Structural adhesive 2.0 to the rescue.

Only option is replacing the door. There's no other fix.

Im waiting until i know for sure Tesla has the right adhesive and isn't going to just replace the door with another door that will eventually fail as well.

This may not be the case anymore. Three of my four doors have the delaminating issue. My local SC said they were not able to fix it and had me take it to a Tesla collision center.

The center said they now repair the door by disassembling, stripping the failed adhesive and apply a new adhesive supplied by Tesla. Once done, let it cure, reassemble the door and it’s good to go.

The adhesive is on back order, but once it’s in I’m to bring the truck back and have if fixed.

Is this guy correct and the door no longer needs to be replaced? I have no clue. But he seemed fairly knowledgable and experienced with Cybertruck repairs. So I guess I‘m gonna find out.

My local SC said they will try a few options but I asked them to have the door ordered and have it in by June 11 as a backup. He said he would not authorize a door replacement as a first step but would order the door. Im really hoping to get this resolved as this seems to be the last of the annoyances. ?

Driving at highway speeds is super annoying. I have to put my airpods in with noise cancelling just to deal with the wind noise + rattle. Anyone else notice wind noise from the windshield? I feel I need to get this looked at too.

Opening a can of worms...

I had mine fixed instead of swapped, details earlier in this thread. This was a relief due to wrapped door.

Ughhh. Just picked up a 52k vin and my drivers door and mirror rattle like crazy over 80. Following this thread.

The Tampa SC took a look at my door today & said they came up with a fix very recently in their shop involving adding insulation inside the door between the door & panels. This was completed without damaging the door so no need to re-wrap. I’ll pick it up later today & time will tell how permanent this fix is. They did confirm there is no revised door yet so any swaps could be subject to the same problem. I’ll report back if the issue doesn’t seem resolved or reoccurs.

For those asking my door is still solid after the repair. When I spoke to the service manager at the Tampa SC in February when my door was fixed he said they had just developed a fix they’d use on my door & that they’re an advanced SC, only 1 of 4 qualified to work on the Roadster blah blah blah... Anyhow my door is still fine since they did the repair in February.

As of this week, my service center said they are still replacing the entire door and they have seen it a few times already.

Did they tell you how they did it or put notes in your ticket?

Service told me “known issue but no fix available at this time”. Marked my paperwork “within spec” and sent me on my way. Good thing I leased. Only gotta deal with a rattling door for 23 more months.

Every one of my doors was replaced at some point for the same issue. The problem is when they replaced them, a massive water leaking problem started on two of the doors that was never able to be resolved. Also, once they replaced the doors, they were never able to properly align them with the adjoining exterior panels. So I was faced with a choice of either having a good seal or a good fit, but I could not have both.

Luckily, I don’t have to worry about that anymore.

So they replaced the driver door for me. I had to get it rewrapped which was a PITA.

The kicker - this new door also rattles but feels like its in the early stages of the issue. Once I take it offroading - im sure the adhesive on the inside will fail and start to rattle like crazy. Im gonna put another ticket in and see if they can fix the existing door vs having to replace it.

They replaced my door - now the new door is failing just like you had suggested...

for the folks who had it fixed - can you give me the names of the service centers / locations? The service manager at my SC wants to contact your managers and get the fix. REALLY appreciate it.

Is this door rattle while driving and when closing the door, or only one of the other?

My VIN is 52k and my driver door has a little rattle when I close it. Wondering if this is the sign of the adhesion issue or not. It sounds like something inside the door rattles.
