Rattles

volnedan: You never had a car where the guage cluster moves up and down in a mortorized manner. I think that's the source of the problem. I find that I use the steering wheel as a "crutch" to get out of he car. That action may be disrupting the seals. I had my Dealer fix my slight rattle with the "dum dum" stuff. It's good now. Damn these Robots making the cars !!! Bring back the People to assemble the cars, so that they can "call in sick" on Mondays or Fridays. Kidding aside, keep after the dealer or Regional rep to get this resolved to your satisfaction. Did you have the rosewood or other applique installed? I wonder if that s affecting the interior parts. I have the OEM Washi - looks real good with the grey Leather.

my $0.02 (not that they matter) is that it's not the MSRP that mitigates whether a car will have rattles or not -- it's just poor design and fitment, the materials themselves may be just fine. The interfacing sux. And good thing I didn't pay $40k for my G!

But yeah, I'm starting to hear this rattle (actually, it's more of a bird chirp) whenever I close my door. It sounds like a screw is loose in there or something. I did have my windows tinted last year where they removed all the windows from the car and baked them. So I'm not sure if the "chirping" is a result from them or from the factory my baby was born in. =/

Does anyone have a moon roof rattle? What I thought was my rear deck flexing is actually my moon roof flexing when going around slow sharp turns in an underground parking garage. and sometimes when hitting bumps on the road.
I am able to replicate it if I push up on the moon roof when it is closed, it sounds like the rubber seals are rubbing.

I also had the imfamous cluster rattle which i fixed by stuffing a 2 small folded kleenex squares into the crevice between where the clear portion of the cluster meets the black piece below it, if you push down on the black area you can hear the cluster creak.

No special "applique" installed, just the OEM washi trim. This is a growing pain in my @ss that I may just have to deal with. Unfortunately.

Front left vent annoyingly continues to make creak noise, have taken it back to the dealer twice. They replaced the vent the first time, luckily under my warranty and second time performed an insullation of some sort. Within a couple days the creak comes back. Poor vent design.

Update on Rattle: Just had Dealer address and repair the winshield rattle up by the passenger side. they applied some new insulation, according to Service manager. Rattles seems to be gone....he was funny though: while driving with him there was a "rattle" overhead. He checks the sunglass holder and low and behold, the sunglasses were rattling in the holder. we both had a laugh about that !!
