Ever looked at your ceiling where it connects with the rear window? it has some kind of tape or something, bottom line mine is getting dried up ( the tape) and it is not tightly connected to the ceiling..... could be a source of my rattles.... ( i pushed it slightly up and it clicked -- similar to the noise and place I hear rattles while driving).

Any ideas how to tighten it up? I could put some glue, but that would glue it permantly so if I ever need a repair they wan't be able to take it off What about double sided tape or something, or even better let the dealership warry ( they can say it looks normal).

 

i have had this problem too...i brought it to hte dealership...htey tried to glue it, but it didnt work....then i was inspecting it w/the service mgr and he pushed on it...away from the glass...towards the middle and it seemed to click....like a clip or something was up there....

i havent bothered to check it since....maybe i will check it tontie...acura tryin to cut costs again

 

so they could not fix it even after glueing it? hmn...

 

My CLS 2001 had the same problem. Only it never got fixed by the dealer(s). They tried glue, clips, etc... and replaced three head liners. After 2 1/2 year I traded mine in for a CLS 6sp. But just before handing it over to the dealer, I could hear the ticking/clicking sound from the damn head liner/rear window.

Anyway, I've talked with Acura and told them they need to come up with a factory fix for this problem, cause it's a poor design that keeps failing, even after replacement headliners.

I'm going to keep an eye on my new CLS.

Please note, the problem will show up after some warm weather.

So if I complain to the dealer will they will attempt to fix it, or will say "this is normal/cant' reproduce" ?

 

LOL... every fix the dealer(s) attempt to do only made thing worse - messy. One time they had to replace the head liner cause the messed things open with too much gluing. I'd contact Acura directly and see if there's a service repair bulletin for the problem.
