Default Anyone have rattles on their car anywhere? More inside...

I have two...one is in the backseat, passenger side, where the should strap comes out (kind of hard to explain). It isn't the seat not being locked into place as far as I can tell, as I have done some basic inspection of my own on it.

2nd, on my side (driver's side) by the four window selector buttons...it seems like one is loose but I can figure out which one it any, or what it is!!!! And it's really annoying since it is right next to me. Now, I have to take the S-line on a road trip for Turkey-Day, and I get to listen to it for 3 hours.

Just wanted to vent, if anyone has rattles and needs to vent as well, let it rip! I'm bringing the car in next week for service, and I'm having them fix it, don't care long it takes.

Default Let us know if they find them.

I had a creaky noise that Tanner diagnosed as coming from the seat rails. I cleaned them out with a can of compressed air and I'm good for now.

Default The panel under my steering wheel squeaks...

I have tried to loosen the 3 bolts and adjust it, not much better though. Anyone else have this issue?

Default Another source of creaks...

Seals around the door frame and sunroof. Wiped it down with a damp rag and then applied a small amount of grease on the rubber seals. I typically do this a few times a year.

Default Another good tip!

Say, when you slide your sunroof back, is it really loud when the wind deflector pops up? It's really lound in my car compared to my B6.

Do you mean when you are actually driving (wind), or just when it pops up?

Just when it pops up. Like it sticks for a second, then BLAM!, it's up.

Nope, the deflector comes up normally, sounds like something's sticking with yours

Default I've experienced this when steering wheel is in it's lowest tilted position.

Moving it slightly up from the lowest position seems to stop the plastic squeak.

Default Didn't somebody just have this not too recently ago?

Can't remember if it was a wire or something, might try and do a search.
