Anyone know how to perform Step 11 in replacing Cabin air filters? How do you precisely tighten the screw to that amount?

Install the cabin filter cover by engaging the lower cover tab then securing the T20 screw using. Tighten the screw to 1.2 Nm/0.89 ft-lbs.

Surprised they left out aligning headlights. I had them do it at the SC when one light was pointed up and the other down and they told me I could have done it at home. I was under the impression that if you went into that section of the service menu without knowing what you’re doing bad things would happen. The manual doesn’t touch on it.

I think most people don't even give a thought about mis-aligned headlights until it affects them. They care less if their mis-aligned lights are blinding other.

Use "redirect=no" in the link: Do It Yourself - Model 3

It will prevent getting redirected to the Canadian site.

A few choices:

https://www.amazon.com/FIRSTINFO-Mo...ol+adjustable&qid=1558718109&s=gateway&sr=8-5

For the gunsmith screwdriver, use 10 in-lbs.

For the TPMS kit, you can use the adjustable TPMS mounting screwdriver set to just under the 1.4 Nm setting.
