I'm getting a terrible rattle coming from the front (sounds like somewhere near the windshield) at low RPM's. Driving me f'ing nuts!

I have a bit of a rattle comming from the passenger door. Maybe worse because of the freezing cold lately.

a rattle is no big deal, most can be sorted. common on cars, much better on the Z than most.

I must admit i find this thread pretty amusing!

*bumped*
I've had this rattle in my car for over a year. It's been to the dealer several times and it's going back in this week. I actually got in the back while my wife drove around and determined that if I pushed solidly against the hatch the rattle stopped. Not sure what they can do, but they have to do something because it's driving me insane.

I have a noise coming from behind the drivers seat, almost sounds electronic like a bad speaker, or a hollow metal against metal sound. Deff from inside the cabin behind the drivers seat. Haven't been able to determine if its the strut brace, truck cover thing, or a speaker.

I just got my car back from the dealer after 5 days for the rear hatch rattle. I'm not sure exactly what the rattle turned out to be but they said they insulated some areas in the rear and all seems good now. I still have to speak to the service advisor to get the details. I'll have to wait a few days to be certain because the first time I took it in for this it was temporarily fixed but it came back again after a couple of days.

Every car rattles eventualy guys.. My dads 90k Mercedes sl500 rattled a little bit. Hell the s550 he has now has a couple small rattles. And my moms gs430 Lexus rattled like my civic lol.

Its not the fact it makes a noise its just that the noise it makes on mine is incredibly annoying. This thing rattles more than my 87 IROC-Z, and I think we can all agree that a 370Z is built to a higher standard than an late 80s Camaro.

Eventually yes, but a $40k car that has less than 10k miles should not. My 2000 Dodge Ram has less rattles than my Z.

I also have the rattles. I can here one coming from the passanger door and also a small rattle coming from the left side of the dash. Have heard the rattle from the hatch area a couple of times. I have 8500 miles now and it has been doing it for some time now. I know that I should take it in to the dealership but I know they will say they can't here it or can't fix it. I think it is a bunch of crap that these cars rattle like this for the price tag. I can accept after 30-40,000 miles on the car. I bought a 2000 Maxima new for $29,000 and sold it with 180,000 miles on it and it didn't have any rattles in it.

I DO LOVE MY Z THOUGH!!

ha i priced out a cayman s andtest drove it and to get it any where near the competitve level of the z it will cost 70,000+ I loved it when he told me that porsches set the price buy starting with the base and adding 10,000 for every letter

Mine is a right Hand Drive Touring Z.. I've also experienced rattles coming from the drivers door.. Im not sure where but its very Annoying!!! Earlier i tot it came from the Bose speakers, switched off the radio but still... I think there's rattle snakes in the Door Panels :confused::confused::confused:

Pushing_Tin 02-11-2010 08:13 PM

Just got back from the dealer........and the rattle is gone!!! After 13 months I had a quiet 30 minute drive. I told them to really check the 3rd brake light which they did, they adjusted the latch to make the hatch sit tighter against the seal, and they put a crapload of tape on all of the plastic pieces, and whatever combination it was, it worked. Hopefully it doesn't come back anytime soon!
