NEW FOR TESLA MODEL 3 2017-2023 - FRONT HOOD LOCK BRACKET LEFT 1-1522287K61
The Front Hood Lock Bracket Left, identified by part number 1-1522287K61, is a specialized component designed exclusively for Tesla Model 3 vehicles manufactured between 2017 and 2023. As a key part of the front hood locking system, it plays a critical role in ensuring the safe and functional operation of the vehicle’s hood.
Core Functionality
Secure Lock Mechanism Support: This bracket is engineered to firmly anchor the left-side hood lock mechanism, providing a stable foundation that ensures the front hood locks securely when closed. By preventing unintended hood openings during driving, it safeguards both the vehicle’s internal components (such as the frunk and related systems) and enhances overall road safety.
Alignment and Smooth Operation: It maintains precise alignment between the left-side lock and the corresponding striker on the hood, enabling smooth, effortless opening and closing. This alignment prevents jamming, misalignment, or excessive wear on the lock components, ensuring consistent access to the front trunk area.
Compatibility
Vehicle Fit: Exclusively tailored for Tesla Model 3 models from 2017 to 2023, the bracket matches the vehicle’s unique structural dimensions and left-side mounting points. Its precision design guarantees a seamless fit without the need for modifications, making it an ideal replacement for original or damaged parts.
Replacement Scenarios
Damage or Wear: Replacement is necessary if the bracket is damaged (e.g., from collisions, debris impact) or deteriorates over time. Common signs include:
Difficulty locking or unlocking the hood, often due to misalignment.
Visible cracks, bending, or deformation that compromises the bracket’s structural integrity.
Loosening or instability, leading to rattling noises or uneven hood closure.
