As a critical "motion control component" for your Tesla Model 3’s
rear doors, this premium brand-grade door check strap (Part No. 1089509-00-B) is exclusively engineered
to match the specifications of 2017–2023 Model 3 vehicles (fits all
trims: Standard Range, Long Range, and Performance). It mounts
between the rear left/right door and the vehicle’s B-pillar (middle
body frame), serving two non-negotiable roles: limiting the rear
door’s maximum opening angle (to avoid collisions with curbs,
walls, or nearby passengers) and holding the door securely in
partial-open positions (e.g., keeping it from slamming shut in wind
or rolling closed on slopes when loading rear cargo or helping
passengers enter/exit). A worn or broken check strap leads to
loose, uncontrollable rear door movement—this brand-grade
replacement restores the smooth, stable door operation your Model 3
was designed for.
Your Model 3’s rear doors rely on this check strap to stay safe and
convenient—its value goes beyond "stopping the door":
- Prevents Over-Swing Damage: Limits the rear door’s maximum opening angle to ~60° (factory
standard), stopping it from hitting parking curbs, garage walls, or
even small passengers near the rear (a key safety detail for
families). It also avoids dents to the rear door edge or scratches
to the B-pillar paint.
- Secures Door for Daily Use: Features built-in "detent points" that hold the rear door at 25°
and 40° open positions. This keeps the door steady when loading
groceries, strollers, or luggage into the rear, and prevents it
from slamming shut on hands when helping kids or elderly passengers
get in/out.
- Reduces Hinge & Seal Wear: Distributes the rear door’s weight evenly when open, avoiding
excessive strain on rear door hinges (a common cause of squeaking)
and door seals (prevents water leaks or wind noise from worn seals
in Model 3s with faulty check straps).
- Stops Wide Swings: When you open the rear door, the strap tightens at the maximum
safe angle—no more accidentally hitting the door on a parking curb
or bumping it into a shopping cart.
- Holds Door Steady: If you prop the rear door open to load a suitcase, the strap
"clicks" into place and keeps it from blowing shut in wind or
rolling closed on a sloped driveway.
- Feels Like Factory: Unlike flimsy generic straps, this one moves smoothly with the
rear door—no jerky motions, squeaks, or stretching. Closing the
rear door feels tight and secure, just like when your Model 3 was
new.
- Tough for Daily Use: The reinforced webbing doesn’t fray (even if you open the rear
door 15+ times a day for passengers or cargo) and the steel
hardware won’t rust from rain, snow, or road salt.
Don’t ignore these red flags—they mean your rear left/right door
check strap is worn or broken:
- Rear Door Opens Too Wide: The rear door swings past its normal 60° angle and may hit
objects, feel unstable, or scrape against the B-pillar.
- Door Won’t Stay Open: The rear door closes on its own when parked on slopes, or won’t
hold in partial-open positions (e.g., slides shut in light wind).
- Loose/Wobbly Door: The rear door feels "floppy" when opening/closing—you may hear
rattling or clicking from the B-pillar area.
- Visible Damage: The strap is frayed, torn, or stretched; or the mounting hardware
is rusted, loose, or missing.
- Squeaking Noises: Loud squeaks come from the rear door area when opening/closing
(caused by a worn strap rubbing against the B-pillar or hardware).
Generic rear door check straps cut corners on material and
design—this one is built for Model 3’s exact rear door needs:
- Tesla-Spec Durability: Uses multi-layer polyester webbing (same thickness and tensile
strength as factory standards) instead of thin nylon (which
stretches or tears in 5–10 months). The steel hardware has
anti-corrosion plating (unlike generic bolts that rust and seize in
the B-pillar over time).
- Perfect Fit, No Mods: Mounts using Model 3’s original bolt holes in the rear door and
B-pillar—no drilling, trimming, or adjustments to the door frame.
The included rubber buffer matches the factory’s noise-dampening
design (avoids rear door rattle when driving on highways).
- Factory-Like Detent Points: Calibrated to hold the rear door at the same 25°/40° positions as
the original strap (generic straps often have too-loose or
misaligned detents that won’t keep the door steady).
- Long-Lasting Performance: Resists UV damage (won’t fade or crack in direct sunlight) and
moisture (works in heavy rain, snow, or humidity)—built to last 5+
years, vs. 1–2 years for generic alternatives.
- 1x Rear Left/Right Door Check Strap (1089509-00-B)
- 2x Brand-spec steel mounting bolts (torque specs align with Tesla’s
official service manual: 24 Nm for body-side bolts, 10 Nm for
door-side nuts)
- 1x Rubber vibration-dampening buffer
- Digital Installation Guide: Step-by-step photos, how to safely
remove the rear door panel (using plastic trim tools to avoid
breaking interior clips), locate factory mounting points in the
B-pillar, and install the new strap—no special tools needed (a
socket wrench, T40 bit, and flathead screwdriver suffice).
Note: Basic DIY skills recommended. Rear door panel removal takes
~20 minutes (the guide includes tips to avoid damaging the rear
door’s interior trim or wiring). No need to disconnect rear door
electrical components— the strap mounts to the outer edge of the
door, away from wires and controls.
- Warranty: Backed by a limited warranty. For detailed coverage terms (e.g.,
duration, eligible defects like strap tearing or hardware
corrosion), please reach out to our team.
- Technical Assistance: Our EV specialists have experience with Model 3 rear door
systems—they’re available via email or chat to answer installation
questions (e.g., "how to access B-pillar mounting points" or "how
to confirm torque specs") and help you complete the process
smoothly.
