Passenger's Door Window Switch (Gloss) for Tesla Model 3 2020 | 1081038-01-E

The Little Control That Makes a Big Difference

For passengers in your 2020 Tesla Model 3, this glossy window switch is more than just a button—it’s their gateway to comfort. Whether they want to let in a breeze, snap a photo, or adjust airflow, the 1081038-01-E turns their small requests into seamless action. Designed to mirror the driver’s side switch in both feel and function, it maintains Tesla’s signature interior harmony while giving passengers easy, intuitive control over their space.

Glossy Design: Form Meets Function

Tesla’s choice of a high-gloss finish here isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s a deliberate design move. The smooth, reflective surface complements the Model 3’s minimalist dashboard and door panels, creating a cohesive look that feels premium to the touch. Unlike matte alternatives, the gloss finish resists discoloration from sunlight or hand oils, staying crisp even after years of use.

 

The switch itself is sculpted to fit naturally under a passenger’s fingers. Its slight curve and raised edge make it easy to locate without looking—perfect for kids, guests, or anyone unfamiliar with the car. That satisfying "click" when pressed? It’s not accidental. Tesla calibrated the tactile feedback to confirm the command, so passengers know their window will respond.

What It Does (Beyond Rolling Windows)

This switch isn’t just a simple up/down control—it’s integrated into the Model 3’s smart systems:

 

  • Auto-Limit Protection: If a passenger holds the switch too long, the system automatically stops the window at full open/close to prevent motor strain.
  • Safety Lock Sync: Works with the driver’s "window lock" function—when activated, it disables passenger controls to keep kids (or pets) from accidentally opening windows.
  • Obstacle Detection: Just like the driver’s side, it communicates with the window motor to reverse direction if it hits an object (a hand, a backpack strap), preventing pinches or damage.

When to Replace: Signs It’s Time

  • No Response: Pressing the switch does nothing, even when the driver’s controls work—likely a worn internal contact or broken wiring.
  • Sticky Operation: The button sticks in the "pressed" position, causing the window to creep open/closed—often due to spilled liquids (soda, coffee) seeping into the mechanism.
  • Flickering Movement: The window stutters or stops midway, then starts again—indicates a failing circuit board in the switch.
  • Cosmetic Wear: Chips, scratches, or a dulled finish that breaks the interior’s sleek look (common with ringed fingers or frequent use).

DIY Installation: Quick and Painless

You don’t need a mechanic to swap this out. Here’s how:

 

  1. Gently Pry the Bezel: Use a plastic trim tool to release the clips holding the switch bezel to the passenger door armrest. Start at the top edge to avoid scratching the gloss surface.
  2. Unplug the Harness: The switch connects via a 6-pin connector (smaller than the driver’s side, since it lacks master controls). Press the tab and pull to disconnect.
  3. Swap the Switch: The 1081038-01-E clicks into the bezel with spring clips—no screws needed. Ensure it sits flush to keep the gloss finish looking seamless.
  4. Test It Out: Reconnect the harness, snap the bezel back, and try all functions: up, down, and (if your Model 3 has it) the "vent" position. Check that the driver’s window lock disables it—safety first.

Why It’s Specific to 2020 Model 3s

Tesla updated its window switch electronics in 2020, and the 1081038-01-E is calibrated to match that year’s body control module (BCM) software. Using a switch from another model year might cause odd behavior—like the window stopping short or the touchscreen throwing an error. This one? It’s a perfect match, right down to the electrical frequency.

 

For 2020 Model 3 owners who care about keeping their car’s interior as intentional as Tesla designed it, this passenger switch is a small part that makes a big difference in daily comfort.
