Plate Height Adjustment

Step 1
Tesla SnapPlates ship in the high position by default, but are adjustable into 3 possible positions for all models except for the 2021+ Model S where the extended lower bumper lip interferes with the low position. It only has high and center available.
We recommend high for the best airflow to the grille.

Step 3
Turn each screw counterclockwise (lefty loosey) 1/2 turn to loosen the latches by 0.25mm. Pull each latch with your fingers to make sure they are extended and then try the fit on the grille.
Repeat up to four times (two full turns) as needed.
Important: Contact support before proceeding past two turns. If loosened more than two turns, the SnapPlate could become stuck in the grille and it may be very difficult to remove. -
