i think the foam has some adhesive on it already so i just pressed mine back onto the metal. i pushed gently on the vent from the top to see if it still wanted to move. once i got it settled, the vent trim seemed to stay in position. i don’t think you’d want to get rid of the foam because it probably reduces/mitigates trim-to-metal contact noise.

Same issue here, I have appt at KOP service center this Thursday, one month ago from the day I called. The wait times are stacking up. The wind noise from the FR and RR windows is substantial above 65mph.
can you let me know what the fix is here from Lucid? i found you can actually gently press the trim into the door and while it won’t entirely “stay” it does cut down on the noise from the door. i’m thinking inlay for the door isn’t large enough so it bulges out

I got those clips months ago...this still doesn't lead to noise reduction

It's been 5 minutes since the last post about wind noise.
In my case, there is a correlation between the windows on the right side of the car "poking out," generating excessive wind noise reaching ~65mph, vs the left side where they're poking out just a little bit, with considerably less wind noise. The tech who rode with me this morning heard it right away once we were on smooth road. It's worth pointing out that if you're riding on a noisy road (even if it's smooth), based on the material that makes up the surface, I suppose), it can be enough to more or less drown out the excessive wind noise. That, and I I suspect we had a tailwind at the time because when we turned around and used a different road (smooth), the wind noise presented itself by around 40mph indicated rather than the 60-65 number that is typical.
I should be test driving in another 45 mins or so from now with all the known issues resolved and ready for review (trim piece popped out on rear left pillar, shelf noise, window trim issues leading to window sticking out slightly, and sticky interior door latch on rear left side, something the tech had never seen).

I tried this also but the wind noise persists
I have had the clips replaced and retrimmed, but sound still prevails. It almost sounds like it's coming from the windshield/glass canopy over driver side door. I tried adding in some insulation inbetween the a pillar and windshield, didn't help much, but was thinking of leaving it there if it isn't hurting anything. (See attached)
I have another appointment at KOP next month myself to get it looked at again (they did it 2 weeks ago) along with the parcel shelf fix (already replaced once, they patched the second one, and now it's rattling again)

Welcome to the club..same things that I've gone through months ago..I have been looking at the hood vent foam pieces but not sure what to do to them to eliminate them as a culprit...any ideas?

There are two parallel threads discussing the same thing right now. The other is titled 'Window Trim'. To answer your question, it's the following Lucid TSB... From my service invoice... Corrections: Performed -TSB-C0324-005-01- Install retention clips on all side door glass run seals.
This fixed my wind noise problem, but many others have said that theirs persists. A least a partial reason may be that I have a metal roof, and a lot of the people talking about continued wind noise mention having a glass roof.
Hope this helps...
Went to service center for Sat. appt.
Service rep goes away for 15 min. then returns & suggests test drive. It was obvious that nothing had been done to window trim,
I suggest we compare my car to others parked in lot. We skip test drive & he takes car to service dept.
Work summary states: Replaced right rear glass run. Okay at this time
I can tell that wind noise is reduced.
Rep would not have trim on LR replaced because it is "within spec".
The service experience has become progressively less satisfactory.

I read your post twice and I still have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

But @blaferty’s most recent post sounds like he:
1) Showed up to the service center and had to wait 15 minutes - that sucks but is not exactly something to write to your senator about either;
2) The service tech suggested a test drive so that they could hear what the complaint was, such that they could reproduce the issue and then fix it;
3) The test drive was declined, so they went to try and fix it without reproducing it, and replaced the rear glass run, in which they seemingly found some issue, but not the trim, since they found that was within spec;
4) @blaferty noted the wind noise is reduced now after service’s fixes;
5) Somehow Lucid service is now “less satisfactory” than it was before?
I missed that last leap, since it sounds to me like the only negative interaction was waiting 15 minutes, but
So, apparently you have arrived at the same conclusion as I.Post in thread 'Wind Noise'

The fix is a set of steel retaining clips. My trim was bulging out as well, causing the window to be out of alignment. That was all resolved by them reseating the trim and install the clips. The noise in the cabin is considerably reduced. Prior to this, it would start to become noticeable at around 45mph, and substantial by 65-70mph.
My first partial shelf was "re-done" and it eliminated some of the squeaking, while somehow making the chirps that did take place even more intense. The service tech at KOP looked at it and identified 2 points of contact with the glass (obvious once I looked, too). He said, "since it's already been re-worked once, we'll replace it." The replacement was a new revision that appears to have a lower overall surface area. There are ZERO points of contact with the rear windshield as the 'expense' of certain interior parts becoming visible when viewed up close, and from specific angles that would've otherwise been obscured by the previous shelf. This is an excellent compromise, though....I've driven around 400 miles since the car was serviced and haven't heard a PEEP from the shelf. It's less of a dark art than one might imagine...the shelf is either touching the glass, or it's not. If it is, then when the shelf is disturbed by a bump, the shelf squeaks as a result of the interaction with the glass.
I have wind noise from RR window on 2024 Touring.
Pic shows gap in trim above RR window. Much larger gap than LR.
Have appt at Svc on Sat.

A test drive is a waste of everyone's time. I don't know why rep took the car to service area & returned with
nothing having been done.
I was offered a Lyft home & back but declined as I was prepared to wait.
The whole process took less than an hour.
I appreciate the info bobby & borski contribute to the forum.
The fanboy thing, however, can be a bit much.

Not fanboy’ing, and frankly, insulted by the insinuation.It is obvious from pic that trim above RR window is not "within spec".I have wind noise from RR window on 2024 Touring.

I remain confused as to what part of the service experience you thought was unsatisfactory? That trim doesn’t look perfectly aligned, but that is not necessarily sealing trim; that is, it may not have been the cause of your wind noise. Sounds like it was, which is great.
Moreover, “within spec” means exactly what it says; that doesn’t mean it aligns perfectly. That means it is within acceptable tolerances.
But it is absolutely not unreasonable to ask for a test drive so you can reproduce and hear the problem.
I would say this exact same thing if your experience was with Tesla or anyone else. Please take your fanboy nonsense and leave it out of conversations you hope to keep productive. Thanks.

I also have the whistling noise, only on the driver’s side, and have another strange noise that I can only describe as rubber on metal at ear level. So I took a look at the door gasket and my drivers side gasket seems to not fit well along the door opening. There are areas where I can push in to make it fit better but it’ll loosen elsewhere. Almost as if it’s too small for the opening. I would think they’re all standard.
