Hopefully a good ending to rattling/clicking/ticking noise 9 months later

We'll hopefully today is the day that my Tucson is really the Tucson I had hoped for when I bought it.

Here is the link to my threads where I state the issues, so I don't have to restate everything!

Had another dealership check it out and bang, they said the pinch welds near the passenger rear door had not been punctured and therefore the noise was coming from metal on metal contact. Test drove it yesterday, no similar noise. Picked it up today, no similar noise.

Hoping that this is the end of the line for me with this long issue, but also hope this helps anyone else with similar rattling issues.

Cross all your fingers and I'll cross mine too!

is this something i could fix myself or need service for it? I've been having the same issue, and most notably since the cold weather started (and bumpier, snowy roads up north here). Have done everything with the rear seat except for removing it completely. but it could be pinch welds? I'm not too familiar with this but are they rubbers between pieces of metal? And do you have to remove anything to fix the problem?

I'm not a mechanic but unless you have a vast knowledge of what you are doing I doubt you could do it. The dealership had to take clips off and re-order them because those clips aren't meant to come off.

In detail noise was coming from above the rocker panel, hidden behind the side steps, pinch welds were missing.

Apparently this is a robot issue, or in manufacturing its a step that was short and small and was missed.

Hope this helps.
