Refresh 6 seat rattle in rear

[kchau]

Has anyone had and found a rattle that is somewhere in the drivers side of the second row?

It sounds like it’s either the door panel or the monopost cover but I haven’t been able to find it yet.

I’d call mine a squeak instead of a rattle, but yes!! I’ll update if I find the source.

I think it's actually the rear of the drivers seat for me. The rattle seems to be related to the creaking with the drivers seat too. I took a look back there and didn't see much, except for the seatbelt anchor on the left side, where the cable attaches to the seat frame. I put some oil on that and will find out tomorrow if it did something.

I may have just found the source of the rattle. I am pretty sure that the end of the falcon door release cable is not supposed to be resting on the speaker.

Confirmed fixed.

I have a "shuffling" type rattle somewhere - is this similar to what you had?

describe shuffling? Like bridge shuffling cards?

Sorry I know that was very vague. I have a noise coming from the back seat, seemingly behind both the driver and the passenger seats. It could also be coming from further back as in-car acoustics is tricky to nail down. The noise itself is like sheets of paper or rough cloth rubbing/shuffling against each other. Curious if yours was anything similar?

You have 6 seats? The monopost cladding covers do make a little noise.

Mine sounded it was definitely coming from the lower left drivers seat, which is where the speaker is. And it sounded a fast tapping.

Thanks, appreciate the info!

This fixed my noise issue too!!!!
Looks like the speaker surround was installed over the wire pull “handle.” I just pulled the wire through the foam and got my sanity back!

This thread from 2020 includes what looks like a similar issue with the speaker rattle on a 2020 Model X, so I guess they haven't fixed that issue yet...

Model X Rattle Sources

I've been derattling a July 2020 built Model X and I thought it might help others to share some of the sources of rattles that I've found. Generally, every area of the car has something that could cause a noise. So, behind glovebox, inside all the door cards, under all the seats, in the rear...

Just throwing another data point out there. I had this same exact problem, but on the passenger side.

It sounds like what everyone is describing here is the source of my issue also, can anyone provide instructions on how to remove the speaker grill and what to do with the falcon wing wire if it is hanging loose?

 

[shingles]

You just pull it off straight off. Move the cable and just zip tie or tape it somewhere.

Unfortunately this was not the issue for me, I pulled off the speaker and the FW release wire was pinned in between the speaker mount and the foam, and was not extending onto the speaker. But I pulled it out of the speaker mount through the foam just incase to see if it would fix the problem and it didn't, I still have the squeaking coming from somewhere behind the driver seat.

If you are sure it's from the door somewhere, it's possible that the FWD is rubbing on the rear wheel arch. On my driver side door, it was doing that. I put some felt tape on the arches and it stopped the sound.

Im not sure its on the door, I rarely sit in the back seat or passenger seat, but while driving it sounds like its under the driver seat or somewhere in between the driver side middle row seat and the drivers seat. I will try riding in the back seat and see if I can pin point the area.
