Question Front License Plate vibration?

Hello,

i was wondering if anyone has had any vibration coming from their front license plate while driving at freeway speeds 70+? Its not the hood as i have had that happen before and adjusted the lil spacers on each side of the hood.

I am at a loss as to what could be causing the rattle/vibration, the license plate is the only thing i could think of. the biggest problem of getting this to stop is it doesn't happen every time, it happens maybe 75% of the time.

So before i have to leave it at the dealership for the entire day i'd like to see if anyone has had this problem.

Thanks for any suggestions!

most people have vibrations on the front, but the source is unknown

people have speculated either the windshield itself or the plastic upper cowl (where the wipers sit). it could be the liense plate though, if it is that should be an easy fix. you could try driving without the plate in the front (put it on ur dash) and test to see if the vibration goes away or not

I've also heard of it being the rubber molding at the top of the windshield. Can try putting a piece of tape along it and see if it goes away. Sounds like yours is from down low though so I'd try Justin's idea first.

so it turns out it was the rubber molding at the top of the windshield. Is there a way to seal it? Or should i just take it in to the dealer so they could address it?

Thanks!
