It if bothers you that much ,There is a solution which is to replace the door stops ($45 I think) and takes a bit of time since you have to remove the door panel and speakers.
Fortunately I haven't had much issues with rattles even at 125k, and my car was previously in a minor front and rear -end accidents (both bumpers are not completely lined up).
Where do people hear most of the rattling??

What I hate about my 2003.0 sedan: Tiny brakes; the auto transmission only being 5 speeds and shifting slower than a turtle, awful city gas mileage, rattles, and the trunk lid being the "doggy door" style.
What I love: Emerald mist is an awesome color; reliability and servicing costs, working at an Infiniti dealer and having labour performed at $40/HR and parts for cost plus 10% to boot, good power, quite comfortable after coming from a slammed car.
All in all, I think it's a good car. I may be over-exaggerating some of the problems but I think it would be a completely different car with bigger brakes, a 6 speed manual gearbox and stiffer suspension. I know that could be said about almost any car but the FM platform cars are quite good in most other aspects.

I can't remember if it was this site or the nico site, i swear i saw a posting about a carbon fiber sunroof delete. IMO sounds fantastic on any color G...I have done lots of sheet metal fab work in the past, you could delete it yourself if you had the right sheet metal, access to a good mig welder and appropriate metal working tools ie side grinder, pneumatic sander etc you could do your own delete in the garage. And i almost forgot, someone with master welding skills. But if you can weld good enough to lay down some good beads that penetrate like they are supposed too, even if they look like do-do your gonna smooth the welds out anyways to paint. Just my thoughts.

A newer G with a manual tranny would solve that. But its still a nice car regardless, just a bit on the older side now.

I know, I know. It shows how great of cars they are! Really not much to complain about. Flushed the gear oil today and it really made a big difference in shift speed & smoothness. Going under the knife one last time while I am employed at the Infiniti dealer still. Valve cover gaskets on both banks, oil cooler o-ring, plugs and diff oil. Really going to miss that cost +10% discount on parts and $40 an hour labor for Infiniti certified techs doing the work.

Since the summer heat is here, the clutch pedal sticking (only returning back halfway) issue is back. I Did the usual clutch fluid flush and no bueno. The clutch pedal sticks anytime the temp is above 80F, which is basically everyday from 9am-7pm.
I can try one of 2 things: go with a Stainless steel clutch line for $35, and/or replace the clutch pedal assembly for $250 with an aftermarket kit from RJM.
Has anyone attempted to change the clutch pedal assembly to fix the issue? Or is going with a SS clutch line fix the issue?
