Speaker rattle

[Mlin]

Does anyone know how to remove this speaker? I am getting a rattle and was wondering if the speaker just pops out so I can see what is loose behind there.

I don't think that is a speaker, but the microphone. Sorry, I'm not sure how it is removed as I've not removed that specific trim. Most of the cabin trim uses a snap fit, but often very tough snaps - to the point where you question if something is going to break when trying to release the snaps.

This cover can be popped up but I’m not sure it’s a speaker. Here is a A pillar cover from backside of older car where the small cover has “Airbag” stamped on it.

I had the same issue, It’s not a speaker rattle. It is a screw rubbing the metal structure by the curtain airbag. I fixed it by opening the window seal a shoving some foam between it. Fixed. YouTube has videos on how to remove seal on the model 3. Basically the same thing

Thank you! May you provide an image showing where you opened the window seal? I'm having a hard time picturing this. The reason why I thought it was the speaker is when I put just a little bit of pressure on the speaker while I'm driving the rattle goes away.

I thought the same, but the speaker bolts are rubbing with metal. Hence causing a rattle

Can you link a video? I tried looking for one and couldn’t find one.

I have this same issue on my 2023 MS. I hope someone could give me detailed guidance how to fix this?

I ended up taking it into Tesla service. They knew right away what it was and mentioned it was a common problem. They put insulation in the panel above the window and the problem has been fixed.
