Driver's side floor vibration from wind?

[jmeier216]

I love my EB Maverick but multiple dealerships can't seem to figure out slight floor vibration. It's only one spot at left side near seat foundation driver side. Most noticeable on windy days above 55mph on highway. I even noticed it at car wash air dryer blower. Anyone else experience this?

I wonder if a leaf blower motor might be strong enough to make it happen? If so, you could have your spouse hold the leaf blower while you find and mark the offending spot. Dunno what the fix would be though. Depends if the part stays in place or is removed for oil changes. Maybe as simple as a dollop of silicone to dampen the resonant frequency? Maybe a piece of duct tape to stop flutter? Maybe just a loose or missing screw?

Just had 50mph winds here and it definitely is the culprit. Thanks for the feedback!

I dont have this issue with my '23 Mav but I was out of town recently and rented a Bronco Sport and it had a terribly annoying vibration from the drivers floorboard when I was on the freeway. I poked my head underneath and the underbody panel was loose (broken clips or something). So, that's likely the culprit, or at least something to check

It’s the fuzzy cardboard ‘skid plate’ that rattles in the wind.

Agree. Mine rattles at certain speeds, wind conditions. Perhaps a piece of foam rubber could alleviate it .
