Model 3 Fog Light Canards Installation Guide

Quick answer

Install Model 3 fog light canards by cleaning the mounting area, test-fitting the part, applying the included adhesive tape, and pressing firmly for 30 seconds. No drilling or tools required.

Installation steps

1. Clean the mounting area: Wipe the fog light housing and surrounding area with isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free cloth. Remove all dirt, wax, and residue. Skipping this step can cause the adhesive to fail, especially in cold weather.
2. Dry-fit the canard: Hold the canard against the fog light housing without removing the adhesive backing. Check alignment and trim if needed (no trimming is required for most Model 3 models). Test-fit both the left and right canards before applying adhesive to avoid misalignment.
3. Apply the adhesive tape: Peel the backing from the pre-applied 3M tape on the canard. Position the part carefully and press firmly for 30 seconds. Apply pressure evenly along the entire edge to prevent lifting at the corners.
4. Let the bond cure: Avoid washing or driving in heavy rain for 24 hours to allow the adhesive to fully cure. For best results, install at room temperature (above 60°F / 15°C).
