New Model 3: Rear left bumper gap and also below rear lights

[Mr.Green]

hello all,

Just wondering if anyone had a similar issue with loose gap on the rear left bumper panel and also under the left rear light.

You can see the loose gap showing the clips as well which looks real bad. Looks like it was incorrectly installed causing defective clips. Hoping this would be an easy fix from either mobile service or at sc.

Anyone with similar issue or experience.

Appreciate the help!

You will likely need the SC order you a new bracket that connects the bumper to the car. My P3D has the same issue and I am waiting for the parts to make that gap flush. First they ordered just a new bumper but the issue was still there.

Hello,
Were you able to resolve this? I am having the same issue. I did address this to the tech at SC a couple of times but they are not willing to correct it. They just tell me that most model 3s have these gaps. Any suggestion what I can do?

Similar issue here, any updates?

The gap under taillight is easy fix. Remove the taillight and you can snap the bumper back in place.

i have the gap on the quarter panel and the SC and mobile service said thats how its supposed to be even though the other side is fine. i got tired of trying to convince them

I had the exact same issue with mine. it took three visits for them to finally repair it by replacing the bumper bracket.
