Anyone know what this plastic strip sticking out of my tire is?

It’s normal Just pull it out Nothing to worry about

It is most likely a strip of a velco type substance added last minute at the factory to help dampen an aero cover noise that’s been a common complaint on Juniper Ys. It’s harmless but they’ve been coming out. If you pull it out then the noise may become more prevalent.

Structural plastic. Remove at your own risk.

3M tape. It’s there to prevent NVH

Thanks! Do you recommend fixing it back? I have no idea how to do that.

I see. Do you recommend fixing it back?

Should I attempt to remove it or fix it?

You could cut the excess carefully, or just go to your service center and kindly ask them to remove or replace the tape. Removing it might increase the noise

I was thinking the same: was thinking of removing it. I’m trying to understand what that is and why it was there 😅

Self destruct ignition strip

I think it comes like that from the factory, not sure if your car is new, but I think it goes in between the caps of the rims and the hubcaps so that it doesn’t scratch, but it’s not needed

Update, I see that it’s a standard model so it must be new as in a new car, yeah those just come from the Factory

Looks like a piece of protective plastic on the hub when it was new, I would just trim it off.

Take an razor blade knife and carefully trim it off

Is it like a loose thread on a sweater?

You can take it to the service center but as far as I know they don’t have the tooling to replace it and would just remove it. Sorry I don’t have a better answer.

Yes, correct

Remove it

Won't that cause the whole wheel to unravel? 🤣

I’m more bothered by the T logo on the aero caps not pointing to the valve stem.

You just pull it out to activate the battery 😆
