Unhappy First Rattling

Ok guys I've owned the car for almost 2 months now, and the car has its first rattling. Its in the rear deck, on right side... Its soo annoying when the music is not on, even it rattles on smooth road.

so what could it be?

Seat belt fastener. My middle seat belt in the back seat rattled on all roads, with or without music. You could knock on the rear deck and hear the thing rattling. They put foam all around it to try to prevent it from rattling as much and it helped.

Are you sure it's not the seat belt? I didn't think it was either until they told me (and until I opened the rear deck up and saw it for myself later on).

What does it sound like? By the way, if you pound the rear deck area it WILL sound like the speakers. But the rattle I had seemed like a little bit of metal to metal contact.. kind of like subdued sound of rattling keys.

You would take it to your service manager.

If you like to figure it out and DIY prior to go to your dealer, you can check this... Wish this could help.


Rear deck vibrates with sub-woofers


I have similar issue as Lore has, but it's gone now before starting to do anything.

Smile Re: First Rattling...

Glad they're relevant. If you insist DIY, the same color foam may help.
