After securing it, it hasn’t given me any problems. The other possible culprit that really surprised me because the sound didn’t really sound like it was coming from where I found it. Check the roof above the headliner at the very rear of the headliner. When I pulled it down, I saw some Dynomat material already in place (Guessing they knew about this issue). I slapped a bunch in and around the existing couple squares and the buzz disappeared.

For the most part, I have the rattles down to the point where I can really enjoy the car and I’m not embarrassed in the least to have passengers. While I really like the car, I have to say, I would think twice about buying a Nissan product since my wife’s Infiniti also has rattles I’m dealing with.

ddvette9..what part of Tampa do you live in? I have only seen two 370s since I bought mine back in Feb.

Good information, I occasionally have the crossbar rattle, it's very infrequent, and I thought it was coming from just inside the plastic cover..... your wirebundle fix sounds just like my situation. The 3rd brake light also does the rare creaking thing also, but not too often.......... haven't had the headliner one yet. I also get one in the front passenger side, either in the dash area or the door panel, but haven't been able to isolate that one yet. It is very annoying however!
