Thank you so much for the step by step instructions. I was able to follow along very easily. Unfortunately I won’t be able to get all the trimmings to seal back to its original form. But that’s part of the cost of DIYing.

Thanks for watching! Glad to be of service. See you in the next video! 👍

This is what I was looking for! Thank you so much for showing this. Do you have any links of the items that you're using like the Cinch cable and the Actuator motor?

So glad you found it useful!! Consider subscribing for more thoughtful EV content!
The components replaced in this video were all from Tesla OEM. Thanks! 🙏

Sadly you mention there’s a small panel on top of the whole panel that needs to be removed first, now the whole panel is cracked and broke when trying to remove it.

Thanks for watching. Sorry to hear that. A trim stick helps to loosen the clips without putting too much pressure on the whole panel. Thankfully the panel is not too expensive. We have replaced ours due to a 2x4 punching a hole in it 😂
