M3 Frunk Clip Reinforcement

[JPVM3]

Does anyone now where this is used for? It seems to be very fragile and can’t hold any pressure. Most likely it’s broken at a lot of Model 3’s ...

Today I opened the frunk and removed the plastic cover for cleaning and just saw these items. There is one on each side.

It is called a “Frunk Clip Reinforcement”

i can't tell where you pulled those from, from either the picture or the diagram. it looks like you already replied to the other thread asking about this part. if it really is a spacer, it's probably something that was added/engineered to prevent the trim from shifting and/or rattling.

If you click on the link it is part nr 14. I’m curious if in other M3 it’s also broken.

i'm having the homelink installed on wednesday which requires some dismantling of the font area. i'll ask the installer if he knows what they are and if they're susceptible to breaking.

Service guy is here and has no idea what this clip is and I don't see it in my frunk. Can you provide more details where this came from?

Did you click on the link in the first post? From Tesla Lab, a detailed plan is visualized where it is exactly located.

Tesla service Center in R’dam answered that it didn’t have a function now only a support tool to hold plates.

Looks like it sits under the movable hooks?

If that part clips onto the 4 holes in the top part of the frunk tub, it looks like it hooks in from the bottom. I've never noticed it on my car.

yes i clicked the link. the diagram does not show me where the placement of the clip is (there are no arrows pointing to the location of install). we searched all over the barrier and liner and did not locate this clip. he believed that maybe the part has been updated since.

there were two "rotational spacers" under the top of the liner, near the windshield, but they did not resemble the item in your picture or the schematic.

It is clicked in the 4 holes, the photo presents the broken version, normally it’s connected with eachother.

Maybe we mean the same as “rotational spacers”.

My car was delivered with some of these missing. There should be 4 on each side. Meant to secure the frunk tub to the body. Replaced by SC but flimsy AH. New clips now broken.

Found this 3D model - they support these clips and stop the frunk trim from flexing (and not allowing the clips to engage).

I've installed in my car and trim is far more stable.

This video shows exactly where it goes and how they're so flimsy:
