Thank you, this rattles drive me crazy i figured it out also after many attempts to find the source and your solution is great ! Even the service center couldn't point were the rattles coming from
Excellent problem solving and thank you so much for the fix. I hope Tesla is taking note of these tiny design flaws that their owners are finding for them.
Thank you so much for this video. I had this same issue and got it fixed after taking it to Tesla four time. Which of course they said it was within spec. Final took it apart my self and it’s good to go now.
The Expedition/Navigator with 3rd row seats has the same problem on the smaller side of the seat. A plastic 1/16" thick washer between the bracket bolt took care of the problem. Great troubleshooting video.
Have very similar sounds in model y produced 12/2021. I’ll attempt to take a look at these areas. Thanks for posting video. When my kids sit in seats, sounds go away which makes sense.
Adding a shim can move the bench to the side a little bit and cause it to scratch the metal hooking mechanism from its side. That will cause a new squeaking noise after doing the fix in the video. If that's your case make sure to check it out and add extra material on the side of the hook so it doesn't scratch against the plastic.
Good video. bracket was for sure a problem.Center sleeve was still in place. I used a rubber washer to eliminate slop in bracket.Lube also. I also added 1/2" foam insulation along top bracket where top of seat clamps in place. Placed on metal inside cover. Solved problem.
Can you post a video on how to disassemble the seat completely? A lot of us don’t know how to to get to the component without showing a start to finish. Thanks! :)
Yeah, sorry for just getting back to you. I actually need to do mine again. The sleeve fell off again, but I’m developing a solution I hope to share soon.
Thanks for the video! I'm trying to find my missing calipers, do you happen to have the exact measurements so I can design the washer, or better yet, the STL that you've used?
Szia Mike! I experience a similar rattling, or rather a DUMB CLICK in the backrest of the left front seat - when starting off - only sometimes, but still very disturbing!!! Do you have experience with this? When I stand on the lumbar support, the DUMB CLICK does not appear for a few days... b/r.
@@chrispetrillose It does not click in certain seating positions. I don't feel the pin joints are the source of the problem. I haven't seen a video of a disassembled seat yet.
Hello I have the exact same issue and I am not very confident with the remove process of "Bolster - Side - Seat - 2nd Row ». Th service manual says that the pastic bracket (Bolster - Side - Seat Clip : 1111033-00-E) is a "one time use only ». Please can you help with the remove and install process ? You seems to have managed to do it wihout breaking this bracket. This rattle drives me crazy !
What year is this m3, mine is 2021 and doesn't have the bracket in between the seats I did all spots you mentioned and still can hear a tiny rattle any advice?
@@yessuz I’m sorry, I have not. However this video should help at around 4 min 23 sec you get to see it get put back together. That should show you enough. ua-cam.com/video/nn2mBrJVefo/v-deo.html
@@KiloDoubleMike just remove the seat and the rattle still here but Tesla has followed you to make that plastic piece in the middle. mine is 2021 model 3.
@@kinhung You mean that sleeve or that the sleeve now has a flange on it? The sleeve was stock, I hope they updated the design for that purpose though.
@@KiloDoubleMike got the original rattles fixed by tesla, is trunk trim and they said they lubricate the rear seats. however, they just make new rattle from the joints of the rear seats. I can press the seats to make the noise now
@@KiloDoubleMike back from tesla, door panels rattle gone by replacing new clips, D pillar rattle gone , they reinstall something. but they just give me the exact new rattle from the back seat in your video. try to solve it myself some days.
My sleeve was so sloppy I had to put electrical tape on the rod so it wouldn’t go into the seat, if you 3D print the sleeve I’ll be your first customer
THANK YOU. My seats move up and down about 9 thousand feet each direction, I BET this is the problem. Thanks a ton, I'll report back when I fix it. Also have an insanely annoying squeak that I cant find, maybe it's on of those bushings.

Two years with this noise! Thanks so much for the solution!
Had this problem too. I just used felt tape and wrapped it around and between bolt on seat that worked great. Thanks

This is epic. Shame Tesla didn’t do this themselves to begin with. Well done! 👍
Fixed my issue as well ! Was driving me nuts. Thanks so much
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. You solved my backseat rattle and your video gave me all the steps necessary to fix it.
I've had this issue since Nov 2018. Now, it's gone! Thank you!

Thank you for posting the video and showing the design flows. The rattling noise was bothering me a lot. Finally will fix it!
Just done this fix and it works! Finally that annoying rattle is gone!
could you tell me the exact size of washer?

what rubber washer size did you buy? thanks
What year model 3 is yours?
@@xtremerazor7618 2018
What size rubber washer did you use?
This is da video. Good work! Rattle fear us!
How did you get to the bolts on those seats? I'm struggling, same issue.
The leather covered parts that the seatbelts lay on pull off. They are apparently called C-pillars covers. Might need to look up How to remove them.
Wonderful! thank you!
I had the same rattle issue. It took a long long time to find the rattles came from that hinges.

Same Herę, sens to be no vids on how to remove the rear seat backs. Would really help.

Def looking forward to your video!! Would love to permanently fix this
Great video! Is there a video that can show how to actually remove the rear seats?
I am looking for this too!

how do access the side latch where you put the washer? think i have the same problem but not sure how to access it

Was removing the trim pieces on the side of the seat to expose these bolts easy to do? ty
Man, I am terrible at responding apparently. Sorry about that. Yes it was pretty easy, Just pull from the top and they pop right off.
@@KiloDoubleMike that’s ok. Thanks. I was able to pop it off
@@KiloDoubleMike Was it difficult to put them back in place?
@@Brice_Cassa a bit.
Do you happen to have a before video? I have a rattle that is any money the same as yours.
Please share video of rattle if you have one. I’m trying to narrow down rattle in rear seat/rear deck area as well.
thank you
Hi can you share the .stl file or the exact dimensions of the washer please ? Thank you for the help
Hello,
what is the diameter of the washer? nylon or plastic?
Thanks
I’m not sure. I’ll get back to you on that
Did the noise happen when your seats were folded down?

Does the rattle sound high pitch? I have similar movement. But my annoying rattle sound high pitch like plastic hit metal sheet.
It can sound like that sometimes yes.

My sleeve was so sloppy I had to put electrical tape on the rod so it wouldn’t go into the seat, if you 3D print the sleeve I’ll be your first customer
I’m actually designing a lip that will stop this from happening. I’ll post a vid soon.
@@KiloDoubleMike - what’s the status on this? Thanks 👍🏻
@@KiloDoubleMikeHas the new video been posted?
Tesla should pay you or hire you as QC specialist.
$50000 car. LOL
Tesla should get sued for all this bullshit rattle and squeeks.
Clearly stupid Tesla design! Teslas drive great but all the rattles make me want to sell mine!
Tesla is a terrible company. You shouldn’t have to create your own fixes for their poor designs
Terrible company? No. Poor design? Yes.
