Quick answer

Apply door control decals to your Tesla Model 3 or Model Y by cleaning the surface, peeling the decal, positioning it carefully, and pressing firmly to avoid bubbles.

Why use door control decals?

The door panel buttons on Tesla Model 3 and Model Y lack labels, which can be confusing for new passengers. Door control decals add clear icons for window, door open, and mirror controls without being obtrusive.

These decals are coated with a shiny silver material that enhances visibility in low light while still allowing normal nighttime illumination from the car's interior lights.

Important: Check your vehicle's build date

The Door Control Decals for Tesla Model 3 and Model Y are designed for vehicles built before November 2020. If your Tesla was manufactured after this date, the door control layout may differ, and these decals might not align correctly. Check your vehicle's build date on the driver's side door jamb sticker before purchasing.

Step-by-step installation guide

  1. Clean the door panel surface: Use a microfiber cloth with a mild cleaner or isopropyl alcohol to remove dust, oils, and residue from the area around the door controls. Let it dry completely. Any grease or moisture will prevent the decal from sticking and cause it to peel off later.
  2. Peel the decal from its backing: Carefully lift one corner of the decal with your fingernail or tweezers and peel it away from the paper backing. Avoid touching the adhesive side. If the decal curls or folds, it may not lie flat. Use tweezers for better control.
  3. Position the decal over the button: Hold the decal above the correct button (window, door open, or mirror) and lower it gently. Do not press down yet. Adjust alignment while the decal is still loose. Once the adhesive touches the surface, repositioning is difficult. Take your time to align it perfectly.
  4. Press firmly from the center outward: Use your fingertip or a soft cloth to press the decal down, starting from the center and moving to the edges. This pushes out air bubbles. If you see bubbles, lift the nearest edge slightly and re-press. Do not use a sharp object to pop them.
  5. Repeat for remaining decals: Apply the other three large and four small decals to the remaining door controls. The small decals are for the rear window switches and mirror controls. Match each icon to its function. The set includes both front and rear door icons.
