Rattle...

Has anyone else noticed a rattle type noise coming from above the headliner; behind the sunroof but before the interior light?

I've noticed a few rattles, but I think it's due to the extreme cold we've had here

My previous RSX had all kinds of rattles that popped up when it was real cold out, so far the RDX doesn't have near as much

rattle in drivers door

Has anyone had a rattle from the drivers door? I had one as soon as I took delivery, but went away a few days after.

I do have a rattle in the headliner - more often when the moonroof privacy panel is open than not. If I open/close the panel then it can go away, but not always. I think that may eventually require some attention from a dealer to prevent.

I also have intermittent rattles from the front seatbelts (well, OK, I'm wearing the driver's one so it's the passenger one that is rattling) - they don't seem to have a natural quiet position to fall into and so it ends up rattling against the B pillar. It seems that this is a consequence of mounting the top in the pillar and the bottom in the seat - it then can't decide whether it will fall parallel to the pillar to the outside of the seat, or fall against the outer bolster and ends up falling crooked into the gap and rattling. I reach over and flip it and it sometimes falls into a position where it doesn't jiggle against the pillar and I get peace.

The only time I've heard rattling in the doors is when I have something loose in the door pockets. The solution has been to stuff them more full and include some soft items so that they are cushioned.

One of the RDXs I test drove had a driver's door rattle. Happily, my RDX has been rattle-free so far. I normally expect a few rattles with a new car.

I have found that many rattles can be fixed/alleviated with felt. You can buy 8.5x11" sheets of black adhesive-back felt at WalMart (crafts section) and it comes in handy. I have even put some on seat-belt buckles or pillars in the past, when they were touching/rattling. I think I may line the small driver's door compartment with the felt, since I like to keep coins in there. WalMart also sells a thin black foam with adhesive backing that is good for lining stuff.

No rattles here! I wouldn't hear it if I were alone (dvd-a/ comady xm drownout). Even when we go out together, with the radio off, or very low, never heard a sound. Oh, did, I mention I'm still stupid in love with this car?
