If you’re repairing or replacing the left-hand 2R inner/outer (IB/OB) side shield assembly of your Tesla Model X (matching main part 1496105-00-B) and need a reliable edge clip to secure the side shield to the door panel—this CFN 6MM edge clip is the exact small-but-critical component you need. As a precision-machined part (not Tesla OEM), it’s engineered to match the original clip’s dimensions, material, and locking mechanism, ensuring the side shield stays tightly fastened without looseness or rattles.
This edge clip’s design is tailored to the Model X’s 2R side shield assembly needs: with a 6MM nominal size and compatibility for 1.5–2.5mm thick material groups (GRP), it fits perfectly into the pre-drilled holes of the left-hand IB/OB side shield and door panel. Unlike generic clips that might be too loose (causing the side shield to shift) or too tight (breaking during installation), this CFN clip has a calibrated “snap-in” tension—slide it into the mounting hole, and it locks into place with a firm click, holding the side shield flush against the door panel without gaps.
Made from high-quality POM (polyoxymethylene, also known as acetal resin) in white, it offers unmatched durability for a small clip: POM’s low friction coefficient prevents wear from long-term vibration (common in door panels when driving), while its high impact resistance means it won’t crack if you need to remove and reattach the side shield during repairs. It’s also resistant to temperature changes (from -40°C to 120°C) and automotive fluids (like cleaning agents or wax), so it won’t degrade, discolor, or become brittle over time—unlike cheap plastic clips that break after a few uses.
Its role in the 2R side shield assembly is non-negligible: it distributes the side shield’s weight evenly across the door panel, preventing (localized) stress that could crack the shield or door trim. A missing or broken clip here can lead to annoying rattles when driving over bumps, or even cause the side shield’s edge to lift—exposing the door’s internal wiring or hardware to dust and moisture. This CFN clip solves that by restoring the original secure fit, keeping the side shield functional and the door’s interior neat.
Installing it takes just seconds, no tools required: align the clip’s tapered end with the mounting hole on the left-hand 2R IB/OB side shield, push gently until you hear a “snap,” then attach the shield to the door panel— the clip will lock both components together. It’s ideal for replacing lost, broken, or worn original clips during side shield repairs, or as a spare part for maintenance.
Note: This clip is exclusively for Tesla Model X’s left-hand 2R inner/outer (IB/OB) side shield assembly (matching main part number 1496105-00-B). It won’t fit other Tesla models (e.g., Model 3/Y/S) or non-2R side shield components. For a complete, secure repair, we recommend replacing all old clips with this CFN part to ensure consistent holding force across the entire side shield.
