Model 3 front doors creaking / door check straps

Hi,

Has anyone had these replaced under warranty recently? From what I can find in a search a few people had these replaced FOC under warranty a couple years back, but Ive been quoted £128 to replace.

Thank you

I had one replaced under warranty a few months ago. Same issue on the other 3, they said they can’t replicate. There’s a YouTube video where you can fix the noise without replacing it.

Thanks, will definitely try this. Im pretty surprised they are charging for this under warranty though.

This worked, took 5 minutes, 1 strap had to be pushed down a bit, the other pushed up a bit. TIP for anyone doing this: Make sure the strap doesnt look like it will catch on the rubber boot attached to the door, or the boot comes off and you will need to readjust.

Thanks for the how to @Mercimek

Yes, replaced under warranty last summer.

Mine was replaced under warranty 2 years ago. Unfortunately they scuffed the trim as after fixing it the technician slammed the door without the window slightly dropped (they blamed their computer being connected). But they immediately replaced the trim. It's been absolutely fine ever since

However, I too have noticed that service does seem more rushed and far less accomodating nowadays. They have an effective online booking system, issues are triaged upfront, yet nowadays the service centers have the ability to walk all over this last minute. It's like a good cop bad cop arrangement, very frustrating.
