The SC replaced mine no problem...but now I kinda miss my worm

Oh yeah? Got a picture of the replacement? The unicorn of wormless airbag covers!

Thanks, @jebinc

That's weird 3YPlaid. Got any pictures of it not lining up? Mine was replaced last week and is just fine in terms of lining up/wind noise, but I didn't have the grille dent replaced since I was told it required a lot of dash disassembly. Was that true?

you know, they didnt tell me they had to disassemble the dash. I looked over the car and didnt see evidence of that, but I have to look closer. I will take some pics tonight and post them.

Don't have a picture of it, but just close your eyes and imagine yours without a worm!

Or just ask your SC to replace it and they will, looks like they've figured out the issue.

Don’t they have to disconnect all sorts of stuff to replace it? It’s not a 30-second job. I don’t know that I care enough.

True I wouldn't have cared if they pushed back to be honest, but they did it without any question and my car was only with them for 2 days

It is 30 seconds job taking off the airbag takes 15 seconds and a flat screwdriver, then unplug 2 connectors. Install the new airbag even faster cause after plugging in connectors just click airbag to its place

Hmm. Are you sure? I thought I saw some guide to replacing this sort of thing and you need to disconnect the 12V battery or something. Not experienced/well versed in this at all.

Here you go Wiki - Model S Delivery Update @eddiemoy

Thanks although it was very interesting it didn’t answer whether the ride was smoother and quieter with the 19’s. But I asked him if he could give me his opinion on that specifically. Really appreciate you giving me his thread.

Yeah, I was the one who told him how to fix it. Lol.

If he really has his EQ settings all up to the top as it looks like he does.. I just shake my head. I’m sorry, but no.

I’m curious, how would you have yours? What sounds better?

I know having it all up isn’t ideal, but just wondering what might be optimum

EQ is to balance - if everything is simply raised to the max, all you’ve done is raise the volume.

A general adjustment is a V shape (excluding the sub, of course). Here’s my initial take on it. I also adjusted the sub up to about 2.5 as I recall.

Okay, let's say you need to disconnect 12V which I don't think is the case with Teslas. Will take another 2 minutes?

I did replace the 12V battery at my old X and when I plug it off nothing has changed, or at least I was looking bad

Yeah, I saw that too.
