How does Tesla fix a loose tailgate steel sheet?

[hemiarch]

I’m curious. Car is going in for a service and the steel is highly deformable like it’s coming away from the tailgate.
My car is wrapped so I’m hesitant to ask them to look at it because I don’t really want to rewrap the tailgate if they decide to change it out.
are there clips or screws somewhere I can tighten? Or is it just the same crappy adhesive that led to the cantrail recall?

Following, im starting to have the same issue. Its only on one half of the tailgate steel for now, the passenger side is still solid, but im sure it will have to be replaced.

Up until recently, just like my front doors, it was replace them. But people are saying there is a new adhesive procedure they have and you don’t get a whole panel replacement.

That would be very good. Anyone here had one fixed this way?

I had the entire tailgate replaced when mine came apart.

I had mine replaced under warranty a few months ago.

They Glued my twice and replaced it for the third time... and now for the 4th time I'll have to wait and see what they are going to do... but this time around I have a noise it makes when I close the tailgate

I’m glad to hear it CAN be glued.
Is it the same glue as the cantrails and lightbar?
