why do I hear a whistling noise from my Tesla Model 3 Highland (2024-present)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and replacement parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and set the parking brake.
• Disconnect the battery (optional) for safety during inspection.

2. Inspect and Replace Seals

• Inspect Seals:
  • Visually check all door, window, and trunk seals for cracks or misalignment.
  • Use a flashlight to identify any gaps or damage.
• Replace Seals (if necessary):
  • Remove any damaged seals carefully using a trim removal tool.
  • Clean the surface where the new seal will be installed.
  • Install the new seal by pressing it firmly into place, ensuring a snug fit.

3. Tighten Loose Components

• Locate Potential Loose Components:
  • Check under the hood for any loose hoses, covers, or brackets.
• Tightening Process:
  • Use a socket set to tighten any loose bolts or screws on engine covers and components.
  • Ensure all clips and fasteners are securely attached.

4. Test Drive

• After repairs, conduct a test drive to verify if the whistling noise has been resolved.
• Monitor for any residual noise during acceleration and at various speeds.
