Angry Video - rattlerattlerattle


Turn up your volume and listen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osJkmg3i7x8#GU5U2spHI_4

-Tried adding extra weather stripping, no effect
-Not related to acceleration, occurs only when the speed reaches 80-90
-Does NOT occur when the door is bumped or car goes over rough pavement
-Sounds sort of like glass rattle, but I can't tell if rolling down the window makes it go away because the wind noise is too loud. Lowering the window about a cm does NOT help though.
-Been through three dealer visits and two dealerships- their official response is "we can't recreate it at 65 MPH so we can't solve it," even though I drove it with a tech in the passenger seat and he heard it .

Any clues as to what I can try to get rid of it, or what to tell the dealers to coerce them into fixing it would be great.

No. What thing? I took the plastic trim off the rear door hoping that was the problem, so you can see the latch... is that what you're referring to?

Mine had the same problem and I never figured out where it was coming from. I even took off some of the panels just like you did.

Is it a wind sound like your window is barely cracked? If so I found my problem was on the b pillar outside of the car. It's the black trim peice and the top corner has come away just enough to catch wind and whistle like the window is cracked.

Sometimes I can roll the window and reach back to smack it down but I need to get something to adhere it to the body permanently.

Is the camera person shaking or is that the door. You may want to check that your doors are latching correctly. If they aren't adjusted properly they could be having trouble seating.
