Ripped up the Lower Rocker Cover/Skirt Trim on Passenger Side

[paulhinrichsen]

Hey Everyone,

New here, but not a new Tesla owner...I've had my M3 for about 2 years. Recently, a weird curb pulled part of the passenger side "base rocker lower cover" which runs from the front to the back wheel on the underside of the car off. It damaged the plastic piece, and broke some clips.

Has anyone replaced this? If so where did you find the part, and where did you find the clips? I am not super handy with cars, but I have found some on Ebay that are the same, and seem to have clips on them...but what about whatever they clip into? Has anyone paid Tesla to fix this, and remembers the cost? Any advice on what to do is awesome! Here are some picks from my personal one, the parts catalog, and the underside of my model 3.

You got quite lucky not damaging the metal (too much). Just write down the part number and go to the Tesla service center to order the part. Install at your leisure. Seems like it's just a few bolts.

Sadly yes and a little bit of the metal as well - in my case I dealt with my misery by bringing it to a local shop. Tesla sent them the part in 1 day (yes I was shocked) and they were able to clean up the bent bits in a couple days (my luck, holiday weekend)

do you know what they charged you, or would you share your invoice with me... minus your personal details of course

@paulhinrichsen I'm still looking for the paperwork, I feel like it was much less than I thought it would be - I'll PM you when I find the papers

Seems like an easy fix. Curious how much that rocker piece costs as well.

I just ripped off my conductor wheel liner and did break the rocker piece as well.
I have this as a proposed bill by TSC :
1. Wheel arch liner - remove and replace : 35 CAD
1a. Wheel liner piece (1081581-00-C) : 105 CAD
2. Base Rocker lower cover (plastic) - remove and replace : 35 CAD
2a. Rocker piece (1089828-00-D): 310 CAD

Total before taxes : 485 CAD

Does that seem reasonable ?
