Yes, there are numerous amount of threads regarding rattles, but who in this forum completely solved the rattling problem after addressing it to their local dealers?

I recently got another rattle on the passenger door and it's driving me crazy.

I'm planning to take my TSX in for the TSB's for the rear lights and speaker panels, but contemplating whether or not I should tell them about the passenger side rattles, because some people have told me their rattles has worsened after the dealer attempted to fix the problem.

Any feedbacks are welcomed!

I too thought I had a passenger side rattle; turned out to be the glove box not fitting/closing tightly. I solved that problem by adding little rubber bumpers to the glove box frame and now the door fit tight, not more rattle over rough pavement.

Also, do you by chance have an OEM body kit?

I get this buzzzzzzz-ing sound from the pass. side when going > 60 mph and the buzz frequency increases with speed.
I am pretty sure it's coming out of the speaker.

Had my TSX into Acura for two days. They applied this TSB to BOTH front doors. They also replaced the driver's door panel for excessive road/wind noise.

I have had the vehicle back for 24 hours now and SO FAR, no buzzing.
Service Manager said it's the first one they did. It's fairly extensive (the TSB) and they must have the necessary parts on hand to do the TSB. He called me after they had ordered the parts and they were in.

Keeping my fingers crossed as this was my 7th visit for this problem!

7th Visit!?? Geez.

I'll ask them if they can replace both the speaker panels in the driver and passenger side.

Also, miner--I don't have the OEM bodykit.

ive been in and out over 7 times regarding problems, that they have never fixed. once they put some material in the door and it sounded worse, the next time i brought the tsb in and they said theyd do it. when i picked up my car they said taht the first time they put in material was good enough.
i get ridiculous buzzing in the 2 front doors still. i have to listen to my music with 0 bass, when id prefer atleast +2. they refuse to help, and todl me they would call me when the ddistrict manager was in town, and they never did. so my music listening drives me insane all day, which i dont think is very right.

also, since i got the oem body kit. sometimes the left sideskirts rattles with speed.

Did you get it installed professionally? Funny how even the OEM body kits rattle.

Anyways, that's exactly why I'm hesistant to ask the dealer to fix my rattles, I don't want them getting any worse than it already is.

The side strake pin under the car fits loosely - add a washer to take up the slack. I fixed this myself; Acura was not able to fix on their own or was not able to diagnose. This is a common problem with the OEM kits.

I had mine in the shop on Tuesday for a passenger door rattle. They said it was the run channel (that the window runs down into) and they fixed it.

I haven't heard the rattle since I got it back. (knock on wood)

iamhomin

Run channel? Alright, I'm printing some of these shiznitz for reference.

iamhomin, who will make an appointment probably by late October.

I hear a pretty nasty rattle when the passenger seat back is in certain positions..

I also hear a lot of rattles from my overstuffed keychain.

hmm well i hate my dealer ship. but' i like the parts manager, he is one nice guy. the service manager is in his 20s and he is a little shit. im 17 yearsold, so a punk kid with a nice car to him, he tried to intimidate me and i ended up getting serious. he left work for the day, and i got no service,
back to the point. i called the parts manager, nice guy, hes order all the parts of the tsb that the service missed, and im takin it in on monday. hes also ordering the original clips for my stock side skirts, which i am puttin on for winter.
i copied many quotes from this forum, people problems and peoples happiness to have the tsb. i hope it all helps.
i have to say thanks to the community for givin me some info to help.
