I had leftover P seals Which I used to run down the left and right vertical part of the trunk. The trunk now closes with a nice solid thunk just like the doors with seals added.
Hey man im working in car manufactury few years, we re making premium cars like cayenne or q8 and frunk seal is using mainly to improve air dynamic, u should check your consumption
That's a good point. I doubt I could see a difference since there are so many variables when considering driving efficiency. I do have a lifetime rating of 237 Wh/mi at 18k miles. I'll see if it changes over time.
@@MTNRanger I haven't installed them, but it's a logical consequence of sealing most but not all of the trunk lid, particularly downstream of where the ingress point would be.
@@loganrossignol I've had them on for a month and haven't noticed any issues. I will try some tests using a water hose and see how it drains. Thanks for pointing that out.
@@d19sbp I ended up removing the trunk seal after a while since it made closing more difficult. I never got around to testing it with a hose. For the few months it was on it wasn’t an issue - the car was also parked outside.
Thanks for the video. Are you sure you didn’t invert the frunk and trunk seals? Seems to me the thicker one should go in the front, the thinner one in the back?
Yes, they have the seals labeled. The 10x10mm was installed in the trunk. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/71zlbu4EpYL._SL1500_.jpg The 16x8.5mm was installed in the frunk. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/711tTOmzWpL._SL1500_.jpg
I’m really interested if this prevents water from getting into the trunk. I have this problem and I’ve had Tesla replace the seals without and effect on the problem. I’ve also found that after a rainfall if I check my trunk and it’s dry if then go for a drive on the highway and then check my trunk it has water in it. Evidentially, the water on the glass hood is being pushed down into the trunk from the high speed driving.
It would seem that the rubber seal between the window and the trunk lid would be the issue. These additional seals do not help in that area. I got water in the lower level of the trunk one time, but I'm not sure if it was just water that poured in over the rear window when the lid was open.
Hank, I've had the EXACT same problem and I've brought it into Tesla Service 3 times without any success. They claim they remove/reapply the seal and water test it, but I still find water in my trunk periodically (especially after high speed driving... which my daily commute consists of). Very frustrating, but thankfully I have the all-weather cargo tray in the trunk. Nice to know I'm not the only one experiencing this
@@des0late15 So the water just collects on the tray? I am guessing they will probably have to re-design the seal between the rear window and trunk at some point.
@@MTNRanger Correct, it just collects on the tray rather than soaking the trunk liner. Obviously it's not a long-term solution but it's better than nothing. I agree, Tesla has to re-design the seal... however, I still love the car and wouldn't trade it in for anything else
I had not looked closely before buying this same kit and was bummed to find it was not for "all the way around" the trunk, only the outer and bottom edges. What do you think about using the frunk seal material to go around the top edge of the trunk, near where it meets the glass. I'd like to have the open ends of the tubing facing down when the trunk is closed, rather than facing up at the top of the outside corners. Have you seen any water get in the tubing when trunk is closed?
Why would these seals have to be applied by the owner? Does this point up issues with the build quality? Would love to get a Tesla but am concerned about these issues not found with other vehicles.
After looking around on Amazon, it appears that the Motrobe is the only option with decent ratings. It looks like nobody is making weather seals just for the frunk and trunk areas anymore.
I just added another to the video description. There used to be a few to choose from, I could only find one now. It looks similar to the one I installed, but the trunk area is different. amzn.to/35UA4y5
Where is your video to fix the issue with the trunk not latching after the gasket install? Here is a quick video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--MN6bpqmoaw.html
I ended just removing it he trunk gasket since it didn’t seem to help. The door ones are the only gaskets that I think make it better. Thanks for the suggestion.
