Summary of Abnormal Noises in the Teramont?
1 Answers
Abnormal Noise 1: While driving, on uneven roads or when lightly braking, a continuous 'clicking' sound is heard from the right rear. Since the noise seems to come from behind the right ear while driving, focus on inspecting the right rear seat area. Two measures were taken: 1) The entire row of plastic panels under the rear seats was manually shaken to identify contact points with the rear metal frame. All contact points were isolated by attaching the loop side of hook-and-loop fasteners with 3M adhesive (included with floor mat purchases). For areas difficult to attach, foam was directly inserted into the gaps. 2) Another measure, inspired by forum discussions, involved flipping the right rear independent seat forward, removing the decorative panel, and inserting foam beneath the two thin rods (as shown in the reference image below). The foam from a phone case packaging was used, as its thickness was just right. After fitting, it was wrapped with insulating tape and inserted. Abnormal Noise 2: Noise near the windows. This noise started last autumn/winter, characterized by an occasional 'pop' sound from the upper areas near the B-pillars on both the driver and passenger sides, resembling something hitting the glass. A claim was filed at the 4S store for replacement of the B-pillar decorative panels on both sides. After replacement, the noise ceased completely.
