Just noticed this (weatherstrip loose) today on my car. I noticed it first on the rear passenger side door, then when I looked closer ant the rear driver's side door, it was starting to do the same thing. Did you take your vehicle to the dealership yet? Any issues any getting this repaired? Thanks!

Okay, thanks. Good to know! I've had my car for just over 6 weeks so far, 3 of which were spent at the dealership (brake rotors, steering rack, driver's seat noise, phone charging pad). Just got the car back a few days ago. Maybe I'll try calling them and sending them pictures so they can order the parts before I take the car there.

I also had my brake rotors replaced too as well. Such a pain.

I had the brake issue, 3 weeks. Then the phone charge issue at which time they looked into why the foot trunk open/close didn't work. Turns out even with the build sheet saying it was there, it is empty and waiting on chips!

Hey! Quick question, I also have some noise in the driver's seat. It is probably caused by the cushion rubbing the the seat holder. Plus also some noise coming from the behind the seat. So, I was wondering that was the issue with yours? Were they able to fix it? If so, how? Thanks!

24 hours later, I turned the car on and everything works- the screen and all assistance systems are functioning normally like before. All I did was turn the car on. Dealer is super apologetic.
I’ve kept my appt at the dealer as what happened is not normal, especially since they chose to make the AC controls part of the screen! I doubt they will find anything wrong though, one local dealer said they don’t even have enough techs to work on the newer models yet.

On my car, the noise seems to come from the seat instead of the back. It sounds sort of like plastic click or pop sound. I haven't been able to pinpoint the source but it seems like the sound is coming from the left hand side, perhaps near the door pillar. Worth mentioning, the noise seems to mostly happen when making turns - especially left hand turns. Unfortunately, the fix the dealership performed (copied some info below) didn't resolve or even improve it. It's annoying but not unbearable. I'm trying not to listen for it when I drive. I'll take it back at some point to have them look at it again - maybe when I have the seals on the rear doors fixed.

Found the left front seat back trim is the point of concern. Further examination found it requires repair. Accessed and repaired seat back trim with all other related new seals gaskets and non-reusable hardware and reinstalled all components.
