Bolt/Marble rolling around on back shelf

Just picked up my 2010 CPO TSX on Monday. Every time I make a turn or accelerate or slow down - there is this rolling noise in the back seat area (like a marble on metal surface). Best I can figure is that its near the shelf area and sounds like a nut or bolt that fell off and is rolling around.

Has anyone has this before? How did you get it fixed? Will the dealer look into this for me without charging? Ugh so annoyed with this on my new car.

Look at the spare tire area. The wheel lock key rolling around?

Well that is oddly specific.



OP, it could be anything. You are going to have to dig around.

dont be afraid to get your hands dirty.
it's just a car.

pinpoint where its coming from, then go exploring.
unless its too dirty for you, you should call Mike Rowe.

I think this is the next step. How easy is it to take out the backseats? I have seen some DIY threads, but this isn't something I feel totally comfortable doing.

Take it to the dealer and have them find it - the car has only been yours for a week. If you can reliably recreate it then have them find it and fix it - but you might want to check the spare tire well first.

It was an acorn! Dealer just called back to update me. So happy that it was found.
