Tesla Model 3 Hood Hinge Left 2020-2023 | OE 1098792-00-D

The Tesla Model 3 Hood Hinge Left 2020-2023 is a premium aftermarket OEM-style replacement designed for front hood alignment and repair applications.

Product Overview

This Tesla Model 3 Hood Hinge connects the front hood to the vehicle body and provides the pivot point that allows the hood to open and close in a controlled path. Correct hinge geometry is important for even hood gaps, latch alignment, smooth opening movement, and stable hood positioning.

The OE 1098792-00-D Hood Hinge is designed for the left / driver side. It is commonly replaced after front-end collision damage, a bent hinge, hood misalignment, or when the original hinge no longer allows the hood to sit correctly against the surrounding fenders and front fascia.
