Cool I'm gonna do this right now, I'm gonna try turning the wheel all the way to the right before I go though the trouble of removing the wheel first though

I ended up actually having to take the wheel off, took me about half an house all together but I got it out and the sounds gone thanks a bunch

Glad to be able to help.

how do you remove the clip? cuz im 100% sure thats causing one of my rattles.

 

[BlackCherry]

You squeeze it horizontally, the squish the clips down you can pull them back up later if you want. I just stuck a pair of pliers in the wheel well for that

I will when I get the time. FYI - drove my car this morning while it was still "cold" (this is SW FL) and that rattle was gone! It's the quietest my car has been in years.

If you stand on the outside of your car and open the front passenger door, look between where the door and the front quarter panel (right front fender) meet. You'll see a piece of black plastic that runs along the edge of the panel (fender). This is some type of guard that keeps leaves and other stuff from falling into the fender area and being trapped there. Mine was full of leaves anyway. There were some pieces of foam tape on that plastic piece that had disintegrated. It looked like more of a pain to try to put tape/glue/foam in there because of the tight space (the gap between the door and fender). So I jacked the car up, took off the right front wheel and removed the wheel well liner (you don't have to pull the whole liner, just enough to give you access). This gives you access to the back side of that black plastic guard where it attaches to the panel (fender) itself. It's attached by two plastic "clips". The clips are flared so that they push into the hole in the fender but can't be pulled out. You have reach in there and squeeze those clips and push them back out. Once you have the clips released you simply pull that plastic out. Took me about an hour to do because I was a little unsure of what to expect.

Dude, is thats the spot in my car that is rattling I will send you 20 bucks!


Edit: Thanks a ton for posting this! That was one of my rattles but appearntly I have more then one in that area. I tested this one out by having a friend rev the car between 2-3k and you could see and hear this thing rattle against the fender.
