Tesla Front Trunk Weather Seal Install | Model Y + Model 3 | Air Inlet Seal

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I got a brand new product on the market that helps keep your vent area clear of water and debris. This rubber seal guard works for both the Tesla Model 3 or Tesla Model Y. I really think tesla should have installed this on all their vehicles as the rain water and debris seem to accumulate down into the vent from my experience.

_______________________
This is a super easy install as it all connects into place. When you first get your weather seal you'll notice it comes in three sections along with a rubber seal, some extra clips, and finally two packets of adhesive promoter. Take one end of the rubber seal and slide it into the track of the first piece. Make sure to choose an end piece as a starting point. Next take the middle piece and slide the rubber seal into the track until both pieces meet. You can see how both pieces connect by clipping them together like so. Finally take your last piece and again slide the rubber seal into the track and connect it with the middle piece. If you have a model 3 you may have some extra rubber that will need to be cut off. I’m assuming this is the correct length for the model Y as the pieces will be longer in the kit for the model Y purchase. Place it over the hood of your tesla and wipe down the end thoroughly to remove any dirt. Notice you'll have 4 plastic covers that will need to be removed with a pry tool. Take your time removing all four of these covers, 2 on the left and 2 on the right. Take the included adhesive promoter and wipe down the area where this rubber seal will be installed. Now remove all the red tape on the plastic trim and expose the sticky side of 3M adhesive tape. Finally line up the clips from the plastic trim with the holes from the hood of the tesla. You will hear them snap into place going from one side to the other. I also held down the tape section of each trim piece from about 5 secs ensuring it was secure to the hood. And that's it for the install. I did a quick water test before installing this weather seal and also tried it after installation. I will say I probably dumped too much water onto the hood as this would obviously not be a realistic rain storm. After opening the hood again you can see where the line is from the weather seal and again I think I poured too much water on here but realistically this would not be running down into the vent. The water probably pooled up behind the rubber seal and then when I opened the hood it ran downward. Not only for water, this should also help minimize leaves and pine needles from falling into the frunk area. Overall for the price of around 30 bucks I think this is a no brainer. What do you think of this new product, let me know down below. If you're interested, you can find it in the link below this video.

    Looks great! This is a pet peeve of mine for some reason. I think Tesla has further modified newer 2022 builds to better block water getting under the frunk However my late 2021 build didn't have this. IMO way tool much water gets under frunk during heavy rain or car wash.

    I just bought this for my model 3 but i don't have the little plugs in the hood. I actually have a larger piece that is the same size as the vent

    I dunno what it looks like before you put it on. Does it really have a lot of water/debris?

    I can see why the water pooled behind seal because the U-shaped curvature acts like a water scoop. Now you have to wonder how long the water will be trapped unless you open the hood. I think the amount of water you used was fine since it would be even more water with a car wash.

    i'm a bit confused, how does air for the climate system get into the vent now if that gap is sealed up?

    once installed you'll notice the sides are still exposed to the outside for air to flow in to.

    I just got one…it’s worthless, the concept is good, but the rubber seal is too short in its width. It needs another inch of rubber so it actually makes contact with the plastic of the front trunk. Take it through a car wash and see how much water you get in the filter hole.
