Folks it supposed to have clip/grommets holding the wheel well liner. I had one missing and some folks lot more missing. Get this fixed. There is a thread about missing clips.
Shoddy quality and poor QC and missing parts..
Same issue. I'm curious if anyone has had it fixed yet and what the official fix entails.
I had mobile ranger come and add the clips to these holes. The ranger told me that early this year, the engineers in the factory determined that these clips are no longer necessary and thus every car afterwards skipped the step. He though addressed my concern of dirt/noise and add the clips back for me. It was a <10 mins fix for the ranger.
That is some BS by that ranger. Even car that is delivered yesterday has all clips in place. Stiff cloth like liner needs these clips to keep it place when this liner gets loaded with dirt/mud/water etc.
BTW, these clips system for liner is no different than many other manufacturers.
Guys, please do not buy into this BS, and confuse new folks.

My Model 3 has this problem as well. Doesn’t stick out as much as the original poster’s does, but the passenger side is fine so there is hope it can be fixed. Once the ranger looks at my vehicle for the charge port issue, I’ll ask him to look at the wheel liner. Hope all goes well for us!
Some people say yes, some people say no. But given that it seems like almost all of the Model 3s seem to come without them, that they made a change and now longer use those holes. Maybe the next revision of the liner won't have the holes.
Kinda feel the same way - don’t want dirt etc to build up in there!

I wonder if Tesla figured they could save 3 cents by eliminate the plastic rivets in these locations. There clearly not "lightening holes", so it seems they are there to secure and align the liner.
P.S. What's with that wheel liner material? Looks like some fiberboard stuff that wouldn't last a week in wet weather...hope its stronger than it looks.
I took delivery in August and have 1 of 3 with clips in them. So one would think they should have at least some.
Seriously, if you do not have any idea about these clips, please do not comment. If you care to read other thread you see this is not only place they forgot to put clips.
Just took delivery of 6th Model 3 car yesterday for a friend and it has all the clips.
Anyone who worked on cars would know, these clips are required and common across many manufacturers.
Whoever is doing QC must be horrible, see another example here..It made from plant, QC, PDI and so on..

I don't care what anyone says 
- the liners need to be secured to prevent dirt and cruft getting behind them (prior poster also said this)
Now I see mine are missing and you can bet I'm gonna get them.

Got a few clips from service center and popped them in for the rear, had 2 missing. the front liner has holes missing but the metal behind it is solid, so maybe updated liner in the future for the fronts. My VIN 51K
I have a hunch the hole might be behind the liner. Your liner doesn’t seem completely correctly lined up there.
