Annoying Rattle...can't find where it is coming from.
Sorry for the shitty video, tried to film while driving. Around the 15 second mark (can't hear it from computer speakers with heavy bass, seems to work better off a cellphone, as it mutes out the drone from the exhaust)
While sitting in the drivers seat, it sounds like it is coming from the center console in the back seat area, but nothing I press down on with my hands stops it from rattling. I don't believe its the rear sun screen. I folded the seats down and could hear it, and maybe it got louder, so I'm thinking its the latch area where the seats connect??? Has anyone experienced this? Only happens when driving at like 1700-2000rpm. Appreciate any insight. https://streamable.com/50ukn1 |

Sounds like your interior is resonating from your exhaust, i have the same issue.
From the door pillars, to the dash, to the rear A/C vents, to the cup holders, and to the center console. Those are the places where I rattle Plastic age and becomes brittle. Lift up your iDrive area, there should be 3 cables, make sure they are zip tied together.

For sure when I went to a castles xpipe is when things started happening. Just trying to pinpoint where it could be rattling from the rear. Thanks for the insight. |

Wow actually now that you say that I know what it might be (before I have the chance to look at it)
My driver side exhaust hanger "broke" when I was trying to remove the stock xpipe as the connection piece to my exhaust impossible to remove. So temporarily while I was waiting for a new hanger to come in I used some steel zip straps to even out the exhaust since it was slightly lower the one end. Probably what's causing it… I hope Thank you for looking to in it! |

Had my dad sit in back passenger seat when I gave him and my mom a ride one day and the rattle stopped. So most likely it's somewhere in that seat area and not that exhaust/heat shield like mentioned above. Parked it for the winter and picked up another car so I'll deal with it in the spring. Appreciate all the replies. |
