Any fixes for rattling ???
I bought a 2003 G35 coupe with all the bells and whistles and the car is rattling from the middle console (dashboard behind the clock area), passenger side door seems to have some rattling as well and the Bose speakers seem to rattle in the back (trunk area) when the stereo is turned up.
Anyone know any sites or fixes that other G35 owners have gone through to fix rattling?
I know it is a common thing on the G35 but it is driving me absolutely insane. A car with 38000km should not rattle, my other car is a '91 Celica GTS with 230000km and it has no rattling.

I listen to music 95% of the time anyhow, so I can live with the rattles. I love my G!

I was wondering if there was a quick fix since the rattle seems to be from behind the clock, so I assume I have to read on how to take the clock and computer assembly out and see what is vibrating.

Taking the assembly out isn't too difficult. Other members have tried to find the source of the rattle, and from what I've read no one has been able to fix it.

I spent 6 hours last night washing, waxing and conditioning the car and she had a fit... excuse was she was feeling bad (which she was) and i wasn't there.
I almost feel like I'm cheating...

Found a main rattle in the rear view mirror; at first I thought it was the clock because it was coming from the same direction but its the mirror.
It is cheaply put together, hence the rattling.
I haven't taken it apart but a rubber band or my wife's hair strap works well for now but looks tacky.

I too have the rattle. what about taking the center dash out, driving the car and trying to hear the rattle. I figure if I do that and the rattle is gone it's definitely somewhere in that console. After that maybe shake the fker until i can find out where from the console... I really think its the clock, it never rattled until the other week when i had to change the clock to the new time. freaking weird
