    rattling from rear deck

    if you could, provide me with a walkthrough on how you removed the deck lid. It looks like a jig saw puzzle back there and I'm not sure if I will have to remove my side curtion air bags panel to have the room to get it out.

    Front end noise ?

    I thought I hear the same thing the other day. I was pulling into a parking spot (left turn) and just before the vechicle came to a stop I heard a noise from the front end. I'm not sure but it almost sounded like a snapping noise.
