M3 rear door button pushed in - doesn’t work

[starharbour]

Hi there
I had an unfortunate accident recently whereby I accidentally impacted the rear drivers side door button. The button is physically pushed in and no longer works.
Wondering if anyone has had this issue in the past? I contacted Tesla service and they attended and tried to fix but couldn’t - advised I needed a new door panel
If it wasn’t £350 id just eat it and move on. Wondering if there’s a manual way to fix it that anyone knows of ?

Does it unlock from outside? And what about unlatch doors from the app does that work? If you want to save the £350 just use unlatch door from app when you are inside. And you can child lock the door that side if anyone questions it
Btw is it still under warranty?

By the looks of the logo on the button, I would say yes.

Is this a model 3? ... there are some on eBay, Here is one

Yes the car is under warranty but will this be covered by Tesla as it was my fault?
2021 M3 SR+
The door opens fine from outside
Child lock is on so it doesn’t unlatch mid drive
Button doesn’t work to unlatch from inside
Just wondering if there’s a manual fix to pull button out. I’m selling the car so the ROI on £350 is pretty poor

the switch is available on its own - but whether the mounting is also damaged...

Thanks MrT. Tesla technician inspected and said wholr door card needs replacing as can’t access the button - even after removing door card

Did you use the unlatch all doors from your app. Because if you need it to unlatch the door you can use that option. Not sure about ways to pull this out.

Thanks. Issue really is more to do with fixing it before I sell. I’ve ordered the part on eBay thanks to Js1977 suggestion

Never heard of this. Where can I find it in the app?

Its just the unlock tab

That control doesn’t unlatch though, which is what I thought @spdpsba was referring to.

probably a typo for unlock. There isn't one for unlatch all.

Strangely enough that’s a feature via the Tessie app. You can unlatch any door individually or all doors at once.
