What's a cantrail? That part is called a roof rail trim and is held on by screws and nuts.

Interesting, I did not know the Cybertruck is a British railway carriage.

Mine started coming loose again. I believe it was an 8mm nut, does anyone happen to know the torque spec? I think the service center might have just hand tightened it when I was in before.

But it should have Loc-Tite applied.

The Tesla service manual answers most of these type questions. I was surprised at the complex procedure required to properly remove and replace the cantrail. Here is the link to it:

I’m going to have to specifically mention loc-rite be applied, I’m pretty sure they merely tightened it down last time. Waiting to hear on the wheel covers before scheduling that and the wiper motor to minimize my trips down there.
