Can you explain this? Can you see from inside frunk or are you talking about the wheel well liners? What's the process to check and then fix? Thanks
You can see the item in question in my DIY video for aligning the front panels starting @1:22

Thanks very much. I assume you must get to those behind the wheel liners then. Not sure where to stick the things if they are loose!You can see the item in question in my DIY video for aligning the front panels starting @1:22
Please describe the noise. There are a few known issues, including adjusting the rear hatch, that can make MAJOR impacts on noise. Is the noise more noticeable while driving over rough pavement, is it "rhythmic", what frequency does it appear to be at? etc.Update: Service checked out my car today, and didn't find any issues. Apparently the Continental tires on my new car are noisier than the Michelins on my previous cars. I took two test drives with two different technicians, and then drove a comparable loaner with the same tires, and didn't find it to be any quieter than mine. In addition to the different tire brand, I was told the 19" tires on the new S are wider than those on my previous S, which can contribute to added noise.
It's not a big enough deal that I would replace the tires at my own expense, but it's a little disappointing. If you're installing new tires on your S or X, I recommend choosing something other than the Continental ProContact.
Yep, those are the pads. Excellent video--is there a "Before" video to show us what your new brand new MS looked like before your do-it-yourself rebuild?You can see the item in question in my DIY video for aligning the front panels starting @1:22

The noise varies depending on the pavement, not rhythmic, comparable to the road noise from my wife’s Model 3. Since the other S I drove was just as noisy, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with the car.Please describe the noise.

Which tires? Again, lack of detail.
I know you are going to not worry about it, but when it does strike you later that it is annoying you may want to consider that people who want to help cannot due to the lack of communication. We are not in your car and cannot read your mind. If you change your mind, please post up more info and I am sure you can get some better responses. 2023 is worlds more quiet than pre-refresh.
Please take a look inside your front fenders with a bright flashlight and let us know the status of your noise absorption pads.As I mentioned earlier, the tires are Continental ProContact RX TI on 19” wheels. My previous 2018 Model S had Michelins, also on 19” wheels. More details in my OP.
I've attached photos of what I see inside the front fenders behind the tires. Looks fine to me, but I don't know what opening the frunk accomplishes, so maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing?Please take a look inside your front fenders with a bright flashlight and let us know the status of your noise absorption pads.
instructions in earlier post, but all you have to do is open your frunk.
Thanks.
I think we have to look from the inside of frunk, behind the wheel well. Not sure what can be seen with flash light.I've attached photos of what I see inside the front fenders behind the tires.

I assume you mean you have to remove the frunk liner. How do you do that? The instructions posted by @TSLA Pilot didn’t mention that, and I’m not really a DIY guy. I also watched the video that was posted earlier that showed the foam pieces, but everything was already taken apart.I think we have to look from the inside of frunk, behind the wheel well.

I think the idea is to use bright flashlight and look down this open slot. You can lift up the plastic trim a bit. I haven’t tried yet but seems like you can see behind wheel well.I assume you mean you have to remove the frunk liner. How do you do that?
