Door trim clips should be replaced every time you remove the panel per Tesla. Also, note the SRS pressure sensor in the middle of the door. In order for it to work properly in an impact, all of the open holes need the round stickers replaced every time you remove them.

You had mentioned in the last video, they slim jammed into the car at the auction house, they probably broke that regulator at the auction house by pushing down on the window assembly to reach in with a pocky stick to open the door, If putting a doorman window regulator is your biggest problem on a Tesla, that’s a deal.

You are going to get used to taking those inner door panels off, when you are fixing door handles. My advise, keep an extra wiring set (flat type) as well as a couple of spare gears with you (along with the proper wrenches to fix it) in the car at all times. I have the exact same model (I recognized the Tampa SC) and had the two front doors fail on the SAME DAY! It will happen. The rear doors are harder, but there are a few tricks to make it easier (like fooling the door to keep the window higher (when the door closes), so you can access the bolt). May also want to keep an extra air suspension shock on hand too.
