Rattles

I have been reading a lot about rattles in the G35 interior, I have had mine or 15k miles now and have not exprienced any rattle at all. In fact, the car has been flawless since I bought it. Just curious to know how many have experienced this

yes

behind my washi door trim, when certain tones are hitting the speakers. I have been thinking of injecting RTV behind them right where the seat memory buttons are since that seams to be the weak point and have not found a method to remove (just the washi not the whole door panel) and put something better back there.

Every time I think I have a rattle, it turns out to be change, sunglases in holder, or something I put in the door pocket. Nothing I can blame on the car yet. I have 25K miles.

No rattles but my car makes really cheap sounding crack noises from either or both the Infiniti controller and the washi in the center console.
The worse part is when the car is perfectly still and out of the blue you hear a loud crack sound.

I get a random rattle from that glasses compartment on top, as well as some from teh passenger side seat belt. When someone is sitting there that seat belt rattle is gone. The glasses compartment rattles while idle from time to time. I've also experienced the rattle from the doors from the speakers being too loud.

I get a rattle from the movable part of the column too, I'll ask the dealer about it next time I'm in in like 400 miles.

I get rattles from the sunroof, and I hear a funny noise, while driving, on the front driver's side tire. Took it to the dealer and they pretended they didn't hear it.

I seem to be experiencing this issue.

It seems to be either the the steering column because it moves or somewhere in the dash. When the car hits bumps where the chassis flexes a bit I get this creak.

Not sure if it has anything to do with cold temps, but that is my guess.

Rattles? No
But I have more wind noise that I wish to, and certainly more than a 40K car should offer.
Thankfully, the FI Exhaust helps to hide the wind.

I live in FL where it's hot and I get this rattle, so I think it's a creak.

A bit OT:

I have an '03 coupe with over 90k miles and no rattles!

Sometimes my rearview mirror will creak a bit, but all I have to do is readjust it and wala ... problem solved.

I have the steering wheel gauge rattle (if I push down on top of the steering column it stops), rear deck rattle and the same crack, pop noise that ppl are complaining about on the center stack which is caused by Nissan's poor engineering. They used metal and it tends to expand and contract due to the fluctuating cabin temps.

I was not expecting this, it seems a lot of people out there are really struggling with the rattles. Maybe this can be a basis for a class lawsuit
