Thanks for sharing this helpful tutorial. I was struggling with the same rattle from the back seat and your tips were super helpful in getting rid of it.

@Enemji 26 дней назад

Perfect. I took a rubber washer, made a cut and slid it in place and tightened it. I did not have to remove all 3 bolts and the seatback. Works like a charm. Thanks!

was fairly simple and worked, thx Modlife

try the bmw felt tape for clips that might be too tight with that double sided tape, I've used that stuff for rattles very amazing success over the years

I’ll check that out!

thanks Bro for sharing the thing as I need to fix rattle on my model 3 as well, however, you only shown how to put things back, but how would you take the panel thing off ? any tools required or anything ?

@modlife 8 месяцев назад

A panel tool can help, but I use my fingers.

@JBoy340a 9 месяцев назад

Nice job. Can you just pull those panels with the wires underneath off? Or do you need a tool. If so, what tool would you recommend? I have a lot of minot rattles in my X. Our 3 is solid, while the X rattles!

@modlife 9 месяцев назад

They pull out on the bottom and then up from the top.

@thebestiam11 Год назад

Nice video! What sizes are the washers by the way?

@modlife Год назад

I’m not entirely sure, since I made them. If I had to guess without looking I’d guess about 1” diameter and 1/2” hole.

@stevehiner7392 3 месяца назад

Got a new Y. Thinking I am getting rattling from the seatbelts. Tesla has no clips or anything from preventing the belts from flopping around so wondering if anyone else has experienced this and has come up with a solution. So far, I like the technology of the vehicle but not impressed with their build quality and component quality. Things seem to be cheap!

@DrearyCash 2 месяца назад

One of the issues I found was the rear head rests are very loose, and a fix for it is to remove the head rest, put some sticky foam tape down the tube where the headrests slot into, put the headrests back in and this should keep it from rattling about hopefully

@JamGisme Год назад

How did you remove that panel next to seat? trim removal tool or just tugging by hand?

@modlife Год назад

You pop out the bottom by hand, and then pull upward to release the top.

@modlife Год назад

@@TTibus All part clip in, but I’m not sure which direction. You can usually just pull on one end or the other until it start to come loose, and then look under to see if any clips are directional.

@ASpec818 Год назад

Were you able to hear the rattle when shaking the rear seat? I have a rear seat rattle but think it’s from a different area.

@modlife Год назад

Only if it was flipped down and then shaking it would make it rattle.

@Yachtzeee Год назад

I agree 💯 Rolex’s need to stay unpolished. Reminds me of Butch and his fathers watch from Pulp Fiction the watch is the heirloom that tells the story of a life that is lived.

@Joe-ud2hb Год назад

Did you try pushing down the headrests

@EJ-en5xl 3 месяца назад

I think I have a rattle in my new 2024 model Y from this same area (not the seat though). When I looked at the trim that you removed here mines seems to be a single piece that goes all the way back to the lift gate. Wonder if they changed some things in the latest model Y? Haven't had the courage to figure out how to remove that yet as I'm nervous I'll break clips etc.

@modlife 3 месяца назад

Just be gentle and pry/pop. Most panels have hooks that require popping them out and lifting vertically. If you have a rattle in a 2024 though. The SC will take care of it for you, so I’d let them.

I have 2021 Model 3 and this is one of the many rattles I have. I also have an annoying rattle coming from the "suede" parts of the doors while driving the front passenger and the rear door behind it are the worse. But if I press on that "suede" part, the rattle stops. I also have a loud rattle on the dash board on the driver's side. Any idea on what these two are and how to fix? My concern is that when I take it Tesla service they will just say "can't reproduce?

@modlife 8 месяцев назад

The dash is usually the speaker grille hitting the window. You can put a small piece of felt tape between. The door panels are typically broken clips, so you’ll have to take them off and look - felt tape around the he’s they clip into.

@Terminator7652 Месяц назад

This is a known common issue with model s. It’s the clips that hold the door panel to the metal outer door. Not sure if it’s the same for M3

I’m not a handyman like you obvious you are very handy so what is the solution

@modlife 11 месяцев назад

Watch the video - I do what I can to walk you through the solution. Or you can pay Tesla $255 to tighten the bolt and help for a week. You don’t need to be handy - you got this.

@michaelpapastavrou1022 5 месяцев назад

@kennethmchenry7583 8 месяцев назад

I have a 2022 M3P. It makes a very annoying rattle that’s coming from behind the back passenger seat from the floor of the trunk. Apparently it’s not too bad to remove the trunk liner enough to look up near the top right corner and see what’s going on. Maybe I can add some material or glue something down but it makes me not enjoy riding my wonderful car so I gotta do something about about it. Any ideas?

@modlife 8 месяцев назад

There are a few things it could be, but it's most likely something in your subtrunk, or your subwoofer. I found that the amp bracket was rattling against the sub in mine, and made a small rubber pad to fit under it and create space. Given the success of this video, I really need to start tracking all of them down and post more. A simple sine wave generator can help tremendously. I also added a trunk liner from RPM Tesla and intend to install Silex sound dampening mats to a lot of areas that let too much noise in like the doors and wheel wells - balancing sound deadening and weight for a car that i track on occasion is the only thing working against me.

@kennethmchenry7583 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tips and ideas. As a follow up I removed my entire back seat and found that the bundle of wires that runs the passenger side back seat (as shown in this video) was slightly lose and moving front to back making a large part of the noise I’ve been hearing. A few well placed zip ties seems to have knocked down about 80% of that noise. Next I’ll take a look at the sub area as suggested.
