Tesla Model S Door Handle Paddle Gears Replaced

Video of how to remove front and rear door handles and replaced paddle gears. It also shows the difference between V2.5(microswitch) and V3(magnetic) door handles.

Thanks for the walk through! Helped me out a lot. The drivers side was a little different because the top left bolt of the handle housing is a big pain to remove and reinstall and there are lots more wires to disconnect. But a great learning experience for when the other 3 break 👍🏼

Glad it helped! That's why we make these types of videos

After watching a more up close video elsewhere. Don't just hammer out the pin. Take out the paddle motor instead. This method will damage the center clip and possibly the springs under the motor and might cause issues down the road. You don't need to brut force it out.

Thanks do you need to disconnect the battery or something before doing this process?

Didn’t even show to replace the main piece that’s broken?
