Hey there, car enthusiasts! Today, I have an exciting story to share with you about how to take off the bumper of a Tesla Model 3. I know many of you have been curious about this process, so I’m here to break it down for you step by step.
So, first things first, you’ll need to remove the small panels on the front of the car. There are a total of four screws that need to be taken out in order to access the bumper. Once those screws are removed, you’ll need to unscrew two bolts on each side of the car where the hooks are located. Don’t forget to also remove the carpet lining and the last two screws before moving on to the next step.
Next, you’ll need to remove six screws on the front of the bumper and three screws on each side of the car. These screws hold the bumper in place and need to be removed in order to take it off. Once all the screws are removed, you can start to carefully detach the bumper from the car.
To fully remove the bumper, you’ll need to pop up three clips on each side of the car. These clips can be a bit tricky, but with the right tools and technique, you’ll be able to remove them easily. Once the clips are removed, you can store them in a safe place for later use.
After removing the clips, you’ll need to use a 10mm socket to remove three screws located under the bumper. These screws are essential for holding the bumper in place and need to be removed in order to detach it from the car. Once the screws are out, you can carefully pull the bumper away from the car.
Underneath the car, there are plastic grommet clips that need to be removed in order to fully detach the bumper. These clips are easy to remove with a screwdriver and should come off with minimal effort. Once the clips are removed, you can proceed to remove the rest of the plastic pieces holding the bumper in place.
Finally, you’ll need to disconnect a harness located on the bumper before fully removing it from the car. This harness is easy to disconnect with the push of a button and should come off without any issues. Once the harness is disconnected, you can carefully remove the bumper from the car and set it aside.
And there you have it, folks! That’s how you take off the bumper of a Tesla Model 3. It may seem like a daunting task, but with the right tools and knowledge, you’ll be able to tackle it like a pro. So, next time you need to remove the bumper of your Tesla, you’ll know exactly what to do. Happy driving!
