So I finally pinned down a VERY noisey rattle today. Anybody else ever had one in this same area?

Pass side, rear seat wall... kinda above where the cup holder is. It must be between the metal and interior. You can pound on the outside of the window to make it happen, pound above the cup holder on the inside, or pound just below the window on the inside. Anything triggers it.

Stop pounding your car.


Giggity.

 

Yeah, pounding is too harsh. Lightly tapped with my fist. Really.

Its a horrible rattle. Nearly anything sets it off. Paint stripes, etc.

 

It's easy to just take the panel off and throw some foam in there. Just pull up the rear seat bottom and then you can pull the clips out for the panel and pull it out enough to put something in there.

best i could think of is maybe a pin broke loose. if nothing else, take off the panels and figure it out

 

i only get a noise there when playing a song with alot of bass, never pin pointed it, but i figured it was in that area.

 

heh...maybe a screw on ur speakers fell off in there...

 

Well, since there are only 13k miles, I might let the dealer do it. But if I get ambitious I'll just do it myself. Who knows.

I find it interesting that this isn't a common location for rattles.
