I had a crack in the front passenger wheel trim and bought a replacement. I am struggling with how to put it on. The rear portion fits easily, but I can't figure out how to get the front part to fit. I'm struggling to clear the two air exhausts (I think that is what they are) and the sensor. Any tricks or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Replacing front passenger wheel trim garnish moulding

Hi,
I’m sorry I cannot be more descriptive but it has been a long time since I replaced mine.
At the front bottom of the garnish there is another piece of plastic that connects to the garnish with a torx screw.
The screw in mine was easily overlooked because the part was full of dirt and road grime.
If you cannot find it or cannot remove the torx screw don’t be afraid to ask for help from Tesla. The labor for them to install it was less than $20. (Mobile service)
Good luck,
Shawn

I already installed the screws and front bottom. It’s just the clips on front half of garnish are not getting in. May be I need to adjust sensor or air vents behind it but I don’t see any video or instructions on how to do that.
