To all of you who have the following squeaks/creaks, I have found the solution (at least in my car).

Sunroof- Acura is very well aware of this problem, they will install the anti-squeak tape around the moonroof. It works!

Passenger/Driver seat squeaks- I had this annoying squeak (not a leather "creak") coming from the passenger seat only when someone was sitting there. There were some posts that people thought that the weight of the person sitting there effected the intensity of the squeak. At least in my case, this was false. It turns out it was the seatbelt anchor making the noise. I took some WD-40 and sprayed just a bit inside the belt and no more noise!

Armrest rattle- Looks like the small rubber stops just don't do the job properly. All I took was the fuzzy component of velcro and placed a small amount (about the size of a dime) and stuck it on the top portion of the armrest so when closed, it forms a tighter seal on the rubber stoppers. Not rocket science, but effective.

Happy to announce that I have no more squeaks or rattles anywhere else in the car at 6000 miles. Hope this helps some of you out.

 

Great info!! Thank you! This is definitely FAQ material. Moderators?

Did the same with the seatbelt anchor... it worked... I'm pretty sure the seats don't squeak, it's just the seatbelt, cuz i tried holding it sometimes when i drive over a bumpy road and it doesn't do it. However I haven't had the sunroof problem. I hope I won't have to deal with it =P

 

Also, if any of you are getting squeeks from around your doors... it is the rubber. If you clean around the doors frequently, which i'm sure you all do, the rubber becomes really tacky when it touches the paint or other rubber. This will cause the rubber to make a creeking/squeeky noise. The Fix........take a little bit of baby powder of some kind, and put a light coat on the rubber around the doors. Done

 

I have to say something about the Armrest rattle. I always thought it was the armrest, but after trying to fixed it a couple of times with the dealer, it never when away. I heard about the squeek on the seatbelt and also used a wd-40 to fix it. Apperantly the squeek noise from what I thought was coming from the armrest was actualy coming from the seatbelt and never from the armrest.

 

I'm getting squeaks from the driver side air vent. Anyone else? I think the letter S in type S stands for 'Squeaky'.

 

Nah, it's just such a quiet and tight ride that you hear little things that you wouldn't hear in other cars.

 

You all are paranoid. Just turn up the volume and cruise. Pretty soon you won't care as the car gets old. What are you trying to do? Make it super quiet so you can go to sleep?

 

Ahh, what an interesting idea! I've got the same problem around the driver's door seal. I've used silicone lubricant on the seal and it helps, but doesn't last.

 

NO, NO, NO . . .

Why should I hear "little" squeaks and creaks at all? They shouldn't be there. If the car is designed and assembled properly it should be QUIET!

 

I agree 100% with you Imax. There's NO reason one should have to put up with squeaks and rattles. My ES 300 never had a single squeak or rattle after 50k miles. Neither did my Passat before that (tons of other problems but no rattles).

If anything they should be building cars better these days. I for one have sensitive ears and "turning up the stereo" doesn't quite cut it for me. Touch wood I've managed to fix the two major sources of my rattles, the arm rest and the sun roof. Ive been rattle free for the last 1500 miles, I hope it stays that way.

 

Pardon my ignorance, but when you say "seatbelt anchor", are you talking about where the seatbelt buckle plugs in to (left of the seat), or where the seat belt originates by the passenger side door (right of the seat)?

...got my WD-40 ready.

 

Yes, the part where the belt buckles into. So it would be on the left of the passenger seat.

 

I'm at 3700 miles now and just today i heard a new rattle emerge. Right on the dash above the nav system and the vent. It seems to rattle when on bumpy roads. I'm not exactly sure what's causing it, but if I hold down the top of the dash and apply pressure, the rattle stops. Has anyone found this rattle yet and know what the fix is? It wasn't present until today, and I don't like it!
The car is going in for it's first oil change on Wednesday and I'm going to mention it to the mechanics, but I'd like to have a little more insight myself first, if possible.

 

I hear that rattle on my passenger side, whenever my gf seats it squeaks more.. and louder.. makes me annoying.. feels like my car has problem.. so i turn up my volume..
well i'm took my car to the dealer for 2 reasons.. one is front window seal was not properly installed, it looks like there's bump little bit on the right side. they already ordered my window seal. and the squeak sound.. They suppose call today.. waiting right now...

 

yes, the vent above my navi rattles as well but i have no idea how to fix it. please let me know what your fix is when you find it. thanks

Tag66 and kclai,

That's exactly the problem I'm getting (above the Nav)! I wasn't really clear in my earlier post. Let us know when you guys figure something out. I'm still at 1800 miles and don't want to make a trip to the dealership yet.

 

I'll be at the dealer tomorrow for my first oil change. I'll let you all know what I find out. Of course tomorrow will probably be the day it doesnt rattle
