RCCI - Installation InstructionsThanks for purchasing the RCCI.

The RCCI is designed to fit at the center of the rear bench seat of the Tesla Model S. In addition to these Installation Instructions, we’ve created an Installation Video that can be viewed at www.evannex.com.

Quick Start Installation Steps:

Step 1. Build a simple “quick install tool” using a wire clothes hanger (Photo # 1). CAUTION: Be sure that both ends of the tool are rounded to preclude any damage to the upholstery.

Step 2. Place the RCCI near the rear centerline of the rear bench seat. For standard seats, the centerline is defined by a vertical seam in the upholstery. Allow 6 – 10” of space between the rear of the RCCI and the seat back during Steps 3, 4 and 5.

Step 3. From the trunk, push the “quick install tool” through the seam at the bottom center of the seat back. It only needs to protrude inside the passenger compartment by 4 or 5 inches. CAUTION: If the “quick install tool” doesn’t slide easily into the back seat, DO NOT force it. Go to the rear seat, reach into the seam and pull it through to avoid any possible damage to your upholstery. See Photo # 2.

Step 4. From the rear seat, attach the snap hook to the loop in the “quick install tool.” See Photo # 3.

Step 5. From the trunk, pull the “quick install tool” through so that the snap hook and strap are clearly visible. CAUTION: If the “quick install tool” doesn’t slide easily under the seam of the seat, DO NOT force it. Go to the rear seat, reach into the seam and push it through to avoid any possible damage to your upholstery. Once the tooi is visible in the trunk, unsnap the hook from the tool and pull the strap all the way into the trunk. Place the “quick install tool” in the trunk foot well so that you can use it again as required.

Step 6. Attach the snap hook to the horizontal anchoring bar in the upper center of the seat back (Look for a slit in the seat back material). Tighten the strap. (Photo # 4.) NOTE: The horizontal anchoring bar is approximately 9.5 inches from the trunk floor and 5.5 inches from the right edge (looking from the rear) of the driver side rear seat. For 2016 and later models, the slit may be difficult to see. Use your finger to probe for the slit at the location noted. It’s there!

Step 7. From the rear seat, adjust the front strap so that the curved hook fits under the lower edge of the rear seat cushion with slight tension. (Photo # 5).

Congratulations! The RCCI is now a part of your Model S.

REMOVAL: To remove the RCCI, undo the front strap by removing it from the seat edge. From the trunk, unsnap the hook fastening the RCCI to the horizontal anchoring bar. From the rear seat, pull the rear strap and snap hook under and through. The RCCI may be stored on the floor or in the frunk until it is time to re-install it.

An Important Note on Veneer Decks for the RCCI

Veneer is a natural product that varies (sometimes significantly) from batch to batch. We spent months developing the best possible color and grain correspondence between Model S wood veneers—Obeche Wood Gloss/ Matte and Lacewood—and the veneer deck we have used in the RCCI.

We do not have access to Tesla’s suppliers.

In general, veneer can and does look different depending on the angle of light impingement, the type of finish (gloss or matte), whether the wood is open or closed grain, and many other factors.

Lacewood and some versions of Obeche Matte veneers used as trim for the Model S are open grain. This works well for vertical trim, but our analysis indicates that an open grain trim would be inappropriate for the cup holder deck of the RCCI for two reasons: (1) because spills into an open grain would create staining issues, and (2) because an open grain is more prone to scratching. Because our Lacewood and Obeche Matte cup holder decks are closed grain, they reflect light in a slightly different manner that open grain woods, but the color and grain layout correspond well with the actual Tesla Motors’ trims.

We’re very pleased with our veneers and hope that you get many years of enjoyment from your Model S and your Custom CCI.

A Note on the Rear and Front RCCI Straps

IMPORTANT: For safety, the rear RCCI strap and snap hook MUST be attached to the horizontal anchor bar in the back of the rear seat (accessible through the trunk). Please be certain this is done before using the RCCI. Please refer to our installation instructions and video for further information.

The front RCCI strap has been designed to anchor the front of the RCCI so that lateral movement is reduced and the RCCI stays firmly in place. An angle hook connects the RCCI to the lower front edge of the rear seat. It is held in place by tension in the front strap.

Rough entry into the rear seat may cause the angle hook to detach as the seat deflects when weight in applied. To reattach the angle hook, simple reach down and hook it over the lower front edge of the rear seat. If necessary, tightening the strap slightly (but not over tightening) may be necessary. Please refer to our installation instructions and video for further information.
