Default Rattle that would not go away

Last week I noticed a slight rattling that I thought was coming from the passenger side rear door. I readjusted the striker on the door with no response. The rattle became louder and more noticable quickly.

Point of the story:

My rear shocks were loose, check out some loctite when buttoning down your shocks, my Konis had been on a while.

(Also, check out the rear brake pads: 42K and my rear pads were gone!)[8)]

I had a rattle that was driving me crazy for a long time. I thought it was in the front dash area. I finally realized it was my McGaurd wheel lock key rattling in the under-seat drawer. Glad I didn't have the time to take it in and complain to the dealership ...LOL [:I]

These two stories prove one thing, our cars are pretty rattle free! I do have a rattle that I think is comming from my sunroof cause it only seems to ocurrs when it is open. My point is that for us to complain about keys rattling the car has to be pretty quiet.[8)] I remain one happy driver.

Nice suicide doors OurPTGT!

Anyway, I agree about the PT being quiet. The only noises I hear from it is squeeks from the PTG strut tower brace I put in, open air intake at high RPMs (no silencers of course), and my exhaust (Mopar - Borla).

I had a high pitch buzzing noise that was driving me crazy. Turned out to be the piece of billet insert that I layed down in one of the cubby holes on the center floor console. I was supposed to take off the double sided tape on the pieces, but I wanted to be able to take them off and clean them up so I just layed them down in the holes.

In my case I think it also shows the "DUH" factor of the driver

Mine PT only rattle when I riding the ferry. Other than that, it is a very quiet vehicle. The rattle is from the driver side rear door. Must be a loose trim clip. I can't duplicate it by bang around the edges.
