This component refers to the left rear quarter outer assembly for the powered trunk system, specifically designed for Tesla vehicles (likely Model 3, based on structural context). Crafted from metal, it integrates structural support with functional compatibility for the powered trunk mechanism, ensuring durability and seamless operation.
| Parameter | Details |
| Component Name | Rear Quarter Outer Assembly, Left Side (for Powered Trunk) |
| Part Number | 1073677-ST-B (unique identifier for procurement and replacement) |
| Material | Metal (high-strength alloy, offering rigidity and impact resistance) |
| Dimensions | 16512748 (assumed unit: mm; lengthwidthheight for precise fit) |
| Compatibility | Likely Tesla Model 3 (aligned with structural specifications of rear quarter panels) |
As a key part of the rear body structure, it reinforces the vehicle’s rear quarter panel, maintaining overall body rigidity. This is critical for:
- Withstanding dynamic stresses during driving (e.g., vibrations, cornering forces).
- Enhancing crash safety by absorbing and distributing impact energy in collisions.
- Environmental Shield: Covers and protects internal components (e.g., wiring harnesses, trunk actuators) from external elements like rain, dust, and debris.
- Sleek Integration: Designed to match the vehicle’s rear contour, ensuring a seamless, factory-finished appearance that complements the overall design language.
Integral to the powered trunk system, it:
- Provides mounting points for trunk hinges, electric motors, and latch mechanisms.
- Ensures stable alignment of moving parts, enabling smooth, reliable operation of the automatic trunk opening/closing function.
- Professional Installation: Due to its integration with both the body structure and powered trunk electronics, replacement requires technical expertise. It is recommended to be serviced at Tesla-authorized centers or qualified workshops.
- Replacement Process:
- Removal of surrounding trim and fasteners to access the old assembly.
- Disconnection of electrical connectors linked to the powered trunk system (if applicable).
- Secure fitting of the new 1073677-ST-B assembly, ensuring precise alignment with adjacent panels.
- Reconnection and testing of the powered trunk mechanism to verify functionality (e.g., smooth operation, proper latching).
This metal assembly balances structural integrity, protective performance, and functional compatibility, making it essential for maintaining the safety, aesthetics, and operability of the vehicle’s rear trunk system.
