Polestar 2 Front Seat Removal, Carpet, and Sound Deadening

Let me know if you would like more Polestar 2 content!

2:38 Thank you for showing this. I was concerned about just pulling at it, but after seeing this I gave it a try and it just popped right off :)

My polestar 2 sounds like there's a bass drum in the back anytime I go over road bumps. Do you experience anything like this? I'm contemplating sound deadening around the rear shock towers but have no idea if that'll help with anything.

I'm always a fan of Polestar 2 content! I am considering purchasing used polestar leather seats and replacing the weavetech seats. Probably not immediately but something I'm thinking about depending on how this summer goes. I know this was specifically regarding sound deadening, but curious if you had any thoughts on seat replacement altogether

[@nickdoyle1221]

Physically, I can’t anticipate a major problem there. The main thing is the door trim and armrest won’t match if that’s a big deal. I assume the heated seats will still work but the ventilated seats won’t since the weavetech didn’t have that option programmed in, meaning really no way to activate them. The mounting bracket is the same, so feasibly they could be installed. Let me know if you decide to do it and how it goes!

Could you do a video taking apart the glovebox?

[@Nick-dd7ps]

I do have a video that shows the glovebox kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJitemulid6ga8kfeature=shared Was there a particular part you were curious about? It is mostly just the container, divider, and trim piece on the side.

Has it made much difference?

[@Nick-dd7ps]

I have noticed a difference, nothing will make it Rolls Royce quiet, but I tend to be very particular and notice the changes. I was curious about this exact question and did a bit of a test. Once the damping was installed, I also wanted to do a MLV (Mass Loaded Vinyl) application to block noise. I did the entire driver's side floor, front and back, and went for a drive. I did perceive that noise was then most obvious coming from the passenger side where there was no MLV applied. With a noise-blocker, it is important that there's as close to complete coverage as possible so I did the entire floor and do notice less vibration and droning sounds emanating from it since. It's a lot of work and may not be worth it depending on how long you plan to keep the car but for me, I appreciate the improvement.

Still wonder how easily an XC40 centre console would fit… Get a usable console.

[@Nick-dd7ps]

Would be interesting. There are quite a few design and engineering choices that are head scratchers like that. Gotta love Polestar
