ASSEMBLY, REAR QUARTER OUTER, POWERED TRUNK, LEFT 1073677-ST-B Metal 16512748

Basic Information

Core Functions

1. Structural Support

• Withstanding dynamic stresses during driving (e.g., vibrations, cornering forces).
• Enhancing crash safety by absorbing and distributing impact energy in collisions.

2. Protection and Aesthetics

• Environmental Shield: Covers and protects internal components (e.g., wiring harnesses, trunk actuators) from external elements like rain, dust, and debris.
• Sleek Integration: Designed to match the vehicle’s rear contour, ensuring a seamless, factory-finished appearance that complements the overall design language.

3. Powered Trunk Synergy

• Provides mounting points for trunk hinges, electric motors, and latch mechanisms.
• Ensures stable alignment of moving parts, enabling smooth, reliable operation of the automatic trunk opening/closing function.

Maintenance and Replacement

• Professional Installation: Due to its integration with both the body structure and powered trunk electronics, replacement requires technical expertise. It is recommended to be serviced at Tesla-authorized centers or qualified workshops.
• Replacement Process:
  1. Removal of surrounding trim and fasteners to access the old assembly.
  2. Disconnection of electrical connectors linked to the powered trunk system (if applicable).
  3. Secure fitting of the new 1073677-ST-B assembly, ensuring precise alignment with adjacent panels.
  4. Reconnection and testing of the powered trunk mechanism to verify functionality (e.g., smooth operation, proper latching).
