Hello everyone, I am a Chinese Tesla owner. I own a 2020 tesla model 3. like everyoneit doesn't have a Power Trunk Retrofit. I see people talking about this office power Trunk Retrofit button. In the previous year i did a DIY. I tried a lot of ways in order to make my aftermarket electric trunk look more like the OEM one. Ended up purchasing a newer rear tailgate cover as well as chopping off some plastic before finally putting it on. he wasn't perfect, there were a lot of gaps as well as the escape button inside the tailgate was facing the opposite way. A couple of points I would like to make.
- There are some differences in the sheet metal structure between the Model 3 with an electrified trunk and the model 3 without an electrified trunk, resulting in slightly different shapes of the inner cover of the trunk.
- The opening direction of the escape button is also completely different on these two cars.
- It is unavoidable to install gaps in the trunk lid of new cars on older cars.
- It is very difficult to install new OEM buttons in the old cover because there are some supporting structures inside the cover.
Hope this information is helpful.
