Tesla Brakes squealing? Here's the fix! How to get rocks from dust cover

The model 3 has a brake disc cover that surronds the cars inner disc of the brake (rotor) and sometimes rocks get lodged inside. Here's a fast fix. Use caution as the brakes may be hot.(see more below)

The debris gets embedded directly between the rotor and the heat shield making an unbearable noise. When it first happened to me I thought my car was done for :)
Thanks for watching and see you again soon!

    Holy crap, I just had this happen on my 2 week old Tesla and thought for sure something was messed up or broken. After going back and forth and turning the wheel it stopped and my wife said she saw a rock fall out - but to actually see this and hear that noise on your video makes me feel a whole lot better about it. Thanks for recording this!

    So happy to find your video! This happened to me and my husband and we thought something drastically wrong had happened! Couldn't figure it out until we watched your video. After several quarter-turns of the wheel, we finally got a very small pebble to drop out and then all was well.... Thank you!

    Thanks for this! You saved me from waiting over a month for a service appointment in Dallas. My rear wheel (or I thought axle) was screeching so loud on my 2021 model 3! Followed what you said and got some little asphalt debris out in a only a couple minutes. Thanks again!

    Mark, you saved my bacon today, I haven't had a service issue in 3 years but got the dreaded metal on metal squeal today and thought my luck had run out. It took a while to work the stone loose but it dropped just like in your video. Thanks for posting and making my day much better.

Then I watched your video, and knew the reason. Now I'm confident to drive my Tesla again. Thanks for the helpful video.

    You’re a life-saver! Actually had a slightly larger stone stuck in my Model S that wouldn’t dislodge with just this method. So I ran a zip tie between the disc and cover to surround the rock while I torqued the disc cover, then it came right out!

    Mark is a life saver, my brand new tesla with less than 1000 miles started having this issue and i was super concerned. Luckily, I was able to dislodge 1 small pebble from the edge of the rotor which was making the loudest screeching noise.

    Dude! I had this problem. My fix, take off tire, spray with garden hose, go into roll mode, role backwards a.k.a. "drive" backwards 200M. Done. I like your fix better! Will try next time... Then the way they get in, the rocks.... ...in my case, TM3 LR w/ Perf Boost, I went from 0 to 50 KMH very fast while turning. I am going to guess that the gap may open in this case, rock was in rear right wheel assembly....

    I don’t like the scratches that the aero wheel covers cut into our beautiful alloy wheels. It must be the bare metal clips that Tesla uses? I wish that they were plastic coated, but then they might not hold on as well.

    Was hoping this was the issue with my wife’s model 3. It squeaks every time when braking at low speeds particularly when backing out of garage or parking space. The car is garaged daily so not sure what’s causing it. It’s quite embarrassing as people always notice the noise. My model 3 has never squeaked. Anyone know what may be causing this?

    I never had such an issue until I bought a Model Y. I have a 2-min "offroad" drive on a daily basis from home. Small rocks are getting stuck in there almost every single day. This is obviously a bad design from Tesla. I will report this and if anything gets damaged during waranty, I will blame it all on Tesla.
