Interior Rattles anyone? Help!?!

[northwestrally]

I think I can help w/ the sunroof rattle:

While you're driving with the sunroof closed, see if you can eliminate the rattle by reaching up and holding down the pop-up wind deflector at the leading edge of the opening.

This was the only source of irritating noise on my mint 124K G20t (well, other than Larry King's or Susan Powter's voice on the radio, that is).

For a cure, I just stuck a wee bit of sticky-back velcro tape on top of the deflector.

I hope that's all it takes. My car is otherwise rattle-free, even with the AGX's set on "4".

temps reached low 40F's today and guess what....the ticking noise from the dashboard (near front winshield) stopped. hehehe.

My guess: Your rear brake light assembly in the rear window may be loose- go ahead and give it a yank to take it off.

look at the metal bracket that holds down the brake light housing.

take some electrical tape- and wrap it around the bracket to make it "bigger" so that it will hold onto the plastic brake light housing tighter.

hopefully that solves your problem- if not- check to see if those three little plastic screws in the rear deck are in good condition- if they're broken- then that may be your problem... they screw THROUGH the rear deck and INTO the metal plate underneath it.

hope this helps.
