All of a sudden last week I started hearing a lot more road noise than usual from behind the driver’s seat in my Model 3. I found your explanation and tried this method… and bingo! All sorted. Many thanks from Ireland 🇮🇪
It’s funny how satisfying learning about something simple like this is. Mine is a 2020 and unlike me it hasn’t started to sag - yet! Thanks for the time and effort you gave to produce this. Stay safe and healthy!
I just wanted to say thanks for the video. I freaked out a little bit when one of my windows would close then re-open after locking the car. It did take a couple attempts to get the window to stay up for step 1 but once calibrated it closed correctly when locking. I really appreciate the video! Subbed :)
I recently had tint installed, and after trying to open the drivers window after that, it would not auto open or close... all the other windows were OK. Probably something that happened when they were installing tint. The tesla guy was out installing hoimelink and recalibrated the windows and it fixed the issue immediately. In fact, he said there is an update and when you calibrate one it will calbirate all of them and all of mine did go up and down and now work great
I've bought GM cars and trucks for fifty years. They've all had power windows. I've never had a window that needed calibrating and I've never had a window switch failure. I'm getting ready to order a model 3 but this really surprises me.
This is for frameless windows, as I explain. You likely never owned a car with frameless windows. Regardless, it’s not something most people will have to do, but if you do have certain issues, this can fix them. This is 100% regardless of brand and is not unique to Tesla in any way. As I also say in the video, it’s likely only a handful of companies make the regulators every manufacturer uses for their windows in the first place.
I watched quite a lot of people complaining about this online about Teslas. Makes sense how it works now that is explained. Out of curiosity is it in the manual somewhere?
"And thats all you gotta do to calibrate the windows in Tesla" And thats the first time in 25 years of driving i gotta find out how to calibrate windows.
Hmmmmm......2014 Model S P85+ signature here. I just replaced the driver door (skin) and I did align the window vs the front guide but i noticed that it sort of pushes into the rubber at the top more than it did before. I thought it probably needs new top bottom limits set with Toolbox but then I saw your video. After holding the button for 30 secs the window did not move and i had to wait 30 secs before moving it down. Same wait at the bottom position. Moved to the top, same again. The calibration should have been completed then, but i cannot see any difference. Any advice here?
Is there any way to adjust the lower limit upwards? There's an annoying rattle when closing a door with the window all the way down. I figure raising the lower limit might help.
My 1-week old M3 is opening back windows on its own. Not all the time, just random. Windows closed when car locked, but then notice them open when I’m driving. I read this is an issue with others. Could calibration help with this? I’m not hitting power switch by mistake, as some suggest. Thanks.
Calibration is absolutely the first thing to try. It could mean that the pressure switch meant to protect fingers and things from getting closed in the window is getting activated by bumps and/or buffeting. Calibration will take care of that. That’s certainly what Tesla techs would try first.
Good tip. I have this problem sometimes in my driver's window. Randomly when I try to close the window, it'll go up about 4 inches, then drop to completely open again. I'm wondering if this is it.
@@TheTechofTech Well. Looks like it didn't work. If anything, it's gotten worse over time. It does nothing. Even on the 3rd step rolling it up, it goes up 4 inches and drops again. Perhaps my regulator needs to be replaced. :(
Do you know if there’s a way to calibrate the auto sensing windshield wipers. Seems when I have it on the lowest setting and it rains it goes super fast Tesla model S 2019
That's a great question that I can answer. All can be done from any of the controls. The calibration is being done in the regulator itself and no the switches.
Maybe, but it's way easier to do one at a time, and if a finger slips off the switch, you have to start all over for that window. You're literally talking about the difference of two minutes, max.
Thanks for the video very informative. I just wished that this helped my situation. I just got the car and got the windows tinted and now my driver side window won’t roll all the way up. It’s so annoying.
@@TheTechofTech Window doesn’t roll all the way up. When I roll it up, it comes back down. I can slowly roll it up to a rest but whenever I go from a vent or crack to all the way up (and holding) it comes back down
It’s not really unique to Tesla at all. However, not a lot of other cars will let you know if your windows are down. The more we see this as a feature in other cars, the more we'll see this issue.
