    I’ve also found that sometimes if the rattle is coming from the door panels on the interior, it could be that the plastic panel is rubbing slightly on the interior side of the painted door, creating a pretty annoying and sometimes noisy rattle.
    I found that a simple fix is to get a piece of paper and just fold it over a few times, then find a gap between the plastic panel and the metal paint and just slide the paper in and along the gap until it feels hard to move. Then just try and cut back the paper a bit so it’s not as obvious sticking out and it should sort the rubbing rattle problem!

    OK helpful, as I knew about most of it, but didn't think about the vents. Thanks. The other issue I have is wind noise in the doors. Adjusting the foam trim up a bit helps with that.

    Had mine a week and the main one for me is the rear view mirror housing and also the passenger seat belt if it’s down the side of the seat unbuckled.

    Use a piece of paper (fold it in half maybe) inbetween trunk stops. When you close it and cant pull it out its perfect, if you can adjust it more.

    I had the creeking from the boot on my 23 MYP on rough roads. Tesla mobile service in the end sorted by cutting back the shorter rubber trim on the outside of the one you pointed out you lubricated with silicon gel.

      I suggest that you drive both before committing....i had an order for a polestar; then cancelled it after a test drive.
      Dont expect the polestar to be anywhere near as good as proper Volvo's of yesteryear otherwise you will be very disappointed, remember they are of Chinese origin now, so totally different.
      I got the model Y eventually which is far superior imo.

    I had the same creaking from the tailgate, tesla told me its dirt under the seals on the edge. I ended up putting fabric tape where the seals touch the bodywork and never had the problem again.

    • @GoGreenAutos
      @GoGreenAutos  Місяць тому

      Really. So that would be effectively the same as lubricating the rubber, which I found didn't make any difference.
      Very interesting.

    Really helpful video. Like you, I have bought covers for the floor mounted air vents. However, I have a rattle caused by a single tic tac dropping into the rear air vents between the seats. I have removed the vents to try and find it, but have not found it yet. The search goes on!

    At 4:58 the left lower bump stop creaks when you turn it. Have you considered it might be a bump stop that is the cause?

    • @GoGreenAutos
      @GoGreenAutos  Місяць тому

      I've not experienced that. But usefully door card & trim rattles are from the plastic retaining clips behind. It'll need to removing to make sure none are broken, then also wrapping some tape around them makes them fit more snugly and stops any vibration.

    I had a rattle with middle rear seat. Solved it by putting duct tape on the bar for the latch.
    On the boot lid, which way to turn it? Is it counter clockwise to come out? Clockwise to go in and less pressure on the lock latch?

    • @GoGreenAutos
      @GoGreenAutos  Місяць тому +1

      I'm going to do a video on the boot lid bump stops as its opposite to what you'd think. You would have thought that winding them in so the lid is sat harder on the rubber seals would solve it, but its the opposite - it needs to sit harder on the bump stops.

    Excellent video. Would you recommend any creaking assistance for Model 3? I have some rattles in my Model 3. Drives me crazy. I took my car in 3 times for service. It still rattles. Great car, but the quality of the bodywork seems lacking.

    • @GoGreenAutos
      @GoGreenAutos  Місяць тому

      While I've driven many Model 3's, I've not had one for any extended period of time. I would assume most of the rattles are trim, so its normally a case removing the trim and putting tape around the clips to take up any slack.
