Thanks for sharing, it helped!

I am also interested about the Thule cargo box model #. Thanks for great vid!

Hi. I don’t know if you realized already, but the protective 3M needs to be used if you don’t want to ruin your car’s paint. It wasn’t to protect during the installation. The post it notes didn’t do anything remotely close to the 3M “rubbery” protection. They need to stay under the rubber feet. I hope you still have them and are able to re-install to avoid the damage. The car looks great.

Thanks! I haven’t yet removed the rubber feet to check for damage, except after a bolt broke. There wasn’t any visible signs of scarring at that point.

Keep torquing until you hear a crack. Then you're golden

No telling how many times this has happened. Glad it never happened to me.

Thanks for the video! What model cargo box is it?

It’s a Large Thule Motion. Love the box; roomy and accessible from both sides.

T For 3 Thanks. Experienced any issues with the roof rack? Reading that there is reports of the J-bolts breaking.

No issues yet, thankfully. But I haven’t put a heavy load on it yet. Taking a trip soon. Your comment will prompt me to take the hex wrench with me in case a bolt breaks and I need to remove the whole setup.

No torque wrench?

Hello, I got my model 3 roof rack but I failed to install the sticker, do you think is there a problem is install without the sticker? Thanks a lot

Personally, no. I installed mine without the 'protective film' and I've removed the rubber feet twice and there is no sign of any scratching or other damage beneath them. As I say in the video, do this at your own risk but so far, no issues with my installation.

Hi, I’m about to install mine and wondering the same re the stickers, which I’m worried will be really obvious. I see it’s a year ago since this comment. Is it still holding up ok?

@@CookieOlster Hey Greg, I contacted Tesla and they told me that the stickers are actually optional, they only protect the painting in case you would like to remove the rack once in a while, but if you plan to do a full compound, wax once per year on the car you can remove the racks and protect the painting as well. But also I sent Tesla a message asking if they could provide me extra stickers and they sent me new ones as well. But as I said, they are optional.

@@ZaeSao Thanks for the reply. That’s interesting. I have it on without the stickers now, so will see how I get on!
