Fender trim came off going through puddle

[dohmer]

Hi,

Not sure if anyone has seen this before. Two days ago, I drove through a puddle. It was raining hard the night before. It was dark outside so I didn’t see the puddle. When the X went through it, water came up. I didn’t think anything was unusual although I was surprised there was quite a puddle there. I later found out that the front driver fender (black plastic trim) broke off. The PDC was left dangling so I had to tuck it in so it doesn’t keep hitting the tires. Anyone seen this before? Anyone know how much that plastic trim cost? I created the service schedule but don’t have an estimate from Tesla yet.

$55.00 it includes all the clips

It’s a bugger to put on.

You might have lost the ultra sonic sensor too.

Thanks @mswlogo, that's cheaper than I thought. Do they actually sell the part to you or need them to install it?

I went through an authorized body shop.
But I suspect you can get a service center to do the whole thing for not that much money.

That happened to me but my car had already been repaired from an accident. I took it back to the shop and the service writer said it’s a known issue (to them?). He said the trick is to connect the fender flares to the bumper cover first, before installing the bumper cover. in any case they took care of it for me.

I can believe that, I wasn’t about to take my bumper cover off It’s not necessary though.

There is one odd bolt that goes from the inside out into the flare. That blot is on another small trim piece on the bottom and that connects to the bumber cover. I just took that piece off and bolted it to the flare first. It’s a lot wiggling and swearing to get it on.

I think my body shop said they would put it on while I waited for like $50. I should have taken them up on it.

Your fender flare trim is between 200 and 300 Dollars...used on e-bay. The labor is about the same. You're looking at roughly 600 Dollars if nothing else, like a sensor needs replacing.

A lot of Tesla parts are WAY over priced on eBay.

Like I said $55.00 from Tesla.

$300 to install would be highway robbery.

Now if you need new sensors and/or wiring, yes.

$55? when was this? I paid Tesla a few hundred within the last 6 months for the part.

I had to have both fender garnishes replaced at the same time:

Driver - Bumped a snow pile and it pulled free, eventually broke loose
Passenger - While waiting for "parts" - the passenger side literally flew off while driving down the highway - no previous damage to garnish, so real weird

Mobile service replaced both, and due to the passenger garnish tearing off at highway speeds, they had to replace a harness under the bumper cover for the parking sensors.

$55/ea for the fender garnish
$110 for the wiring harness
$185 for labor
