I went ahead with the cantrails replaced, they did a horrible job. Not to get into it, but here is a pic of what it looked like after.

The service center said they would fix it, but I turned them down and fix it my self. I’m now conceived I might have the best cantrail install of any cybertruck.

it wasn’t too hard. Just spent some time having to twist the piece a bit. And actually put a tiny washer between flange on the quarter panel that the rail bolts too. If anyone is interested I can post pictures of the process.

What service center?
Aurora Colorado. They had broke the C panel appliqué which is fine they replaced it, but left broken glass all over the bottom trim. When I took apart the frunk to fix the cantrail, I found broken tabs and an extra bolt. And 3 of the tabs weren’t even clipped in the holes.
the service rep was very friendly and didn’t want me to take the truck until they fixed it, but in had already drove an hour to get there. Didn’t want to drive back another day, and honestly I was tired of driving the Model S loaner(which was the car I had before and loved the way it drove, but not compared the CT). Although it did have better FSD.

@Gaximus Yes, can you please post pics of how you adjusted the front? I want to tweak mine a little bit, but having a hell of a time with getting it to stay in place.

Would like to see your fix and also the before vs after. I have mine coming up and I am dreading the thought of what they may (or may not) do
