Door Glass - LH - Front (Remove and Replace)
Correction Code 11500102
- 2024-12-10: Added new caution about Pre-Installation Glass Inspection service requirements.
CAUTION
New glass components (windshield, roof, door, and fixed glass) must be inspected before installation to meet Tesla’s internal standards of quality. Perform the inspection described in Pre-Installation Glass Inspection before beginning this procedure.
Special tools required for this procedure:
Supplier | Part Number | Description |
Tesla | 1454796-00-A | TOOLKIT, WINDOW SWITCH |
Remove
- Remove the LH front door closeout panel (refer to procedure).
-
Remove and discard the bolts (x4) that attach the front door module bracket to LH front door (torque 6 Nm).
CAUTIONThe door may move as the module is moved due to the sensor inside the door.
-
Connect the window switch tool (1454796-00-A) to the front door module, and then fully raise the front LH window glass.
-
Remove the butyl patch that covers the access hole for the rear window regulator nut, and then loosen the nut (torque 9 Nm).
NoteIt is not necessary to fully remove the nut.
- Using the window switch tool, fully lower the front LH window glass.
-
Lift and gently pull back the horizontal section of the inner belt seal from the door.
- Remove the outer belt seal (refer to procedure).
- Using the window switch tool, raise the regulator for access to the front clip.
-
Release the front clip, then lift the glass out of the door.
CAUTIONTake care not to damage component(s).
Installation
Installation procedure is the reverse of removal, except for the following:
Warning
Always replace plugs or tape removed from the front door shells when servicing or inspecting the door or its components. Additional holes in the door creates more escape paths for air, which decreases the front door pressure sensor's ability detect a side impact, and can negatively affect airbag deployment.
CAUTION
When installing the window, do not insert the glass into the guide channel. Instead, insert the metal guide plate on the window into the channel. Evenly and progressively press the glass onto the spacers.
Note
Use a gap and flush tool to verify window fitment and seal contact.
