Model Y Driver Door Alignment DIY Help

You can adjust the striker plate or loosen the bolts that go into the doors and adjust. That’s what I ended up doing since the SC couldn’t fix. Pretty easy to do. Just takes time depending on how perfect you want it.

The striker plate is self-centering. The only adjustment there is to "bend" it.

My door was a bit like this but a tad less extreme. Tesla sent my car to well known body shop which was local to SC because I had other gaps in trunk area which SC said could only be addresses at body shop. Car door came back perfect & other gaps were improved a ton. Some I can’t see anymore.

May I ask which SC and body shop?

Tesla SC on Centinela near Los Angeles International Airport. This was 12 miles from my house and takes 1-1.5 hours driving in Los Angeles traffic but it beats the pants off the Tesla SC 0.25 miles down my street. Body shop was Fix Auto El Segundo @ Jim & Jack’s .
