Symptoms

Owners of certain 2024 Tesla Cybertruck vehicles may observe that the left-hand (LH) and/or right-hand (RH) side apron seal is visible. This visibility occurs through the gap between the frunk and the fender, which can be an aesthetic concern for vehicle owners.

Diagnosis and Trigger Conditions

The condition is identified by a customer complaint regarding the visible Tesla Cybertruck side apron seal. The seal's presence in the frunk-to-fender gap is a direct visual indicator of the issue, as illustrated in the service bulletin's Figure 1.

Repair Procedure Summary

This repair involves the removal of the existing side apron seals and the installation of new clips to secure the area. The procedure is designed to be performed by trained professionals and can be completed by mobile service technicians where permitted.

1. Access the Area: Begin by opening the frunk of the Cybertruck to gain access to the side apron seals.
2. Remove Existing Seals: Using a pry tool, technicians will carefully release three clips that attach each side apron seal to the side apron assembly.
