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
At this time, there was a gigantic big gaping hole where the radio should be.

'07 tC... 500 mi... only ratt'ler in my car is from that little cover in the back that connects to the back seat headrests, and it's so slight i don't care. radio cover = quiet. hatchback door = quiet. i also do believe the better your dealer, the quieter the car. my dealer is awsome, and has been dy'in to install the sup'r charg'r.

1300 miles and not one rattle. I i am completely stock with stock speakers. I know once I install my springs, I will most likely start hearing the rattles.
My 01 acura CL-S was rattle free until I installed my springs.

I personally worked for a toyota dealer, if you test drove a tc without the radio in it and it rattles the dealer did something to that area, used it for show, test drive, show room, took it off for another car, i can name alot of things dealers do that you guys don't know. They are crooks, atleast ones that i know.

I work at a dealership and of course theres things that the customer isnt going to know about, but thats with every job. All in all the dealership I work at the people are fair and honest. Although this is not a Non-profit orginization like some people often believe. Everyone thinks they deserve a discount on everything at all times. Come in, negotiate a little bit, be assertive, and know what you want. Have a set limit of what to spend and have fun with the deal. Dont make it a hastle.

1100 miles on mine, no rattles anywhere. And believe me, with the system I put in, it's stress tested for rattles on a constant basis (yes I do drive with it down enough to hear rattles if there are any sometimes
