CFN Brand Left-Hand Rear Trunk Bracket Assembly (Rear Aerosheild) for Tesla Model X (2015–2021) | 1049739-00-G

Why This Bracket Matters for Trunk & Aerosheild Performance

1. Trunk Structural Anchor: It keeps the left-hand side of the rear trunk aligned with the vehicle’s body, eliminating gaps that let in dust, rain, or wind noise, and ensuring the trunk closes smoothly without catching.
2. Aerosheild Stabilizer: It securely fastens the rear aerosheild—a component that optimizes airflow over the trunk, reducing aerodynamic drag (critical for maintaining EV range) and minimizing wind turbulence at highway speeds.

Durability Built for Long-Term Use

• Material: Heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc plating (same as OEM) — resists rust from rain, road salt, and humidity, and won’t warp under temperature swings (-40°C to 80°C). Far more durable than cheap aluminum or plastic alternatives that crack easily.
• Contour & Fit: The bracket’s curved shape exactly matches the 2015–2021 Model X’s trunk profile, ensuring the aerosheild sits flush against the trunk (no airflow disruption) and the trunk maintains its factory-level closure tightness.

Installation (Follows Tesla’s Official Standards)

1. Prep: Open the rear trunk, locate the original left-hand bracket (mounted along the trunk’s rear edge, adjacent to the aerosheild), and remove the old bracket by detaching its mounting rivets/screws.
2. Clean & Prep: Wipe the bracket’s mounting surface on the trunk to remove dust or debris. Apply Tesla-approved structural adhesive to the bracket’s mating surface (per official specs) for enhanced stability.
3. Install & Secure: Align the CFN bracket with the existing mounting holes, then fasten it using 6.5mm diameter structural bulb rivets (matching OEM hardware). Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the trunk panel.
4. Test: Close and open the trunk repeatedly to confirm smooth operation, and check that the aerosheild is secure (no wobble or gaps).

Key Compatibility Note

• Replacing cracked, bent, or rusted original brackets.
• Restoring trunk alignment and aerosheild stability after collision repair.
• Ensuring proper airflow and range retention by keeping the aerosheild in factory position.
