I have the sunroof area, dash/glovebox area, stearing wheel area and also a weird one when i have my window down about 15% its a weird sound when going over bumps or something? I plan on taking it to the dealer sometime soon to get this sh*t fixed! Im soooo tired of these things its unbelievable! I love this car to death but its really making me think about getting something else?

I have a 12" sub. There's so many rattles, I can't even begin to pinpoint them. My drivers side mirror is loose and buzzes. My PASSENGER SIDE TAILLIGHT BUZZES. Something under the trunk is rattling like a piece of paper and I can't see anything. My driver side door panel buzzes insanely bad at certain frequencies. Somewhere in the glove box area rattles when I give it the gas. My entire trunk panel buzzes and rattles like a Geo Metro when the bass hits.

Only problem I have with the car, asides from being only "peppy". I want a turbo!

its the side panels on your door and rear seats... the upper part of the rear side panels rub on the metal and the side doors is from all around the door handle....

use dynamat (cheaper ones) and sound deadner sprays, dynamat all metal parts and spray the deadners on plastic... it works great!

I've taken the damn mirror off, looked for anything to tighten, put it back on tight. Still rattled.

the passenger seat belt rattle...

I had the same problem...until i noticed that the release lever on the seat side next to the door will actually rub the seatbelt IF 1) the seat is slid all the way back with no passenger) and 2) the seatback is reclined to allow the release lever near the seat belt latch.

FIX: Don't leave the seat all the way back if no one's riding with you (or change the recline angle of the seat back to clear the seat belt latch.

thought I would vent too...

my front pasenger side speaker buzzes now...sounds horrible.

This is kinda ridiculous since I never turn the volume greater than 15 (and the radio goes much higher than that).

Guess I'll bring that up at the next service...getting really tired on rattles though.
