Seat button fell off

[PorscheTaycan]

These parts are flimsy - the seat buttons in both my previous Tesla Model 3 AND Y came off too. I got Tesla to put them back under warranty.

This worked for me. Thanks so much for printing and sending it to me

I added some pics of the 3D model. The button cap (cosmetic piece) snaps into the post I printed, and then the post goes onto the center switch post, with a press-fit design with those ribs. It grips well enough to hold it on but not so strong it will break the post if it gets hit hard (it would just pop off instead of breaking again like the original part).

I'd be happy to make another one, kinda why I posted it. I can only print with PLA where I do it, it should ideally be printed in ASA or nylon but I haven't tried to set that up yet. My plan was that if there was real interest from others I'd set that up.

If you want I could set that up but ship it to me first to verify it works and then forward it to you...

Awesome! Thanks for testing it out!

In case anyone else wants to use this fix, you can order the part here and see the repair video: https://www.inevitable-labs.com/porsche-18-way-seat-fix

A related question. The part around the seat control block got damaged during the PDI and I did not notice it immediately.
Long story short, I have a replacement part and want to swap it. I see it is held by two screws, so there is hope I don’t need to remove the seat.
The question is - it seems that you need to unplug the seat control module. Provided that the car is turned off, will it work after plugged in? Or will need a dealer diagnostic?
