Today, we are diving into the world of hail damage repair on a Tesla Model 3. As a certified EV technician, I am excited to showcase the process of fixing this Electric Vehicle after it was hit by a hailstorm.
The Tesla Model 3 behind me has suffered some hail damage, but luckily, it’s not too severe. While most electric vehicles require a power down for repairs, we have decided to opt for a glue pull method instead. This will allow us to fix the damage without needing to power down the vehicle completely.
The quarter panel, rail, and fender of the Tesla Model 3 are all metal parts, while the doors, front and rear doors, and the hood are made of aluminum. By removing the trim panel, we gain access to the trunk, which is also made of metal. This makes it easier for us to work on the vehicle without worrying about damaging any wires inside.
During the repair process, I decided to glue pull most of the damage on the quarter panel. The depth of the damage was not too severe, making glue pulling the most efficient method for fixing it. The glue pulling process went smoothly, and we were able to restore the panel to its original state.
The roof of the Tesla Model 3 is a sunroof, so there was no damage to it during the hailstorm. The aluminum doors were also successfully repaired using the glue pulling method. I decided not to poke around with tools inside the doors to avoid any potential electrical issues.
The fenders of the Tesla Model 3 were also repaired using glue pulling, resulting in a seamless finish. As for the hood, we removed it by unscrewing just four screws, making it easy to access and repair without any cables getting in the way.
Overall, the hail damage repair on the Tesla Model 3 was a success. The vehicle looks as good as new, and the repair process was smooth and efficient.
