Thank you @ilovecoffee so much for your video! I have been trying to find a solution of the ear pressure problem for my brand new MYLR. I was about to install the vinyl tubing as you suggested but couldn't figure out where to insert the tube. There is hole on the rubber seal in your video. Did you cut it? I was hoping we don't really have to do that.

Glad the tubing works for you. Did you mean those small holes along the seal when you say "I didn't notice that they can be installed through the holes". They look too small to fit the 5/16" PVC tubing. I thought you can only spray the lubricant via those small holes.
I think people do in fact use those holes to insert the tubing, although I didn't realize that at the time. I split it right at the seam in the middle top of the seal. I might go in and glue it back together at some point, just to be safe that no water will get in.
Just following up on this @ilovecoffee, where would I put the weather stripping? Around the hatch? Thanks!

Yup it fits in those holes easily as long as you cut the vinyl tubing into a spear-like end it will slide in easily. It won't tear if you push it in straight.

I can’t thank you enough, @ilovecoffee. The booming in my new Y was unbearable and your solution fixed it. Of course Tesla service was completely useless.
You’re the best!

Tubing and bump stop adjustments. The tubing was 95% of the solution in my case.
Been reading all the solutions everyone has been trying and I’ve tried a few too with little success (hatch stop adjustment and ridged stops). purchased the tubing but haven’t tried it yet. But wondering if the booming is coming from a combo of the hatch and sub trunk.
I’ve noticed that if I bang my hand on the sub trunk cover it’s REALLY boomy. Which led me to putting large foam blocks in the sub trunk to see if it changed anything. (Not really, maybe a little). I’m thinking it’s more of what the cover itself is made out of, that resonates so much. So this morning I drove into work with the cover removed and the foam still in there and it made a huge difference. Not 100% gone, but the booming was noticeably reduced. Has anyone explored sub trunk cover treatments or replacing it with a different material that isn’t as resonating? BTW, I have a 2023 MYP.

The tubing reduced my booming by 90%. Try that before messing with anything else.
Thanks for the reply. I’m going to try the tube just don’t love that it stresses out the hatch so much. So based on that response no one explored the sub trunk?

Whenever you wonder why Tesla did something that doesn’t make sense it’s to reduce the build cost of their vehicles. Rain sensor, USS, radar, this stupid gasket, anything. Cost reduction.
You wont hear that since it is a low frequency, it happened on me start from 40 to 60km/h and beyond. you feel like seating in the air plane and take off from runway
