Scratches on vault tonneau cover & applique. Not sure what happened.

[Willwillx]

I’m not sure if this was here when I got the truck or if it’s something I did I usually don’t do anything rough with the truck. I do go to the post office and I do use their small kit bins which are plastic and sometimes jagged so maybe I set one on top and slid it instead of picking it up. I don’t know anyway is there anything I can do to fill in the scratches on the tunnel, cover here or on that back top panel.? they’re very minor but now that I know they’re there. I’m very annoyed by it and I constantly see it.

You can always wrap. I recommend xpel (you can get them from @AO-Pete) or indestructible wrap by vvivid: https://amzn.to/42p2ZbP. Just apply, carefully razor out the gaps.

Just don't cover the joints, but it's fixable.

Not sure what might get it looking like new again, but I wouldn’t worry about it. It’s a truck bed, it’s gonna get little war wounds over the years. Mine has seen many trips to Home Depot and has hauled lumber, garden supplies, even a backyard playground. It has some scratches on the top of the tailgate but it’s just something a truck goes through. Now if I got a scratch or dent on the body I’d lose my mind lol

The top tailgate appliqué is, IMO, SUPER easy to scratch. Had a couple scratches on mine in the first week or so. Ended up popping off the appliqué and spraying it with bed liner. Would recommend.

Hey thanks. That’s for the cover panels? It’s just one panel it looks heh

You'd have to apply to all of them for an even look. But both of those products will hold up scratching much better and can be swapped out

Don’t say that. Was one of reasons u mm

Sold my model y with a dent, actually traded it in for the truck. It honestly made it easier to let it go.

Any photos of what this might look like on the cover?

The tonneau cover? I don't know anyone that's done it yet, but you certainly can. Others have vinyl also: https://www.ebay.com/itm/326233736239?gQT=2

I have found this material to very soft, so I am extremely careful putting anything on the cover, not dragging anything. I put deep scratches on the top of the tailgate the week after delivery while helping my son move. The tailgate and bumper protectors available on the Tesla Shop site have helped tremendously for those areas.
