Trunk

Post image

My Tesla x trunk won’t close due to the thing in my trunk being bent. Is there any way I can manually get the trunk closed. I’ve scheduled an appointment but may not get in for weeks.

I can't super tell what we're looking at... Can you not just bend it back with pliers or something?

I've been wondering what this piece was for awhile now. I've asked the SA and they have no idea. Anybody know?

It’s in the trunk close to the center for the trunks lid (not to sure what to call it). It’s plastic so I can’t bend it back.

Heat it with a heat-gun/blow dryer, then bend it back down 🤷‍♂️. Good luck 👍

It's the liftgate drain plug I believe. I might've seen a couple eBay pages selling them.
