Learn how to install a soundproof front wheel liner on your Tesla Model 3, with step-by-step guidance, common pitfalls, and a look at the EVANNEX liner.

Quick Answer

To reduce road noise and protect your Tesla Model 3's front wheel wells, install a soundproof fender liner like the EVANNEX kit. The process takes about an hour and requires basic hand tools.

Why a soundproof liner helps

The front wheel wells on the Model 3 are exposed to road noise, rocks, and debris. A soundproof liner adds a dampening layer that reduces the sound of pebbles hitting the metal and cuts down on general road noise, making the cabin quieter.

The EVANNEX liner also provides a durable barrier that protects the wheel well from damage, which can extend the life of the surrounding components.

Compatibility check before you buy

Not all soundproof liners fit every Model 3. The EVANNEX Front Wheel Soundproof Fender Liner does not fit 2024+ Highland Model 3 or 2025+ Juniper Model Y. Always verify your vehicle's model year and trim before ordering.

If you have a newer Model 3, look for a liner specifically designed for the Highland refresh, as the wheel well shape changed.

Installation Steps

Gather tools and prepare the car: You'll need a jack, jack stands, a socket set, and a trim removal tool. Park on a flat surface, engage the parking brake, and loosen the front lug nuts before jacking up the car. Never work under the car without jack stands.
Remove the front wheel: Jack up the front of the car, secure it with jack stands, then remove the lug nuts and pull off the wheel. Set it aside in a safe place. Keep the lug nuts in a small container to avoid losing them.
Clean the wheel well: Use a brush or cloth to remove dirt, debris, and old undercoating from the wheel well area. A clean surface ensures the liner sits flush and adheres properly. Check for any sharp edges or loose clips that could interfere with the liner.
Position the new liner: Align the EVANNEX liner over the wheel well, matching the factory mounting points. The sound dampening fabric should face the wheel side. Press it into place and ensure it contours to the shape. If the liner doesn't sit flush, re-check alignment before securing.
Secure the liner: Use the included clips or screws to fasten the liner to the existing mounting holes. Tighten them snugly but avoid over-tightening, which can crack the liner. Give each fastener a final check after the first drive.
Reinstall the wheel and lower the car: Place the wheel back on, hand-tighten the lug nuts, then lower the car. Once it's on the ground, torque the lug nuts to the manufacturer's specification. Re-torque the lug nuts after 50-100 miles to ensure they're secure.
