Installed! Austin MY C Pillars for Parcel Shelf
- Thread starter DealMasterMike
- Start date
I never got any estimate through the app I was too anxious lol.
You could text them on the chat and just ask if any parts have arrived and see what their response is.

I got a response from my local dealer. I ordered on 8/1 and picked an 8/6 appointment. They responded saying the parts wouldn't be in and re-scheduled my appointment to 8/11.
My take here is that they're not going to cancel my order.
I don't have an invoice yet, so we'll see.

I set the appointment for two weeks out, I figured that would give them enough time to get all the parts in. Would be nice if they got them in sooner in the SC gave me a call or message through the app.

Mobile service is scheduled to drop mine off tomorrow. I sent a message in the service chat today to confirm the parts were in and they are dropping it off tomorrow, but got no response. =/
SC sent me a message that parts came in. Will pickup tomorrow
Awesome! If the pillars are wrapped in bubble I suggest checking them for the shelf molding to be sure they are the right ones before you leave.
Congrats on getting one side completed! It is totally a PITA and it was hot in my garage so I was sweating up a storm in the back of the car, hence no video.
transferring the seatbelt was not fun. After a quick dip in the pool I did the other side as well. This time I didn’t move the factory foam and things snapped back together much easier.
TBH I’m a bit underwhelmed with the way the shelf lifts, I was expecting the same articulation as in my old Model S.
Anyway going for a drive later to see if did anything to overall noise level in the car.

Yeah the factory foam is thick, far thicker / dense than the NVH that comes with the new panels. Glad to hear you got it back together though cause it isn't a walk in the park. The MS we have i'd say is comparable for the shelf, but w/out the magnets to keep it all in place.

Just completed mine this morning too as soon as mobile service dropped off the parts. Took me 1hr for one side, then 15mins on the other side since I knew what to do. Tesla service kept asking if I was sure I wanted to install it myself, he was shocked that I kept denying his service.
As DealMasterMike suggested I transferred over the foam pieces, you can see the comparison on the pictures.
Also here is pictures of the seatbelt bolt, it took me awhile the first time to find and remove.
All done for only $218.

The biggest hurdle is just getting the feel of how hard to pull on the panels to pop them off (it does feel like your going to break something). And the trim panel that is hooked under the headliner is tricky to get back in, you have to do a lot of pulling on the headliner and pushing the trim back in. Once you get the first one done, you will get more confident on doing the other side.

It is possible to also leave it in the half folded position to make some more space. I was at Costco and some things piled up where this position helped. Otherwise, super tall items will block the rear window and most likely you’d already know the shelf isn’t needed to leave at home.
