Upgraded Door Handle Rebuild & Repair Kit for Tesla Model S (2012-2020)

 

The permanent, upgraded solution to the infamous Tesla Model S door handle failure. Stop worrying about a stuck or non-presenting door handle. Our comprehensive Rebuild & Repair Kit is engineered not just to replace, but to upgrade the failure-prone original components in your 2012-2020 Model S door handle mechanism.

This isn't a temporary fix. We've addressed the root causes of the problem by replacing the weak original parts with superior, more durable components. Featuring a reinforced, waterproof microswitch and a solid stainless steel paddle gear, this kit is designed to restore smooth, reliable operation and ensure your door handle works flawlessly for years to come. It's the confident, cost-effective solution to one of the most common Model S issues.

Why Choose Our Upgraded Repair Kit?

 

This is the definitive choice for the owner who wants to fix their door handle once and for all with components that are demonstrably better than the ones that failed.

Superior, Upgraded Components

Engineered for ultimate reliability:
Upgraded IP67 Microswitch Harness: The #1 point of failure. Our harness features reinforced wiring and a fully waterproof, IP67-rated Panasonic microswitch to prevent water intrusion and wire fatigue.
304 Stainless Steel Paddle Gear: Replaces the fragile original gear with a robust, solid stainless steel version that will not strip, crack, or break under load.

The Complete, All-in-One Solution

Includes All Essential Clips: We include 8 interior door panel clips and 4 water barrier clips because we know the originals become brittle and will break during disassembly. No need to pause your project to order more parts.
Guaranteed Compatibility: A direct-fit, upgraded replacement for OEM part numbers 1016009-00-C and 1042845-00-B.

Proactive & Reactive Repair

Whether your handle has already failed or you want to prevent a future headache, this kit is the answer. Proactively rebuilding your handles with these upgraded parts is the smartest way to ensure long-term, trouble-free operation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 

Q1: How is this kit better than just buying new OEM parts?

A1: The original OEM parts have known design flaws (a weak paddle gear and a non-waterproofed switch) that lead to repeated failures. Our kit replaces those specific weak points with superior, upgraded materials to provide a permanent solution, not just another temporary fix.

Q2: Is this a difficult repair to do myself?

A2: This is an intermediate-level repair that requires removing the interior door panel. While it is a common DIY project for many Tesla owners, we recommend watching several online video tutorials to understand the process fully before you begin.

Q3: Will this kit fix a handle that won't present (extend out)?

A3: Yes. A failure to present is most often caused by a broken paddle gear or a failed microswitch, both of which are the core upgraded components in this kit.

Q4: Do I need to buy one kit per door?

A4: Yes. This kit contains the parts to rebuild one single door handle mechanism.

 

Fix it right, fix it once. Add to cart now to permanently restore the smooth, reliable function of your Model S door handle.
