Installation Guidelines
Installing the TRUNK HINGE RIGHT HAND 1551481-00-E requires basic mechanical skills. Following these steps will ensure a secure installation:
Vehicle Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and disconnect the negative battery terminal (optional but recommended for safety).
Removing the Old Hinge:
Use a torque wrench to loosen and remove the bolts that secure the hinge to the trunk lid and the vehicle body (usually 4-6 bolts in total).
Mark the position of the hinge with masking tape to provide a reference for aligning the new part.
With an assistant supporting the trunk lid, carefully remove the old hinge.
Installing the New Hinge:
Align the new hinge with the masking tape marks or the original mounting holes.
First, hand-tighten the bolts to secure the hinge to the vehicle body, then to the trunk lid.
Adjustment and Torque Tightening:
Close the trunk to check the alignment (the gaps should be even and flush with the vehicle body).
Adjust the bolts if necessary, then tighten them to the torque value specified by Tesla (usually 25-30 Nm).
Reconnect the Battery (if disconnected) and test the trunk operation.
Note: Please refer to the 2021 Tesla Model 3 service manual for torque specifications and safety precautions. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results.
