    On my 2021 I developed an annoying light crackling sound. Even if I put my knee by the silver trim on the door panel the noise would start. If you push on you door panel trim by the silver decorative piece and it makes noises the solution is as follows: Remove switch assembly that houses the window and door lock button. Very simple just pops out. Then remove the screws to separate the housing from the switch. It will not come all the way apart, no worries, take single sided sticky felt and line the housing. The noise is created when the switch and switch housing vibrate relative to each other. It's been two weeks and zero noise. I have no idea why the passenger side hasn't started yet......

    Eliminating the driver's side door panel seems extreme

    This thread is as disappointing as those that tease "a big rack."
