So the other day I heard a new rattle in addition to my always there hatchback rattle that the dealer says they can't fix. I looked back, and I saw this:



Not the most disasterous thing in the world I know, and I was able to push it back in and it snapped in, but still.

 

most likely the dealer caused this (in a hurry to put your interior back together)-when you dropped it off for rattling in the first place!

 

According to the dealer they test drove it and couldn't duplicate the rattle so they didn't do anything else. Who knows if that's true, but it's what I was told. And it's been a month since then too.

 

This same thing happened to me on both sides of the car. But I know how mine was caused. I stuffed some luggage in the back, and lifted the black fabric hatch cover over the back seat to accomdate the luggage. When I slammed the hatch shut the plastic ***** on the fabric cover jammed into that pillar and disconnected it. I snapped it back pretty easy. I didn't have a rattle before that and dont have one now.

 

Isn't that a crack nearer to the back quarter window? Is this usually a single piece of plastic or two?

 

when i got home fom the dealership after buying mine, i got in the back seat to check out the reclining and mine was unsnapped too, i snapped it back into place and havn't had any niose from it since.

 

so, what are you griping about? I mean, if this problem happens alot, just get it fixed. but since most everyone has said it isn't a reoccuring problem, then i'd say stop worrying about it and get some sleep.

 

so how did you reinstall it? which part did you hit/push up on?

 

there were MANY areas in my tc that had HUGE gaps between, but all you do is pop it back in. it wasnt just inside the car, there was huge noticeble gap between the corner of my door. looks like this car is very very cheap

 

One time I started hearing a really bad rattle - I thought it was the hatch thing everyone was talking about and when i opened the trunk, one of the hard plastic pieces right next to the window was totally unsnapped. Popped it back in and been trouble free since.

 

If you look in the picture you can see a white tooth kind of thing.. I'm trying to think of how to explain it. It's one of those conical white pieces that once you push through a whole it expands so it can't fall back out again. I just pushed it back in
