Model 3 Frunk Repair

Can these sort of alignment issues with the frunk be easily corrected? Anyone with an automotive background to provide some guidance.

Apparently you can use the little bumpers to fiddle with how high/slow it sits, but I'm guessing you'll need to loosen whatever fasteners connect the hinges to the body to adust the left/right alignment.

If this is really your car, why accept it without commenting to the delivery center staff?

I did not say the car was mine. I saw the vehicle at a Tesla store and wondered if the condition could be easily corrected or was considered within specification.

Do you have an automotive background or experience?

1. Thats probably why Twiglett stated 'IF its really your car'
2. Easily corrected @ home by owner, or fixed by Tesla at a service center? Your original post is not very clear
3. I've been driving for years, that definitely qualifies as automotive experience - much like everyone else on this forum. I have no professional history in the automotive world, but I have rebuilt cars in my personal life. Your request is vague
4. Twiglett's post was very helpful in suggesting that you can request Tesla to fix this before accepting the vehicle and not necessarily something you would have to do post-delivery.
5. To answer your question: It's fairly common, and not a difficult fix from Tesla. Generally, a couple bolts loosened on the hinges, adjusted, and tightened.

Also, there is a search function on this forum that will provide you with dozens of threads on this very topic.

You don't need an "automotive background" to get the service or delivery center to correct a fitment problem, which was my point and why I asked if it was your car.
Simple fix with no tools required
