This SEMS (Self-Expanding Metal Screw) hex flange bolt (part number 1484170-00-A) is an OEM-matching fastener engineered for all Tesla models—including Model 3 (2017+), Model Y (2020+), Model S (2012+), and Model X (2015+). Designed with precision to meet Tesla’s automotive-grade standards, it features a hex flange head, M6 thread size, 18mm length, and integrated adhesive coating, making it ideal for securing interior/exterior components (e.g., trim panels, bumper brackets, dashboard brackets, and underbody shields) where vibration resistance and long-term stability are critical.
- Secure Vibration-Resistant Fastening: The bolt’s G1009 steel construction (tensile strength ≥1000MPa) delivers high load-bearing capacity, while the pre-applied adhesive coating (MAT, ADH) creates a permanent bond between the bolt and threaded hole once cured. This eliminates loosening caused by driving vibrations (e.g., over potholes or rough roads), a common issue with standard bolts—critical for components like bumper brackets or underbody shields that face constant stress.
- Hex Flange Head for Stability: The integrated flange (88mm specification, referring to flange diameter) replaces the need for a separate washer, distributing clamping force evenly across the component surface. This prevents damage to soft trim materials (e.g., plastic dashboard brackets) and ensures a tight, gap-free fit between parts.
- Universal Model Compatibility: Engineered to match Tesla’s factory threaded hole specifications across Model 3/Y/S/X, it serves as a direct replacement for worn or lost original bolts. Whether securing interior trim or exterior structural components, no modifications to the vehicle’s mounting points are required.
- Applicable Components: Ideal for securing:
- Interior: Dashboard trim brackets, door panel mounts, center console supports.
- Exterior: Bumper lower brackets, fender liner fasteners, underbody shield mounts.
- Installation Steps: 1. Clean the threaded hole and component surface to remove dust or oil (ensures adhesive adhesion); 2. Use a 10mm hex socket to thread the bolt into the hole—torque to Tesla’s specified value (typically 8±1 Nm for trim components, 12±1 Nm for structural brackets); 3. Allow 24 hours for the adhesive to fully cure before exposing the component to heavy stress.
- Key Note: The adhesive is single-use—once removed, the bolt cannot be reused (replace with a new unit for re-installation to maintain vibration resistance).
- Package Options: 5-pack / 10-pack / 20-pack—suits both DIY repairs (e.g., replacing a single trim bolt) and professional maintenance (e.g., bumper rebuilds).
- Warranty: 2-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects (e.g., thread damage, adhesive failure, or corrosion) under normal use.
Important: Not for high-temperature components (e.g., engine bay parts)—designed for ambient temperature areas (interior, exterior body, underbody) up to 80°C.
