Ioniq Electric - Rattle That Comes And Goes Under The Passenger Seat

[MaskonZed10]

Hello, guys!
I keep hearing a rattle from time to time under the passenger seat. Sometimes it stops for a while, but then it starts again.
I have noticed that I hear it whenever I stop the car.
I don't know how to access the vent under the seat. I think there it is.
I tried with an endoscopic camera, but no results to see something.
Is there any easy way to resolve this one?
I would appreciate it.

Trust me, it is hard to identify the issue... many complain about this problem... Does it sound like it's exactly inside the cabin, directly under the passenger front seat?

I'd suggest taking it to your dealer and have them drive your car so that they can hear it firsthand where the noise is coming from.

Yeah, it does sound like it is right under the passenger seat. I was thinking about taking it to the dealer, but I would prefer to check a few things myself first if I can.

I would remove the seat completely to see if there is something... do you think it is a good idea?

Man, I don't know what to say... Just take it to the dealer.

Hey, @MaskonZed10, any updates on this? Have you taken your car to the dealership?

How is it now?? Did you find the cause?

I didn't need to go to the dealership.
I removed the passenger seat and found a loose plastic vent cover under it.
I secured it with some double-sided tape (hopefully, it will hold it), and there is no rattle anymore.
Thanks for every reply!

Oh, wow! Impressive. Wonder how that plastic went in there...
