Tesla Model Y Rigid Hatch Stops

thingiverse

After picking up my Model Y I noticed that going over bumps or uneven roads there was a significant "boominess" in the cabin that created a low frequency, infrasonic sound that was quite irritating. After some research, I realized this problem is systemic to a lot of Model S and Model Y models because of slight movement of the rear hatch. After calibrating my rubber hatch stops with the "envelope trick" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4fYt06sfN0), it didn't remove the issue completely. There was some discussion on Tesla Motor Club forums about making the two hatch stops more rigid to prevent any flex. Therefore I created these slip-on rigid hatch stops. They are a tight fit (I recommend printing with a 0.4mm nozzle)- if you adjust the size, you'll probably only want to do it by 0.5% There are several sizes depending on the depth of your rubber stop. I have marked the measurements of various STLs in 0.5mm increments so you can see what size fits best. Either sides of my vehicle's hatch stops were not equal in depth. Also attached is a parametric Fusion 360 file if you'd like to make subtle adjustments in any parameters. I haven't done a spectrum analysis with my phone yet, but I do feel that it has improved.
