Replacement retaining clips for frunk cowling?

[chewy1337]

Does anyone know a part number, link to purchase, or 3D print file for the retaining clips that hold the model y frunk apron / cowling to the siding shown here? I’ve got a broken one, and I anticipate needing to replace these more than once. Thanks!

They are...

FRUNK-FENDER CLIP, ASY

1472872-00-C

and you should be able to pick them up at the Tesla Service Center. Might need to call ahead or open a service request in the app if they don't have them in stock.

And yes, these things break easily.

Thanks, Mike_TV. When I ebay search this item, all the results indicate these are for the Model 3 (rather than Model Y). Do the Model 3 and Model Y have the same retaining clips? Thanks.

these are absolute junk and im sure every tesla out there has broken ones. just go to a tesla shop and ask for some. They should be free. If they want you to pay for them then they are a shady SC. Just had a few of mine replaced last week for free. and yes THEY did the replacement, didn't just hand them to me and walk away. The shop will have a ton of extras because they break all the time......basically every time you take off the panel some of them will break or fall out

@rickybobbee Yep

@chewy1337 This the part number listed in the Model Y parts diagram and is the same clip used in Model 3. 70% of the parts from the Model 3 carried over to the Model Y. That's why the Model Y is so inexpensive to buy!

Update: I visited a service center and picked up a replacement clip. They charged me $1.19 for the replacement clip.
ASY 1472872-00-C was the part number.

When I got an initial service center quote the estimate was $10.

Pull up the model Y diagram and you should be able to find what you're looking for. They have every piece listed on there, in the exact order it gets put on the car. This should be a relatively cheap part, too.

The side clips are fragile, for sure. Once the tray is in position, I push down on the interior, hidden pins/clips until they pop into place, then check that the tray is inside the side clips. If you press down on the sides of the tray, the clips will break.
Fragile.

Broke mine too, both sides. I just left them off - they don’t seem like they’re very important for anything.

That was my point. They only support the edges of the cowling.

Same here, broke mine years ago. Never replaced them. All I noticed is if you push down on the edge it can go down a little and get caught under the fender till you pop it up. You have to intentionally do it though.

Hi, yep Mine broke too.

I found after-market ones on Aliexpress.. One Piece construction should be better, we'll see.
