Default New Owner - Pop-up Vent Clunk and other issues

Hello, Proud owner of my first Jag, 2015 F-Type V6S, most fun, classy and powerful car I've ever owned, an early childhood dream materialized.

But I've noticed a few issues that I need to address before the warranty is up in August 2018.

1. AC Vent clunks going over road imperfections (deployed or not) but it is more noticeable when it's closed.
2. "table saw" sound at high rpm.
3. Window trim lifting by the door jam.

Are any of these known issues? and covered under warranty?

Thanks

All of that should be covered under warranty if the warranty has not expired yet.

Are these known issues addressed by Bulletins?

The exterior window trim lifting is unfortunately common.

Taking the car to the dealership tomorrow for the first time: oil change and warranty inquiry on below issues, any feedback appreciated? I want to have an informed dialogue with the Tech.

1. AC Vent clunks going over road imperfections (deployed or not) but it is more noticeable when it's retracted.
2. "table saw like" vibration sound at high rpm.

I doubt they will have trouble replicating either. The vent assembly can probably be tightened up after removing the console finisher trim.

The table saw noise...who knows. There are some reports of an A/C line under the hood causing high pitched resonance where it's fastened to the body. People have removed that fastener to allow the line some play and the high pitched sound goes away. Then again it could be something completely different. Or even normal. Are you sure it's not just the super charger?

The A/C line sounds more plausible. Where's the fastener located? I may attempt to fix it myself.

Not sure myself. Someone else might be able to help you out with a photo.
