Trips to the dealer for rear deck rattle - 3 times the charm?
I have taken my car to the dealer twice for rear deck rattle when I turn up the audio volume. Both times, they just simply replaced the whole rear shelf without doing anything else. I would hear no rattles when I pick up my key and turn on the stereo, but each time, the rattles would come back 1-2 months later.
I think this time, I am going to print out the entire TSB and throw it at them.
Has anyone had a dealer that successfully fixed this rattle?

Ya I have the same problem. Its the subwoofer cover that does it. All you need to do it wedge a piece of tape between the parts of the cover. You can do it without taking anything apart, but the more permanent solution is to remove the cover then at the tape.
Dealer was asking for $100's for it.

I am still under warranty until July, so until then I would like to have the dealer work on it for free. Plus I get to drive their loaner 2011 TSX.
Once warraty is up, I will do the work myself, but since I paid the premium to get a Acura certified used, I want to use the warranty as much as possible.

a loaner TSX?! if you are over at the dealer that many times...pick a TL and have fun with it! unless your dealer only gives out TSX loaners.

Warranty DOES cover this. Jungy, I had the same problem. When I told my dealership about this, they said, "oh yea, we'll take care of it".
The didn't replace the back deck, they tightened up the bolts that hold down the seat belts. They guys have also pointed other things that can be done to insure your rattle is gone for good.
