. 2 years later and it's still good as new.
