Just had the service center fix it after the mobile tech told me that there is a formal fix available. Here is the note from the invoice: "Removed backseat cover and spring and added felt to remove that back seat hinge rattle."

My 2023 LR has the same issue and I took it to the service as well. They could not fix it but the foreman took time to show me all the still to be delivered models in the lot. All had the exact same issue. There is no fix short of cutting out the panel and putting a new one in. He did report the...

I did not take pictures during the installation. Here is the final result:

Also finished the installation yesterday on our 2021 LR. Parts were $200 plus tax. It took about 2 hours as I also added a bit more felt tape to "strategic" locations to eliminate any rattling. There was no Loctite on the bolts, and it took very little force to remove them. Transferring the...

My 2021 Model Y just updated to 2022.20.9 and the update did switch me over to vision only. I'm not happy about it as I opted out of FSD beta after experiencing a degraded performance on highways using vision only.

Removing some of the rear panels is not so intuitive and the amount of force required makes it feel like they are about to break. I would book a mobile service appointment and have them do it given that your vehicle is so new. It gives you a chance to learn by watching as well and that will come...

I used 1" wide tape but 1/2" or 2" would work fine, too. You need to do a try and error on how long it must be. Roll it up and see if it puts enough pressure on the two parts to prevent the rattle.

Just went through a full calibration as one of my pillar cameras got swapped. It will take about 10 to 15 miles longer for the system to calibrate for FSD. Fastest calibration was on well-marked highways. Nearly no calibration progress on city roads.

The service center used some felt tape. Anything that prevent metal to metal contact will work.

That is exactly the same fix the service center did.

The door panel is made from several different parts that are "plastic spot welded" together and also being held by some clips (likely to make the welding easier). I had the lower panel as well as the upper fabric panel rattle. Easy to locate by gently tapping on them. Solution was to insulate...

It does. 🤣 Also the reason I stated it being 100% my fault. "Fluids" includes any coatings in this context.

Had really bad wiper chattering that I tried to cure for a while with no sucess. Finally solved the issue and want to share so that others do not have to make the same mistakes I made. The issue was 100% self-made. I used a windshield coating (Glassparency in this case but this likely happens...

Update after my service visit: Problem is solved (again, at least for now, hopefully permanent). They did not use structural adhesive. The noise is cause by two sheets of metal moving between spot welds as the area flexes. The fix is to pry the two sheets apart a bit to put foam insulation...

My service appointment is today. Will report back afterwards.
