    Re: fixing my rattle?

    there are so many damn rattles on these cars you will never get them all. but take little bits of dynamat or similar and start sticking it on untill the rattleing stops.





    or turn the bass down :P

    dont turn the bass up so much

    mine does it too, i think its the lens on it, but there is also a metal emergency hand crank for the sun roof that clips on to the assembly, check to see if thats loose.

    Re: fixing my rattle?

    what do u guys use for the seats & seatbelts.

    To solve the squeaking there i put in folded pieces of a4 paper for now...

    Mega tightened the glovebox bolts, no rattles at all.

    What i thought was my clutch squeaking, i actually realized it was a squeaking or worn out lumbar support in the drivers seat. A certain (bit uncomfortable setting gets rid of it).

    That's all thats left.

    sorry for the bump,

    i have had this exact issue sense i bought the car. no other rattles come close to this one. its under the vented area that borders the front of the moon roof. sometimes when im not shifting like on a straight road ill just hold it down with my right hand while i drive. i'm thinking about openning it up to check it out but i dont want to f anything up.

    Re: fixing my rattle?

    if its the switch just pop it out and foam tape everything on the back. the sunroof is another story. have to take the headliner out to get a look at it.
