rattle - rear left seat/area?
anybody have this same rattle? i'm not going to the dealer for another 1k miles but i thought i would just ask here. everytime i'm at a stop, and i start pulling off (05 6mt), the rear left seat/area starts rattling. even going 40mph, i go over a little bump or turn really fast, it rattles. it rattles even louder than my music and its usually at 15 where is this coming from? i tried moving my rear seat up and down but it still does it....i'm lost. can it be like the "structure" on my rear left roof? cause they had to change out the whole brace for my sunroof at 5k cause it fvcked up. any ideas would help. thanks.

I'm the victim of 2 separate rattles/creaking noises....one I fixed on my own from a TSB; the other is still yet to be fixed (going in next week or so to get fixed). The one I fixed was a creaking noise (sounds like metal on metal)....VERY annoying...it first would only occur when turning @ low speeds w/ an uneven road (due to the car flexing slightly torsionally). It turned out the cross member bracing behind the rear seats was loose! (I mean very loose...took me probably 4-6 full turns to tighten all the bolts snug). The second one (not fixed yet) is common & talked about on this forum...the left passenger door window seal (where the window sits into the rubber seal).
Is it either of those? I've also heard of people having noises coming from the B-pillar.

In fact, I just had a conversation w/the Infiniti rep this week about my car, and every single concern that I've complained about here he has acknowledged - it's all there.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad others here are not experiencing my issues - I wish I was one of them. But the fact remains that to me, purchasing this car was a mistake, and my $$$ will be well spent elswhere. But I'm also not alone here either.

No creaking of the windows, no snapping/crunching of the vents, no buzzing of the center console, ect, ect, ect - even at 34K mi. The interior of the G35 is just plain cheep. Even taking the issue of the interior out of the equation - I've never had an interior door handle pull away on any other car that I've owned, foreign or domestic; or seem so may discolorations in the plastic parts, or had brakes that squeak constantly, or a transmission that vibrates from up shifts from 1st to 2nd, or is as incredibly thirsty as this engine is. I've said this before, every single publication has stated the interior of this vehicle is cheep - every single one. So it's not just me, and there are a lot of others here who agree.
