My clock rattle like hell.
But I finally find some find some way to stop it.
Just pull the clock up and put foam tape on any place the clock may contact the dash, especially the matel clip.
Now I can focus on the rattle from passenger side (Door or B-pillar or the seat belt, I can't even locate it ) Anyone have rattle from this area and know what makes it?

When you take the car into the dealer with rattles do they honestly try their best to fix it or do they just blow you off? I got one in my drivers side door and the rear deck. My ride is stillunder warranty as well.

Thought and opinions?

I'm going to have to take apart the console and glove box to figure out my rattles.

i only hear them when i'm with the lady and the music is off or at a low volume. otherwise when it's just me and/or the homies, it's livin loud. i think the wind noise bothers me more than the rattles (except the rear deck rattle, that should just be cursed to hell)

Does anyone else have a front windsheild rattle? It happens on colder days, its like a creaking sound whenever I hit small bumps or drive on rough roads.

I managed to tighten the nuts and bolts around the latch and mounts and it helps but I also sprayed a litttle white lithium grease on the pieces where they may be rubbing together and that seems to work the best.

I had the same problem on an 02 Max Se. I purchased some auto insulation strips 1/4 " thick and place them near and aroung the hood latch and where the rubber molding from the hood rubbed against the car frame. For three bucks the sound disappeared.

I noticed that one a few weeks ago when the temps were between 5 and 10 below here. It was quite annoying, but I'm not going to worry about that one since it doesn't get that cold very frequently here.
