The Rattles Reference Thread

At 90k-miles-plus the only rattle in mine is from the door lock rod button itself. Locking the doors makes it go away. I intend to get some self-adhesive felt from a craft store, unscrew the button, and wrap the bottom of it. Should not be a bid deal but for some noises behind you you can't seem to find, try locking the doors and see if it helps.

Yes. Not actually the console/light, it’s coming from the convertible top-side of the assembly. Like the hard plastic cover that’s on the convertible top itself is loose on the right half. If I put pressure on it the rattle doesn’t occur.
