Model 3 Rear Passenger Seats Rattling

[royolpunk]

I'm currently having some intense rattling in my rear passenger seats (particularly the right one) and the seat always rattles. I've taken it to a service center (and paid them $195...) to "fix" it, but even after they told me the rattle is gone, it's still there.

Was wondering if any of you had anything similar? I thought it was a latch issue, but it doesn't seem to be the case. I even padded the area where the latches meet.

Theres quite a bit of space between the seat and the rear deck. It doesnt rest on the deck but on the hinge.
I also found some left over manufacturing items between the seat and back.

Hmm...i'll have to check it out. Any suggestions on how to remediate the solution? add more padding between the seat and rear deck?

Check to see if the rattling is actually coming from the rectangular opening in the center of the rear deck.
Someone here has found that the noise is coming from there and was able to eliminate it by sticking a piece of paper in the corner from the trunk side.
I had some noise form the junk left between the seat and rear.

Why did you have to pay 195?

We had exactly the same issue. I just wrapped a little electrical tape around the rear seat metal latch. Problem solved.

Thanks to all-- the annoying rattling in my "new" Model 3 is so bad that I wonder if I can recommend this car to prospective car buyers-- Pay over 52 thousand for a car and have it sound like a cheap rattle-trap--

I've had my wife ride in the back seat for hours trying to find the source of the annoying rattling-- we decided it was due to the cheap ass cardboard construction of the panels in the back area-- Tesla is anyone reading this--- Pay over 52 THOUSAND for your car and it sounds like a CHEAP junker?
