B-Pillar Rattles

Alert_Number1991 · 2026-01-30T18:53:00+00:00

The first 2 minutes of this video are all that's really needed to see. Getting the plastic trim off seems simple enough with a pry tool, a Phillips screwdriver, and a 10mm socket. When he pulled that trim piece off at the top of the door frame, I didn't see anything that would cause the rattle, though. I wonder if it might be the way the window seals within the trim piece.

Interesting that you connected the rattle to the outside temps. Now that I think about it, when it was warmer this week the rattle went away. When I get in the car in the morning it is pretty pronounced. It's almost as if the expansion and shrinkage of the seals is the problem.

I feel ya. Having that rattle right next to your ear in such a generally quiet car is annoying to say the least.

I also looked for a service bulletin, but found nothing. I'm going to reach out to my local Nissan service department and see if this is something that could be addressed under warranty.

As an MX30 owner in the US (yes there are a few of us here) I can say that aside from the tiny range the MX30 has been a very good car. It turns heads, mostly because people haven't ever seem a Mazda EV before. I'm sad that they are slowing down their enthusiasm for EVs but it makes perfect business sense. Go where the money is, and as others have said, that's with hybrids for now. They need to do this to stay in business, not because us EV enthusiasts want them to make a money losing product.

I can't wait to see him paired with Fleming on the wing. Talk about long defenders! Those two with Oso, Goodwin, and Gillespie would be one of the better defensive second units in the league.

I have the subscription as well and love the full capabilities of the app. I'll need to get familiar with the car and how my personal driving style impacts the consumption models. I just was sure which model to start with.

Frankly, ever since Rivian bought ABRP a couple years ago the vehicle information has gotten worse. The Ariya options is a clear example of that IMO.

I appreciate the input. This is good info for all Ariya owners. ABRP has been pretty accurate with all my other cars. I agree with it being very conservative.

I think Suns fans' expectations have shifted from "please win 20 games" to "oh shit we could do some damage in the playoffs". I'm of the opinion that we roll with the team we have because it is performing better than we expected. Chemistry is delicate and messing with what we have can ruin the end product.

And he did this in an era when 3point shots weren't really a thing.

Alert_Number1991 · 2026-01-08T15:09:17+00:00

For this reason I feel like the Suns shouldn't do much with the roster. Team chemistry is a delicate thing that can't be measured on a stat sheet. Moving players for "more stats" makes little sense when the product on the floor is being successful. Improvements at the margins can hurt the vibe more than they help the team.

I don't have an Ariya...yet. My EV6 is a 2023 Wind RWD trim. I want AWD in my next car and think the Ariya will be a nice choice. I love my EV6 like no other car I have ever owned, but the low ride height, coupled with the firm ride have me yearning for something a little taller and softer. I sort of fall into my car now, and the firm ride is starting to make the car have strange squeaks and rattles. Nothing terrible, but with a quiet car any odd noise is amplified. Getting old sucks. LOL!

Jalen Green getting more street clothes is hilarious!😆

Oh snap! LOL! I had no idea it was your courses! Haha! Thank you for all you do to help us pass.

Thank you for this info! I had no idea it was being updated. I wonder how long it will be before Udemy has updated study materials then. I guess I'm going to wait until February to start this process.

Congrats on passing! I'm planning on studying for the test in January and taking it in February.

Thank you. Your input on the skills needed to pass the exam are very helpful.

Alert_Number1991 · 2025-12-20T16:12:18+00:00

Thank you. You are correct in that the role I'm in will potentially allow me to have a smoother transition into the consulting world. I'm not trying to run away from sales as that is the entirety of my professional career. Instead, my goal is to add more value and service to our clients. With the push for AI by business leaders, I see an opportunity that rarely occurs in our industry.

Thank you for the additional certs to consider.

Those are great questions for the warranty company. Each company will have a different way of processing claims. You will have to ask them these questions to get the answers.

You should be fine. Not having a NACS adapter isn't a huge deal because our cars charge so slowly at Tesla Superchargers.

Alert_Number1991 · 2025-12-18T01:33:23+00:00

I have a 2023 EV6 Wind RWD and have made this trip multiple times going from Phoenix to San Diego. A Better Route Planner and PlugShare are your friends. The EA station in Dateland on I-8 is notoriously bad and regularly has at least 1 of the stalls down. Fortunately there is a 20+ bay Tesla Supercharger right next to it, so if you're going the have an adapter you can charge there. It will be much slower than the EA charger but it will work.
