I recommend taking the door off by the lower front corner near where the bigger speaker grill is, since the one clip there is further away from the other clips, so it'll be easier to take off, and it'll put less pressure on the other clips (which are very easy to break as I found out the hard way).
My friend put a business card in my passenger door and when I opened it, the card slid down - looks like it won't be too difficult to remove it lol. Thanks for the quality video!
thanks for the vid, my tweeter wasn't properly secured in to the door, glad to know that tweeter snaps off and can be put back on like a lego piece, I was able to properly secure it in :)
Thanks for the clear and instructive structure video. It fave me the confidence to tackle thus project. .I never would gave attempted it otherwise. One thing you said I would echo........ The clips are VERY hard to dislodge. It took so much force I thought I would break something.
I tried and with a ton of force (and using plastic levers in different places and simultaneously) managed to get it off. And guess what... it broke a clip at the same time. Sigh. These clips are NOT very serviceable. Had to use high viscosity superglue and accelerant (3 seconds instead of minutes to set!) to fix it. Anyway, I recommend taking the front bottom of the door (where the bigger speaker grill is) away first, because there's sort of only one clip there, so it'll put less pressure on the other clips. The rest come away easier after that.
Interesting. The door light can be accessed much easier by just popping it out from the bottom. However it's odd that the LED is out already. More likely a loose plug or bad connection that may require service.
@@EveryAmp The car was t-boned in a parking lot that cost 25k to fix a week after we got it. Might have been the impact that broke the light. Had the car for 3 months, then got rear ended. In the shop now.
I'm having to take my doors off to apply some sound dampening material. I wonder where to put it at though. And idea how to remove the B pillars properly?
Not sure if you figured out B Pillar removal yet, but they literally just pop off. I noticed both of my front seat belt adjusters weren’t sitting flush with the b pillar trim and the top of my trim piece was sticking out a little. I popped them off and realized both driver and passenger adjuster rode on a little track (really just a groove they fit onto) and fixed them.
I accidentally fucked up my homies teslas door about 30 minutes ago. Wouldn't close so I kept pulling on the interior handle and then we heard a loud pop. Door was opened from the outside and the interior panel came off. 😂
Fantastic news! What a sense of accomplishment one gets from troubleshooting your own rattles. I’ve done the same thing with every car that I’ve owned, because the dealers rarely can fix them, especially if they happen only when the temperature or humidity is just right.
Do you know if you can remove the door speaker grill without removing the door panel? Does the grill just pop off with some pressure or is it not mean to be removed from the door panel?
It looks like the whole door panel has to be removed to replace the plastic speaker cover, is that right? Mine was scratched and it would be nice to replace. Was hoping I could just pull it out but maybe not?
Is this the same procedure one would use you remove a REAR door panel? I’ve got something rattling in my rear door. Almost sounds like the latch but I can’t tell for sure.
I removed one side and it popped off easy. I'm trying the other side and the panel won't pop off. I literally pulled with all my might and not a single clip will pop out. All the screws are removed. Any tips?
Thanks for the video, I will probably use it to try fix my door rattles. I have to say I can’t enjoy my car a bit because of rattles and weird sounds it makes :/ Makes me very sad everytime I think about it, sounds like a cheap, used car...
I definitely share your dislike for rattles, but do keep in mind that paying more for a car doesn't necessarily get you fewer rattles. You could be driving an Aston or Ferrari and fighting the same rattles.
@@EveryAmp I may be very sensitive to sounds I found haha I'll try my best to fix the issues, normally I'd wait for the service appointment in 2 weeks, but I have a bigger roadtrip coming this week, so it's hard to wait :) Fortunately channels like yours help a loooot.

Thank you so much! I have a squeak in the passenger side behind the door I'm going to try and get rid of. This is exactly what I needed.
Thanks for the great video! No wasted time with unrelated material!

best video showing the panel model 3) removal and replacement by far.
Thanks! We try to be useful.
Excellent; worked as advertised. Thanks
Thank you
Great video. Also bwas hoping to get info on window replacement
Thanks, good info that may come in handy one day.
Great video. My door pocket light is out. Taking car to Tesla service but it's nice to know how to get into the door for next time.

@@choda42 My butt hurts just reading that! Hope you have it back all nice and fixed.
Your videos are amazing, thank you
Thanks for the video! Hopefully I never need to use it for my 3
I was just thinking about the exact same thing!
Excellent video with great details!
Thanks. This helped me

can you do a video for a rear door? or it is the same? thx
I will if I need to remove it in the future, but it looks very similar aside from it not having a reflector and screw on the side and no tweeter.
LivingTesla the reason I ask is my rear passenger side door panel is not sitting flush on the top.
Well surely the pins and screws are in place, so maybe the top part isn't sitting down in the channel correctly?
LivingTesla you’re probably right. I’ll have to check into it one day. Thanks.
Thanks allot, it's really helpfull. I have to do this for my boss soon :)
Thanks for the instructional video! Were you able to stop the rattle in your door?
Yep, that totally fixed it. I actually shot that video a few weeks ago, so I've been rattle free since then.
Fantastic news! What a sense of accomplishment one gets from troubleshooting your own rattles. I’ve done the same thing with every car that I’ve owned, because the dealers rarely can fix them, especially if they happen only when the temperature or humidity is just right.
@@EveryAmp what did you actually do with the door card off to remove the rattle?
Do you know if you can remove the door speaker grill without removing the door panel? Does the grill just pop off with some pressure or is it not mean to be removed from the door panel?
If you take a look at the parts catalog, epc.tesla.com it doesn't look like it's a separate piece
Bummer! That’s what I’m looking to do too.
Hey man is it a lot harder to remove the whole door from a Tesla than it is from a regular car?
There's really nothing special about a Tesla door compared to others. Same clips and fasteners.
Subscribed! Very good job. Thanks very much.
thanks for vid , i take my doors off but i bloken door clip ( time 3:03 ) where can i buy that.., can`t find amazon and aliexpress.. plz answer thx
Tesla has them for $3 each here. I still can't find another supplier.
@@EveryAmpthanks !
That was great! Thanks for sharing.

Assuming you're talking about the cover that's low on the door, I don't think you can replace just it. It's molded into the door panel.
the top speaker that is head level can be lifted upwards and then it comes out
Well done. Thanks!
Is this the same procedure one would use you remove a REAR door panel? I’ve got something rattling in my rear door. Almost sounds like the latch but I can’t tell for sure.
It's pretty close. The rear door doesn't have a reflector and screw there, but otherwise it's about the same.
Are you able disassemble the door panel into individual parts? I have a scuffed up door pocket that I want to swap out.
It's definitely not made to be disassembled, but it's possible guess. The parts don't go together with screws, they have posts that are melted.
Hello, I am from France.
can you tell me how to dismount the right rear light?
thank you so much.
This video should help. He's removing the lights right around 6:50 - ua-cam.com/video/jBXgMWD-G7w/v-deo.html
What screwdriver do I need? Sorry I could not figure out from the video
The three screws are T-30 torx.
Anyone know if it’s the same on the refresh? before I start 🙈
Do you know how to get this little light under the armrest back into its clip?
Maybe email us some photos? contact@livingtesla.com
done
Were all the screws the same length?
They were identical.
Do you know if you can remove the alcantara part of the door
Something like this? ua-cam.com/video/nJHmrb7NN0o/v-deo.html
I broke one of the clip, where can I can buy more?

TESLA model S 2015 how to get out door cover panel?
We do not own that vehicle, so hopefully a UA-cam search can help you out.
I removed one side and it popped off easy. I'm trying the other side and the panel won't pop off. I literally pulled with all my might and not a single clip will pop out. All the screws are removed. Any tips?
Those clips are no joke. I had to stop and reassess the situation the first time as well, but the big pry tool in the corner eventually worked.
Man I was hoping the door panel removal wasn’t going to be necessary. Every time I remove a door panel I can never get it back on correctly.

@@EveryAmp Agree, had a Merc S350 with a passenger door rattle; in the workshop twice, and 300 dollars later, same issue, until I fixed it myself.
T27 is better than T30 in this situation
Very poorly designed .Probably the worst I have work on.Even old Renault not that bad .Try replacing the door,or take the handles out
