Cool, good to know. Glad I was able to find a video of it because every time I tried to take one, couldn’t get it clear. Appreciate it!

This video, at 17:34-17:36 captures the noise perfectly as this reviewer is driving.

Thanks for the update. Maybe just needs to fully break in and seat. I’ll probably swing by the dealer this week and see if they have another one on the lot to try out.
