Thank you JD for showing us how to remove the trim pieces. I saw your video #6 first, now I'm watching them in order. Your videos are very helpful for people that like to work on their own cars. I will be changing my headlights and I will watching your video #7 about the headlight removal. Take Care, Keep on making these videos.

Thanks for the video. It helped me figure out popping out that main pin, and also to have the confidence to pry out at the other pins. 👍

This was very helpful and saved me a trip to body shop. Thank you!

Awesome! Gonna wrap my TMYP when I take delivery! Thank you for your videos, helps me alot 😊

Thanks

Is removing this trim piece required in order to get the wheel liner out? I might need to remove the wheel liner on the front to hammer the pinch weld down some in order to clear bigger and wider tires when I get them.

[@GdayFraz]

Imo yes, it has to be removed

[@drewhennek3717]

Is it feasible to wrap only the lower plastic trim (wheel archs, lower side panels, rear bumper plastic etc.), leaving the body color as-stock? I have a grey model Y, seems like a matte Carbon, black honey comb, forged carbon or camo carbon would look really cool to replace all the OEM plastic trim (excluding door/window trim). Plus it would prevent the need for protecting the plastics from UV fading over time.
Thanks!

Thanks for the video. I have a model y where the back bumper tip is sticking out right where the joint is meeting the trim. Any tip on how to fix that?

[@rayjay6907]

Great videos, thanks for doing this!

[@venkateshbalan6277]

Very helpful videos. Do you have a video on how to fix the trim back? The half of my front trim came off and I'm unable to drive for few days with it hanging out

[@kirkdameron6341]

Just reverse the steps in JD's video.
First, make sure you've got all the plastic pins inserted/held into the trim piece.
Then, ensure the bottommost two ends of the pc of trim are inserted downward into their place in the car body.
Then, just push on the trim at each pin point, to reinsert the pins into the car body.
I have reinserted this trim a couple of times simply by ensuring that order of steps.

Do you have a video on putting them back ON?

[@ebonee-elisecoleman501]

The trim pieces you’re referring to are called the garnish

[@GdayFraz]

If you buy them from Tesla they call them belt seals… I guess it’s tomato tomato

[@ikedirty20]

Just want I need to know, tx

[@dreamcastdc]

My plastic trims are scratched up, didn’t notice it when I picked up the car back in Sept, only noticed it after a week passed while washing the car.

[@GdayFraz]

I would just buy new ones. Tesla takes very poor care of the cars before delivery

[@KirkKohler]

My rear bumper, the plastic part has a huge long scratch on it. Any ideas on how to polish or rub the scratch out? Not sure if that piece back piece is expensive. It's the big piece of plastic above the cut out for the hitch.

[@KiwiVanderman]

You look like Jimmi Simpson the actor

[@mikebrunophoto]

I don’t understand why the plastic pieces can’t be wrapped 😥 thanks for this video!

[@jos8651]

It can be wrapped. I wrapped it on my model x, no problem at all. Gonna wrap it on my model y aswell.

[@dillonli9931]

How much does it cost to replace this? Mine ripped where it holds the pin.

[@GdayFraz]

I think $50. You can buy direct from the service center
