The holes that are already in the seal. They may look small but the vinyl tubing will fit in there as long as you cut the tubing to a sharp tip to insert it

Update: There is truth to some of the other people's anecdotal reports of vinyl tubing not resolving booming noises in their Model Y. I met with user @BrianZ last weekend, and we did 5/16" OD tubing, calibrated the hatch, with not great results. Put in 3/8" OD tubing, and the gap was too huge...

Here you go. It's a few pages back. It's the hatch and rear wheel well mostly. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/7876294/

Hey Guys, I got 2 Samsung A7 Lites for free and decided to do something useful with them. I wanted a safe and sturdy tablet holder for the rear seats but surprisingly no one makes an aftermarket part that uses the headrest poles for the ultimate rigidity! These things don't move over any...

Try ShiftEV in Oakville. I bet they can supply and fix. Definitely not warrantable. I also have MPP coilovers (installed by Shift) and accept the fact if the upper control arms bushings go bad like they seem to, it's just something I've got to pay for now

Yeah that's weird for 5/16“ OD vinyl tubing. Given your hatch stops are in quite a bit But it does look like your rubber gasket is a bit twisted (around the tail lights) post install. I'd try to straighten it out a little. But if that doesn't resolve it then I don't think you can use tubing or...

Maybe try swapping out the tubing for something thinner? Or just make sure the tail light hatch stops aren't too over extended first off. If you unscrew them out completely temporarily does it close with an acceptable gap? If so, it's them. If not... Something isn't right with the tubing and the...

Weird can you post multiple pics of it closed and your hatch stops too. It shouldn't be that difficult or misaligned at the top against the sunroof. 5/16" OD right? Something seems weird. Edit nevermind I see your video. Those gaps aren't normal but I can't see the hatch stops. That's the...

Sorry...it is or isn't closing when you press the door closed manually?

Ok so that trim pops off and that area isn't sealed air tight? I was thinking of just popping it up a hair to allow better air flow. I haven't had a chance yet to look at the service manual but if it's not some special air seal I might give your suggestion a go.

Update: SC says the part number for the windshield has been recently updated, and there is a known issue that is supposed to be fixed by a future firmware update in regards to the camera heaters/defoggers. Not sure if I buy that but could be plausible. So for now, no impact detection or...

Hey everyone, can't seem to find many instances of this online. Had windshield replaced. As soon as cold or wet weather approaches, I get jumpy FSD visuals and on/off Front Camera Blinded errors. I always precondition my car for like 15 minutes before going somewhere. Defog is on the entire...

Those ones without the plastic nuts look too overextended to me. Start with them all turned in as far as possible, then adjust the tail light ones outwards at the same time with the same amount until it grips paper. Then follow up with the other ones extending them until they grip a paper...

Let's talk Lock Chimes. I spent about 30 minutes curating some sounds that I felt were sophisticated, short, and hopefully loud enough to hear on the PWS. I didn't want anything funny or corny. I've converted them all to wav and made sure they are under 1mb...

Ah, the vigilant guardians of forum integrity! Looks like I'm off to my trusty desktop, since the AliExpress app is too fancy to churn out plain old links. And no, I'm not some undercover agent for China, though I'm flattered by the dramatic undertones. Just a regular Joe who once dabbled in...

First look at park assist visuals Article says these are Ryzen vehicles but I can't confirm that via the users' tweets. Please please come on Intel... https://www.notateslaapp.com/news/1828/first-look-at-teslas-new-high-fidelity-park-assist-video

They are. But what I mean are they are just caps for the below. They are on an angle meant to align parallel to the stopper above. If you turn them, the surface area of contact will likely be lessened, which in theory, should be worse.

They are just a cap for part of the body structure (it's a rod under there). But their angle shouldn't be adjusted as it aligns contact with the other stopper

Yes it'll help resolve a good chunk of that road imperfection low freq noise

100% I get the dread. It can be solved though it just depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. You don't need to remove the tubing I don't think, all the service centre will try to do is re-align your hatch door stops. Rarely they put in these additional rubber stoppers near the...

The paper won't be held in by just the gasket itself, that's normal. You can add additional rubber seal, I can't say for sure it will do much. If you feel that it's still so-so, you can try upping the tubing to 3/8" OD (that is what I use). It's harder to get through and will result in more...

To me it looks significantly louder with it closed. That band is quite a lot brighter. I'd still do vinyl tubing in the gasket and re-adjust hatch stops after. The other sound source element is the rear wheel wells transmit sound easily into the cabin and can be resolved by sound deadening...

Most can only record down to ~45hz and these tones are around 30 to 40hz

You won't make the seal worse. It's unlikely you will make the noise worse if you do it properly and take your time. It's easy to pull out the tube if you don't want it but it seems like 90% of people note some kind of improvement. It's easy to remove if you want to. Actually the harder thing...

With Spotify? With the new Spotify refresh update? I'm no longer having this issue. Sometimes it's slow to load but I figured because Spotify's interface is now basically an html wrapper it's handling images differently than before.

Ah ok, interesting to know. I'm in Canada so similar weather conditions. I may do the exterior of the wheel wells as well. Regarding the vinyl tubing, since it's such a minor modification and you went this far, I would still suggest trying it since it only takes 10 minutes to put ~8mm tubing in...

Wow that's quite the undertaking. Good job. If it were me I wouldn't focus on the doors. The resonance in this car I feel all starts at the suspension and then is worsened by the rigidity of the structure because of the battery. I've seen people apply deadening material to the exterior of the...

I've got this one from AliExpress and have had it for a long while. I like it because it's super plush and soft, which is also helpful because I don't trust anything firm from a safety point of view. Also provides a nice buffer when flooring it with acceleration boost :)...

Don't worry about the pop of your hatch. It's normal and will subside a little as it settles into place.

I've adjusted mine easily over 100 times trying to be precise about it. I could never find a particular adjustment where it was good unless it was ridiculously extended in which case the rubber seal wasn't even making proper contact. So yes, my first attempt was trying to solve this without any...

The amplifier? Yes. It's just 3 bolts. As well as the bolts on the subwoofer. But you don't need to remove the wire connections to any of them.

Yup it fits in those holes easily as long as you cut the vinyl tubing into a spear-like end it will slide in easily. It won't tear if you push it in straight.

5/16 is the OD size

9.5

It's there if you expand the description on the video.

Great to hear! I think the OEM one is thinner but can't say for certain as I haven't seen it in person. The AliExpress one is made of some particle board material with soft padding and is maybe like 3/4” to 1" thick.

Was my first time doing it. Wasn't too tough. Other than wearing gloves is the most important to thing. I also couldn't seem to release the subwoofer connector clip so I just left it connected but pushed out of the way. Don't take off the entire back side panels just bend them back and out of...

That's such a tricky thing because it can vary wildly from car to car Mine is mostly rattle free. In fact if there is a rattle it comes from anything that I've got in the car whether it's something in the door pocket or even strangely a water bottle in the cup holder makes weird rattling noises...

3/8" will increase your gap. 5mm does sound like a lot but I haven't taken a caliper to mine to see what it is. It will compress slightly, you just have to give it some time after installation and the tubing will be squished into place by the weight of the door.

Moving the striker down made it worse for me as well. Counter intuitive right? Are the gaps worse than other door panels? Don't forget this is a door gap which is different than a regular panel gap. It's unrealistic to expect that it should be super minimal. Extra gaskets along the hatch are...

Well there is only fiber liners in the rear wheel wells. I'm not familiar with spray solution sound deadening. Although theoretically you should be able to take off the lining and then put sound-deadening material and then put the lining back. You might need longer retainer clips though. In...

I don't have this kit but I have sound deadening butyl in these areas: I can say for certainty that none of these areas matter except for: The reason why I know is that I did every area except that spot because it's underneath some existing sound insulation foam. When I went back and...

Wait, when I bought Acceleration Boost 2 years ago, it said it would put 0-60 at ~4.2-4.1 seconds. And the MYP was 3.7 seconds at that time. Maybe I wasn't paying attention, but has it changed? Is my 2021 LR with Boost nearly as fast as a 2023 MYP?

Wow crazy no airbags, but I wonder are the rear collision sensors only located in the bumper area where the sonar sensors are located? I don't know exactly how this stuff works. Do you feel that airbags would've helped in any way or you would've been worse off? I would think the car will...

I just bought those sound fabric wheel well liners from AliExpress and put them on. No butyl. Slight improvement but nothing major and maybe not even noticeable for some.

There's not a lot of good places to put butyl under the frunk for the wheel wells. Most direct exposure of the front wheel well is obscured by the front suspension frame.

That does seem counter-intuitive, usually the tubing adds extra height which then creates a gap between the stops. Theoretically, those air line tubes should be fine since they are also rigid. Is the rubber gasket straight and even with the tubing in? I wonder if the tubing pushed it to one...

So according to Reddit, some people say that the only way they could recover this issue is by doing a full Factory Reset, and those who did it claim even after a week the problem hasn't resumed. So I think it's safe to assume that's the only way to rectify this issue at this point. Just the...

Yeah, took me 3 hours just to do the trunk, first time doing that though. And doing it again I wouldn't bother to do sound deadening in all the places like the sub trunk which looks like it should contribute to noise but doesn't, or the outer facing body panels. Only the rear wheel wells...
