rattlin' POS

[Kooldino]

Dammit, I'm really annoyed at my car sometimes. Sometimes when I drive it, it seems like crap all over the interior...especially the front 2 doors, rattle like a mofo...anyone else get these rattles all the time?

I got rattles all over the place..... from my ashtray with all my change( us canadians with loonies and toonies)... to my rear sway bar, to my rear deck lid.... my license plate... Turn up the tunes and it all goes away.....

CONSTANTLY...if its under 70 degrees F, it rattles like a mutha.
Its the most helpless feeling...I don't feel like going to the dealer to get them to fix it, because I know how hit and miss rattles can be, and anything I can do to keep them away from my car, I will do (thus, I don't trust them).
most of the noise comes from the front doors and dashboard.
I hate it...:mad:
My 12 yr old nissan didn't rattle this much...:mad:

The best thing to do...is look for screws in your car..and screw them...HAHAHAHAHA

BUT YOU GOT TO LOVE THAT CLUNKING AND SQUEAKING...one of these days I am going to rip off my steering wheel and the beat the living s*** out of my MP3...but it's a great car..

my ashtray rattles......so I open it, and then it don't rattle no more. When I get some time I'm going to screw it in better, maybe grease it as well.

I got a rattle in my drivers side door....but I don't know where in the door. Annoying as hell.

Other then that. Nothing else.....until the clunk comes back that is.

I love the car, it feels much tighter and better built then other things I've driven. Same goes for the P5 and ES. The LX however is a different story. It didn't seem so rigid and solid. Strange.

The rattles are just me being picky really. I find in a car like this I don't want it to make a sound. If it was a Neon....I wouldn't even notice the rattles because I wouldn't care.

the Dunlops don't help. They are noisy tires, and while extremely sticky ( which is good ), they do cause some vibrations which causes the rattles. I never had these rattles when I had my winters on.

my compartment under the radio rattles.

Yeah, mine is mostly my doors and front dash. My ashtray vibrates too, but I think i'm gonna coat the inside with felt to try to fix it. As for the doors, the vibration feels like it's things that connect to the locks...because if you hold the locks still with your fingers, the sounds goes away a lot.

I guess you can call me picky, but this just shouldn't be. I've never driven a car with this many little rattles and crap. I hate it. We should all try to find ways to fix the little problems, and shrare our solutions on here...
