MX 2020 LRP - anything to know to push the rim back in?

[ThisIsMask]

Hi,

I'm not sure why the rim above the wheel came off. Nothing seems broken and I noticed there are some clips to push back in. At the moment there's some resistance so I wonder if anyone had similar issue and best practice to push it snap back in?


Thanks.

I had one that separated, but it was after the wrap shop removed it to install the wrap. I think the part was less than $50. My wrap shop bought the part from the Tesla Service Service Center and installed under the wrap warranty. You should be able push it back in. If that doesn’t work, you may have to replace it.

Thanks, Why did they need to buy the part but they couldn't push it back it?

Because they it broke when they removed it. Generally those wheel well trim parts are meant to be only installed once. Sometimes they survive being removed, and sometimes not.
