If your 2015–2021 Tesla Model X’s left-hand rear trunk has loose
alignment, difficulty closing, or the original bracket securing the
rear aerosheild to the trunk is cracked/bent—this CFN left-hand
trunk bracket assembly (matching OEM part 1049739-00-G) is the key
to restoring structural stability and proper trunk function. As an
engineered replacement (not Tesla OEM), it replicates the original
bracket’s dimensions, mounting points, and load-bearing capacity,
ensuring seamless integration with the Model X’s trunk and rear
aerosheild while preserving the vehicle’s aerodynamic integrity.
This bracket serves two critical roles for your Model X:
- Trunk Structural Anchor: It keeps the left-hand side of the rear trunk aligned with the
vehicle’s body, eliminating gaps that let in dust, rain, or wind
noise, and ensuring the trunk closes smoothly without catching.
- Aerosheild Stabilizer: It securely fastens the rear aerosheild—a component that
optimizes airflow over the trunk, reducing aerodynamic drag
(critical for maintaining EV range) and minimizing wind turbulence
at highway speeds.
Unlike generic brackets that may be too weak (leading to aerosheild
sag) or misaligned (causing trunk closure issues), this CFN part
mirrors the OEM’s design: its precision-machined frame matches the
factory steel gauge, handling the trunk’s weight and aerosheild’s
tension without bending, while pre-drilled holes align perfectly
with the trunk’s body panels and aerosheild—no forced fitting or
extra drilling required.
Designed to withstand daily trunk use and harsh road conditions:
- Material: Heavy-duty steel with a corrosion-resistant zinc plating (same as
OEM) — resists rust from rain, road salt, and humidity, and won’t
warp under temperature swings (-40°C to 80°C). Far more durable
than cheap aluminum or plastic alternatives that crack easily.
- Contour & Fit: The bracket’s curved shape exactly matches the 2015–2021 Model
X’s trunk profile, ensuring the aerosheild sits flush against the
trunk (no airflow disruption) and the trunk maintains its
factory-level closure tightness.
Requires basic hand tools, and adherence to Tesla’s service
guidelines (professional installation recommended for optimal
alignment):
- Prep: Open the rear trunk, locate the original left-hand bracket
(mounted along the trunk’s rear edge, adjacent to the aerosheild),
and remove the old bracket by detaching its mounting rivets/screws.
- Clean & Prep: Wipe the bracket’s mounting surface on the trunk to remove dust
or debris. Apply Tesla-approved structural adhesive to the
bracket’s mating surface (per official specs) for enhanced
stability.
- Install & Secure: Align the CFN bracket with the existing mounting holes, then
fasten it using 6.5mm diameter structural bulb rivets (matching OEM
hardware). Avoid over-tightening to prevent damage to the trunk
panel.
- Test: Close and open the trunk repeatedly to confirm smooth operation,
and check that the aerosheild is secure (no wobble or gaps).
This left-hand rear trunk bracket assembly is exclusively for 2015–2021 Tesla Model X. It will not fit 2022+ Model X (revised trunk and aerosheild
design) or other Tesla models (3/Y/S). It’s ideal for:
- Replacing cracked, bent, or rusted original brackets.
- Restoring trunk alignment and aerosheild stability after collision
repair.
- Ensuring proper airflow and range retention by keeping the
aerosheild in factory position.
By matching OEM standards, this CFN bracket ensures your Model X’s
trunk functions reliably and its aerodynamic performance stays
intact—keeping your vehicle both practical and true to Tesla’s
engineering.
