chillaxin, the rattles are a huge pain... but any dealer will fix the rattle as long as you havent done any suspension changes for them to blame the rattles on

if its completly shut its ok, picture its like going over the rail road tracks and not the smooth ones either. im sure packing it with grease like an inmate does with k.y. will work for a couple months

I had the radio cover rattle, Took a little bit of effort, but searching here and trying some of the stuff suggested to solve the problem worked for me.

Anyone who doesn't buy a car because of a rattle should re-evaluate their decision.

Hey guys, i believe all you guys own 07 tc? anyways, the radio rattle is nothing, that is because all tc come without a radio installed its installed by the dealer. Most dealers don't really know how to perfectly intall a radio into the panel, without the radio in it when the car arrived it is rattle free! But american labor effort is poor, i suggest you to go back to the dealer and have that reinstalled or replaced the door panel. And for the sunroof, it rattles because if you were to tilt up the sunroof and half way open you will see 4 torx screws on each side. They are loose as hell!! go get a torx 6 screw i believe and turn it tight, but don't go crazy on it, go about like 20lbs on it. To much with break it, and your screw will never be tight. I am a first generation tc owner since july 2004, i been through it all, i had to stick with the sunroof rattle for almost 2 years, but 3 months ago when i tighthen those screws i drove my car around for no reason, just the feel of it not rattle makes me sleep better at night. HOpe this helps, leave me some feedback. kev
