rear passenger rattle above window
I've been reading about all the rattles. I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only when that gets aggravated with it... I expect more from a luxury type car than this. My old car didn't have the damn rattles, and it was an economy car! (I haven't pinpointed the rattle yet. I have two. One is when the bass from music is loud, and two is the rear passenger side window. I believe its the plastic above the small window towards the rear shelf. Any ideas on how to fix that?) My boyfriend has a 2002 CLS and has no problems whatsoever with rattles. And his has more miles than mine! (mine is a 2001 CLS)

I have had rattles out the ass on my 03 CLS, I'v just come to accept them for the most part at this point, I mean you fix one and another pops up not to much later...But your rattle may be the torsion bars in the trunk, I had a rattle and it sounded like it was in the rear deck, but someone here suggested it could be the torsion bars rubbing together, so I wraped the area where they meet in electrical tape, and it took car of it, you could try this.....

Is it a chirping noise?....if so I have the same damn problem. I will await other responses.
YEP. MINE IS A CHIRPING NOISE... ANNOYING AS HELL (THE SOUND CLOSE TO THE WINDOW. STARTS UP WHEN I AM ON UNEVEN ROADS THAT HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT LITTLE TINY TINY HILL TYPE BUMPS)
Ok, I can see how my 2nd rattle might be this... I hate to ask but is the torsion bars the two 1/4 inch bars in the trunk of the upper self that crossies each other? I am pretty new to all the technical names and parts of cars. Don't know too much about cars, but learning is a good thing! (That's why I am here)

If it's a chirping sound then more then likely it's the torsion bars as that is what I would describe the sound which they made when I had this problem. The torsion bars are the bars which pop the trunk open, and cross each other....
