Rear Carbon Fiber spoiler lose on MY?

[hamstd]

Curious to ask MY owners, my spoiler is coming loose on my 2021 MY performance. (I could easily pull it off if I wanted to). Is this something that I should bring back to Telsa to repair or do people have recommendations? Thanks

It’s a known issue with MYP spoilers. Tesla can replace or repair it.

Since you're under warranty, definitely bring it back to Tesla. If you were outside of warranty, it's just double-stick tape AFAIK.

Extremely common... Tesla will replace under warranty but it will like keep on happening.

I’m on #5 and it is already coming lose. Can’t believe this has not been redesigned yet.

How long does it take for you to notice another failure?

Mine is lose but I don't want to see how loose.

Last one started lifting 2 days after mobile guy came to house. This is absurd, the bend is obviously wrong.

Here is the last spoiler when I scheduled the appointment.

I've had mine replaced 3 times. I just bought some of this and I'm going to try to re-attach it myself and see how it goes.

3m adhesive

This really has to be one of the most troublesome features of the MYP. I got mine in March and I already have an appointment to get it replaced next week. Even when adhered properly, I think it looks cheap and doesn't match the rest of the car; its poor design only exacerbates the issue.

Thank you everyone for the comments. Frustrating that only 6 months in and it is coming loose. Would hate to come out to the car and find it missing or worse just pulled off and dumped on the ground. Thank you

Next time you make sure the replacement spoiler has the exact same curve before attach to the car.

I got this one for my Long Range MY and couldn’t be more satisfied. It’s been almost a year and no issues

Definitely going aftermarket when warranty is up.

+1 just get the RPM one. I think Tesla molded their spoiler with the wrong radius and the spoiler just doesn't want to stay put on the rear hatch lip no matter how well adhered it is. I have had the RPM one on mine for about 5 months now with no issues whatsoever.

Im on #4 but this time it has stuck (for the past 2 weeks !!!!! ) which is alot longer than each other time....really stupid for tesla to slam their d!ck in the car door on something so simple. just looks bad for them

Here is my 5th spoiler after 3 weeks. Started lifting a few days after install.

Can’t say it is the hatch as it has been replaced due to an accident. Two spoilers on first hatch, new spoiler on new hatch lifted, next replacement lifted, now this one.

It’s hard to believe how much better the fitment is for the aftermarket spoiler compared to the OEM part. Most of the photos you guys post show that the spoiler is pulling away because it doesn’t even come close to the shape of the vehicle; that’s not the case with the RPM spoiler. When I dry fitted the spoiler on my vehicle it matched the shape of the vehicle perfectly with no gaps at all. So, when I pulled the backing and permanently attached the spoiler there was no tension that the adhesive had to overcome from the part not matching the vehicle; all it has to support is the weight of the spoiler which is negligible.
I know it’s an incremental cost that you shouldn’t have to shell out, but if I were someone who has tried multiple OEM replacements I probably would have given up in frustration and gone with the aftermarket part.

Yeah true but .. If we give up then tesla won’t fix it.. I’ll just keep calling it’s not a big deal. They have a mobile tech come out and I work at home so he just comes in

My 4th is holding tho, now I just jinxed it

I fixed it myself with 3M 4298 Adhesion Promoter and 3M Scotch 5952 VHB Tape. It has not come loose since me doing this! If you end up doing it yourself take your time, make sure everything is super clean! both the underside of the spoiler and trunk. I bet Tesla half the time doesn't clean the spoiler side and just tries putting more tape on.. it has to be pristine, no old tape left! then line everything up, have tape ready to hold it in place, then don't touch it for like 24 hours. Worked like a charm for me!
