Rear mudguard connecting plate L R

A Rear Mudguard Connecting Plate (Left/Right) is a structural bracket or reinforcement piece that serves as a secure mounting point for the rear mudguard (splash guard) on a Tesla vehicle. It is typically a small, rigid metal or high-strength plastic component that bolts to the inner wheel well or chassis. Its primary function is to provide a solid anchor, preventing the flexible mudguard from loosening, vibrating, or cracking due to wind resistance, road debris, and tire movement. This part is crucial for ensuring the mudguard remains effective at protecting the vehicle's lower body and rear bumper from rocks, road salt, and grime. It is often sold as a left and right (L/R) set to ensure symmetrical support.
