I had leftover P seals Which I used to run down the left and right vertical part of the trunk. The trunk now closes with a nice solid thunk just like the doors with seals added.

The kinked areas of trunk I did it in 2 sections because I think that will come off if you don’t split it

Hey man im working in car manufactury few years, we re making premium cars like cayenne or q8 and frunk seal is using mainly to improve air dynamic, u should check your consumption

That's a good point. I doubt I could see a difference since there are so many variables when considering driving efficiency. I do have a lifetime rating of 237 Wh/mi at 18k miles. I'll see if it changes over time.

Thanks for the video. Are you sure you didn’t invert the frunk and trunk seals? Seems to me the thicker one should go in the front, the thinner one in the back?

Yes, they have the seals labeled. The 10x10mm was installed in the trunk. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71zlbu4EpYL._SL1500_.jpg The 16x8.5mm was installed in the frunk. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/711tTOmzWpL._SL1500_.jpg

I had not looked closely before buying this same kit and was bummed to find it was not for "all the way around" the trunk, only the outer and bottom edges. What do you think about using the frunk seal material to go around the top edge of the trunk, near where it meets the glass. I'd like to have the open ends of the tubing facing down when the trunk is closed, rather than facing up at the top of the outside corners. Have you seen any water get in the tubing when trunk is closed?

I never noticed any water in the tubing. I have since removed the trunk gasket due to the difficulty in closing and no sound deadening benefits.

I’m really interested if this prevents water from getting into the trunk. I have this problem and I’ve had Tesla replace the seals without and effect on the problem. I’ve also found that after a rainfall if I check my trunk and it’s dry if then go for a drive on the highway and then check my trunk it has water in it. Evidentially, the water on the glass hood is being pushed down into the trunk from the high speed driving.

It would seem that the rubber seal between the window and the trunk lid would be the issue. These additional seals do not help in that area. I got water in the lower level of the trunk one time, but I'm not sure if it was just water that poured in over the rear window when the lid was open.

Hank, I've had the EXACT same problem and I've brought it into Tesla Service 3 times without any success. They claim they remove/reapply the seal and water test it, but I still find water in my trunk periodically (especially after high speed driving... which my daily commute consists of). Very frustrating, but thankfully I have the all-weather cargo tray in the trunk. Nice to know I'm not the only one experiencing this

@@MTNRanger Correct, it just collects on the tray rather than soaking the trunk liner. Obviously it's not a long-term solution but it's better than nothing. I agree, Tesla has to re-design the seal... however, I still love the car and wouldn't trade it in for anything else

Why would these seals have to be applied by the owner? Does this point up issues with the build quality? Would love to get a Tesla but am concerned about these issues not found with other vehicles.

You're going to have drainage issues with the trunk. Water getting in from the top will pool up at the bottom and spill out when you open the trunk.

After looking around on Amazon, it appears that the Motrobe is the only option with decent ratings. It looks like nobody is making weather seals just for the frunk and trunk areas anymore.

I ended just removing it he trunk gasket since it didn’t seem to help. The door ones are the only gaskets that I think make it better. Thanks for the suggestion.
