HELP! Rattle above Driver Sun visor
HELP! Rattle above Driver Sun visor
Title pretty much says it all. It's a 2021 RDX ASPEC. This rattle/vibration appears to be right above the driver sun visor. If I press on it it seems to stop. anyone run into this and if so, were you able to fix it. The car comes off lease in about a year, I was going to buy it, but no way in hell am I doing that if I can't get this fixed. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Does it sound like a buzzy rattle or a hard plastic on plastic rattle?
If it's the buzzy rattle, it's probably the headliner "velcro" not being attached properly. I literally had to pull mine down, spray liquid adhesive on the connectors and push them back together. After setting, the buzzy rattle right above the driver's seat went away. It was enough that the car would have been gone if I couldn't resolve it.
If it's a hard plastic rattle, it could be the wind deflector that pops up when the sunroof is open. With the panoramic sunroof sunshade open, go down a road that consistently creates the rattle. Shove your hand past the rubber seal and feel for the deflector. If it's the cause of the rattle, you will feel it bouncing up and down and causing the rattle. To eliminate it as the cause, hold it down and go over the same stretch of road again to see if the rattle is gone.
Last, if you have sunglasses in the sunglass holder, it will rattle. Terrible design.
