Tesla Model X: Cladding - Door - Front - LH (Remove and Replace)

Special tool required for this procedure:

1. Open the front door.
2. Working from the rear, use a trim tool to release the clips (x6) and double sided tape that secure the cladding to the front door. Tip: After the rearmost clip is released, close the front door and carefully pull the cladding away from the door to release the remaining clips (x5).

    

3. Remove any broken clips from the door.
4. Remove the front door cladding from the vehicle.

Caution: Replace any broken clips.

1. Clean any remaining double sided tape residue.
2. Apply new tape if reinstalling the cladding. Remove the tape backing.

    

3. Install the rearmost clip first then install the remaining clips (x5) working towards the front of the door. Caution: Failure to install the rearmost clip first can result in poor seating of the cladding.

    

4. Press firmly on the cladding using a silicone seam roller to completely seal the double sided tape.
