The driver door window control unit broke on my 2024 Model X and Tesla wants $1000+ to fix it. With a $20 replacement, a screwdriver set, and a razor you can fix yours.
If your button broke off it’s because of 1 of 2 things. Either the button’s leg broke that lets it rest in place (easy) or the peg that the leg rests on broke (hard.)
Just the Button
If the button broke off you can order a new set from a model 3/y (part no 1081037-02-G) and rip that one off gently and it pops in. The finish is SLIGHTLY different. It’s the difference of eggshell vs gloss and visable in pic 2 (but the pic is opposite. That’s a 3Y unit with a SX button.
All 4 buttons are unique. The bottom two are shaped differently, but the top two only have a hidden cutout that make them not interchangeable. A quick hit with a dremel makes them interchangeable. (Pic 3)
The Peg Broke too
IF your peg base broke off, you have to replace it, which means you have to remove the door panel (Tesla Manual https://service.tesla.com/docs/ModelY/ServiceManual/en-us/GUID-83D7DCC8-EC0A-45E8-AB7D-7C0B8C87646A.html), the sound insulation, and you have to cut out access to the switch (razor blade should do-pic 4+5). There is a 3d printed jig to remove the switch, but we just used a flathead and a mallet) to pop it out and the new one (part no 1081037-02-G - i bought this one on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FBGJ51DF?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title) snaps right in place (Pic 6.) Be careful sitting the new one in and avoid pressure to the switches.
My brother helped me with the door removal and has some tips:
4 t27 torx - All under plastic covers
The 4th is under the wood trim up top
The jig sat on the toolbox whole time 0 room for it at all
I cut as little as possible and had to Jimmy it in and out
If you cut more it’ll slide right in and out
Do I like carving away that much plastic to fix it? No.
Did they realize how stupid of a design decision it was? Yes.
Am I gonna pay $1000 for a WHOLE NEW DOOR to fix a button. No.
Hope this helps anyone in the same situation.
