Angry Rattle

Hello to everyone...I tried searching for a thread but none to be found....the car has currently 439 miles and this afternoon cruising around Springfield area I notice a rattle coming from about the driver's side headliner near the windshield.
I don't know if anyone has experiece this...I was hoping it would just be the cable of the antenna travelling to the front...car has no roof. Everytime I look at her man there is a big grin on my face.

if a creaking sound coming from the driver side door; some of us have been putting wd-40 into the inner side of the door.
Try looking up creaking or creak... there's a thread out there some where

I hope this helps

somehow I forgot about my rattle and it went away.... either that I have become so used to it, that I ignore it now.

Mine was rattling somewhere in the drivers door....i think....

I have that same rattle too, somewhere in the driver's side. If I am not listening to any music, I can hear it over bumps/etc.

I have a rattle also in the driver's side door up by where the trim meets the headliner. I noticed when I apply a small amount of pressure on the trim with my hand the rattle stops. I'm going to get some thin rubber trim/sealer from Walmart or somewhere and stick it between the rubber seal on the door to see if that will keep enough pressure on it to stop the rattle.

Hey Drift4,

Check the A-pillar trim pieces. They can be removed very easily. Take a look and see if any of the wiring clips have come loose or were not installed properly. I noticed while installing my stereo that was pretty good about tying down or isolating every peice of wiring in these cars. If something is rattling then it prolly wasn't assembled quite right.

Where are you in FFX? I live in West Springfield and I'm in a short winged blue Evo with 1,800 miles on the clock so far.
