Okay guys, this isnt a thread for you to come on here and say "quit bitching about rattles live with it"

I just want to know if anybody has experienced this rattle, and if so, have you fixed it, and if you have, how have you done so.

Basically i have a rattle or more of a rat ta ta tat from the passenger rear interior panel (at least thats what it sounds like). It only happens when i go over the Botts' Dots that are commonly found on California highways. It only happens when i am changing lanes from left to right and i cross over the Botts Dots with my passenger side wheels first. It does not happen vice versa so i am confident the rattle is coming from there.

Would it be the pillar panel?

Says its only for the '03s, but i have an '05.
Thanks for any input!

 

i have same exact rattle but its on my rear left side. i just put the volume to 20 and pretend i dont hear it. or else i'll just kill myself.

 

Take it to the dealer, they can fix it. I had rattles and the dealer took care of them. They told me they used some sort of foam, it worked really well.

 

Yeah, probably that trim panel near the rear window. There is that TSB and another about the rear deck tray rattle, but that is more from the stereo making it rattle. I had the rear deck rattle taken care of on my 04, my 05 doesn't seem to rattle at all. Except every now and then from the sunglass holder. I just open and close it and the rattle stops.

 

I have the same rattle from the rear passenger side panel. It gets pretty loud now that my tires are worn. I may try to pull it off and put foam around it. I'm also getting some kind of a squeak. I just started hearing it a couple of days ago and it's extremely intermittent. May be the center console. Geez, lexus here I come.

 

I had a rattle from the passenger side door panel, about where the map pocket is. I first tried the some foam padding. around the area where the wiring harness is. it help some, but when i turned on the radio it would rattle/buzz still. i determined it is the white/black clips, the clips are really loose in the pannel slots. I used some rope chaulk, kinda like silly putty/playdoh. rolled a pea size piece and stuck it in the the slot and then slide the clip in until it locked, then but the panel back on the door. No rattles/buzz!! And it only costs $2 a roll.

 

+1 that is why im adding a 4k sound system otherwise my ears will bleed from the rattle sound.

 

I've got the same rattle! Tucson roads are rough so I hear it often. Also have the dash cluster rattle. Good times.

 

got the sound to but it doesnt really bother me....

 

ROFLMAOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Car's going in to the dealer on Monday for rattles, I have three distinct terrible ones. Dash cluster, rear side panel and now a front passenger area that sounds like it's in the glove box. Opening it you can hear it back there somewhere. Atrocious, simply unnerving. Also have a sputtering/squeaking sound in the front end somewhere. I love this car, I just wish it was made better.

 

Maaan I got this rattlng noise in my interior too!!! WTF!! G35 are nice loking rides, but they sure got annoying little problems in the interiors. I first had that annoying cracking noise on my clutch peddle everytime I put it in gear, but I finally fixed that problem (go underneath where clutch pedal is at, press on the clutch pedal all the way down, and rotate the spring that controls the pedal) N e ways, I have this heeeeecka annoying cacking noise in the rear of my interior...probably close to the rear window. I tried to pad some areas myself but nooooooooo its still there!!! Anyone know what the problem might be?? I gatta take it to the dealer most likely :P

 

When I took apart my whole rear interior to install my system I dynamatted a lot of places, but I still had rattles. I discovered that the rattles were originating from my seat belt housing right behind the rear side window. (where the seat belt retracts and rolls up into) I ended up totally removing the seat belts, since I never have anyone in the back seat. End of noises.

 

i think Dave B made a thread about how to eliminate most rattles
