What’s the most annoying rattle you’ve found (and fix?)
#61
I’ve gone inn3 times to fix it. I’ve isolated mine to a crew by the instrument cluster on the left side. Too tight, get the plastic rattle. Too loose, not fully holding that hard plastic of the panel. Trying to stuff something between those plastics to stop it. And yes only happens at certain flex speeds. Half the time, till I can go back in to fix it, I squeeze the left hard side of the instrument panel and it stops for a bit.

my most annoying rattle-like thing
This ball bearing/marble was interesting to see.
For about two weeks, whenever we accelerated or braked, we could hear something, literally, rolling around in the roof on the driver's side. After some creative accelerating and breaking, it sounded like I got it to roll over my head and into the driver's said front pillar, where I suspect whatever it is silently jammed. That was 4 months ago, I put it in the back of my mind and left it there until I saw this post:

Rattle from the passenger rear seat. The seat bottom was loose caused by a semi-stripped and crooked screw that wasn’t fully tightened. Appears to have happened during sloppy assembly. Tapped out the captured nut (8mm x 1.25), and replaced the screw. Now all is quiet (at least in that area).

Ive now cleaned all the rubber seals and applied shin-etsu grease. Pretty amazing stuff, and makes the seals feel amazingly smooth and soft. I notice the level of sealing has improved as I now have positive pressure when closing the drivers door, however the rattle remains so back to the drawing board!

I've had an annoying rattle coming from my driver's door bass speaker ever since I took delivery. My dealer tried to fix it numerous times but nothing worked. I took it to another dealer where they replaced the speaker, but it still didn't work. Applying pressure to the speaker grille stops the rattle. At this point I should just dynamat the doors.
