Default What year is your car?

If it's a 2000+, theres a small fan in the climate control right behind the three horizontal slots at the top of the CC face. This fan can collect dust and get noisy.

Try shooting some compressed air (like from a can of that "computer duster" compressed air) into the slots to blow dust off the fan.

Default The antenna is hidden within the rear window defogger grid

Only the Avant has a roof-mounted antenna.
