I GOT AN 04 5AT WITH MINOR MODS(Z-TUBE,KN,GRUPPE-S Y-PIPE,NISMO RAD CAP,AND SOON A GROUNDING KIT.THE CAR HAS BEEN AWESOME MECHANICALLY FOR ALMOST 11000 MILES EVEN WITH AN ACCIDENT .I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF ANYONE HERE HAS HAD A RATTLE PROBLEM ESPECIALLY IN REAR OR SUNROOF PASSENGER SIDE , REAR PARCEL TSB SUPPOSEDLY DONE BY DEALER .IT OCCURS OVER BUMPY BROKEN ROADS AT SPEED.THE CAR SEEMS TO CREAK BAD IN THE MORNING WHEN THERE CHASSIS FLEX AND HUMIDITY IN SUNROOF AND REAR.JUST WANT TO KNOW IF ANYDODY HAD THESE PROBLEMS WITH THEIR COUPE AND WHAT THEY DID ABOUT IT BEFORE I BRING IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN

 

i am giving up on those noises now. i hear so many different squeaks on very bumpy roads... *sigh* just gotta turn the music up real loud~

 

04 Coupe 6mt:

Creaking sunroof....see TSB for temporary fix (lasts 4 months)
Rattle around the glove box area. Maybe the metal glove box door latch/hinge? Maybe not...?
Rattle around the front dash area...front windshield/front dash.
Passenger seatbelt rattle. Lean seat back to pin seatbelt, or use seatbelt cover.
Passenger seat sometimes rattles too.
Driver side seatbelt strap rubs against seat (behind left shoulder) and creaks.

I've heard of some people taking their car in to fix these rattles, but from what I understand, they need to rip out the interior panels and stuff stuffing around in there, and then put the inside back together....no thanks...I don't want some rent-a-mechanic ripping panels off my car. I've heard in many cases it doesn't fix the problem and/or creates new rattles.

To fix the rattle/creaking/squeaking in the G:
1. Open the sunroof -- this fixes the sunroof creak.
2. Turn the music up.
3. Push foot to floor. Engine noise above 4500 RPM helps quiet rattles and puts silly grin on your face.
4. Just ignore them. This takes some training, but it can be done. ....see #3.

OK.

napoleon your right about some of these schmucks ripping our inside panels apart cause half the time they create more rattles but they know all the TSBs -will only deal with the service manager from now on.I do all of the above except when its cold or i need ac HOT SUMMER!.The roof is closed and the windows up -- KILLING ME.EMBARRASSING WHEN YOU TAKE OTHER PEOPLE WITH AND THEY HEAR THESE NOISES ALSO.ACTUALLY THE FASTER I GO OVER THE BUMPS THE WORSE THE NOISES ARE SUX BUT DOESNT BOTHER ME TOO MUCH THE RIDE IS WORTH IT FOR ME

 

i never hear any rattles or creaks .. i also have the music up all the time

 

I've just realized that its kinda like a crapshoot with these cars and rattles.

Some people get none, some people get a lot. I have *some*. I guess thats just how it worked out.

 

get some loud exhaust... hehehe..
