Something is rolling around around the driver side area of the car. I first thought it was something inside the door panel. I took it apart but found nothing out of the ordinary.

Right now I just finished taking off the side skirt, seat, and carpets trying to find what ever it is rolling around when I accelerate or break. I cant find a thing.

Im gonna drive it around a bit without the side skirt and the rubber stoppers underneath the frame in hops that what ever it is will fall through those damn holes and ill be rid of it.

Can anyone think of anything else I can do to track this down?

 

Xray glasses should do the trick. good luck, I think I'd go insane.

uhh did u check if u have anything under the seat?

 

I'm guessing if he pulled the carpet he checked the under the seat, but maybe somthing between the seat and center console?

 

I have noticed that with the acoustics of the tC, noises seem to come from all over. I kept hearing a tapping noise coming from the roof one night and discovered it was actuall someting rattling in the cup holder Make sure you look in all of the easy spots to look in the entire interior before you take too much apart. One thing that makes it easier to hear where the noises are coming from is to close the sunroof visors... the glass top seems to make the noises echo all over

 

Just thought I would post an update...

I finially found it! I found what looks like a small steel end cap in the inside frame rail. I was able to get a long thin piece of plastic strip and was able to push it out of one of the vent holes.

Im so releived......
