I have a new 2009 RDX, a month old.

I'm getting a small rattle from the passenger side when going over washboard type surfaces over 20mph.
It sounds like a plastic on plastic bump.
I've checked the spare and the seatbelts - nothing.
Took it in to the dealer and they adjusted the rear seat clamps...but it's still there.

Any suggestions,

Thanks

well..WHERE on the passenger side, help us help you.

 

Thank you.

Passenger side from the rear luggage compartment area.

I still notice it when the seats are down.

Could the speaker be loose?

I noticed, after reading the service bulletin, that the rear rattle backseat fix is on the driver side - could the same rattle problem happen on the passenger side? Would they have adjusted both clasps - passenger and driver side or only driver side?

 

I got the same rattle...does it sound like a knocking?

Put a very bass heavy track on, turn it up, and turn the sub up...can you replicate the rattle? I did - and it was where the metal track bracket/piece joins the side of the car, id push in on the metal track and it would silence the rattle from the lose plastic

gotta love car makers throwing subs into cars - total obliteration of surrounding materials and tightness

 

Thanks for the suggestion, will try it tonight.

 

Thanks MMike 1981
That's exactly where the rattle is

Found a same problem today, after monthes of folding the seat. Temperely using folded bike tirers to squeeze the seat from the bottom, dont know if dealer could do any better.
Is this a common problem?

 

I think it is the headrest that rattles- take it off, or what I did is hang a vehicle organizer in the back- securing the headrest

 

did u read the rest of the thread......he got it.....
