Installation

1. Initial Setup: Ensure that your vehicle is parked in a safe and stable location. Use appropriate jack stands if needed to keep the vehicle secure. Gather all the necessary tools, such as wrenches, screwdrivers, and any other specialized tools recommended in the Tesla service manual.
2. Removing the Old Hinge: Locate the existing right - hand trunk hinge. There are typically bolts or nuts that fasten the hinge to both the trunk lid and the vehicle body. Use a wrench to carefully loosen and remove these fasteners. It can be helpful to apply masking tape on the trunk lid and the vehicle body to mark the position of the current hinge. This will make it easier to align the new hinge correctly. With the assistance of another person, gently remove the old hinge from the vehicle.
3. Installing the New Hinge: Place the new TRUNK HINGE RIGHT HAND 1092821 - 00 - E on the vehicle. Align it with the marks you made earlier or with the mounting points on the body. First, install the nuts or bolts that attach the hinge to the vehicle body and hand - tighten them. Then, with the help of your assistant, position the trunk lid on the hinge and align it properly. Hand - tighten the bolts that attach the hinge to the trunk lid.
4. Adjustment and Finalization: Close the trunk and check the gap and flushness between the trunk lid and the vehicle body. If the alignment is not perfect, you may need to adjust the hinge bolts and the trunk latch to modify the trunk lid gap and ensure a proper fit. Once you are satisfied with the alignment, open the trunk again and torque the bolts to the recommended specifications as per the Tesla service manual.
