    Rattle coming from overhead lights

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Has anyone else had this problem. I like the premium audio in my car, but ive noticed there is a rattle that comes form the plastic piece around the lights and the sunroof control. Has anyone else noticed this, and has anyone done anything to fix it? I'm the type of person that as soon as I detect the slightest rattle it drives me crazy.

    I have the same problem. Took it in and the retards said they couldn't reproduce it... I could, as I was leaving the dealer's parking lot. I goes away for a while if I push really hard on the the overhead lights and surrounding area.

    It's a minor irritation that I can overlook given all of the other good things about the car.

    I have the same problem. Does anyone have a DIY guide on how to take that part of the car apart so we can somehow address the rattle?

    Unfortunately, when you have subs in the trunk like I do, it no longer becomes a "minor irritation"... I have been putting this off for way too long and I really want to find a solution to this problem because that incessant rattling drives me nuts if I turn the volume any higher than 12...
