Is this loose rubbery thing a problem?

[BrianZ]

I don't even know how to describe this. But this rubbery thing underneath the car is drooping a bit. It happens on both sides of the car. I have another model 3 that doesn't have this problem. Does anyone know anything about this? Tesla wants to charge me $100 just to take a look at the problem even though the car is under warranty.

Thanks everyone

It's cosmetic. Maybe superglue would fix it?

Judging by the marks to the left of this overhanging thingy, it looks a though the car went over something. The paint appears to have some fine scratches too. There might be more to this than meets the eye, so to speak.

Mine did that. You can actually just bang it back up there usually. I think maybe some clips or friction hold.

I had that issue and they ordered me one. But the Tesla tech just pushed it back in place. Worth a shot.

Car is totalled

If the clips are damaged, it will eventually fall down and need to be replaced. I had to replace mine and I think it was around $250. Mine was damaged when I ran over a curb trying to get out of the way of a fire truck.

From the picture, its definitely scraped (it didnt "just fall down there"), so the OP statement of "I have another model 3 that doesnt have this problem" might be because they didnt run over whatever it was that caused those scrapes on that part and the body colored part above it.

Push on the arrows.

Messing around with on mine, there’s an inlay with a small plastic, square cover. When I pull and open it there’s a screw hole, but no screw. It’s the same on both sides of the car. Maybe place a screw in that hole and that’ll hold it up?

Where do you get the arrows? Amazon?

Thank you so much guys. I just pushed it back up hard like a few of you mentioned and it was all good! Thanks again
