Ok so here is the deal, for the last year there has been this insanely anoying rattle from my car on the passenger side. I always thought it was roof,(convertable) window related. I just had the car in for the second time with them saying im on glue and i took the service manager out for a drive to show him and prove to him its there. Sure enough i even planned a rough road and nope no rattle well a little but not the anoying one thats not normal. I felt so dumb (especially after asking to become an apprentice mechanic there) So frustrated and mad i took the car home and rattle away rattle rattle rattle. I then though well hes a big guy maybe its the door not seeling perfect and rattling so i moved the door striker so tight the door barely closed and yup still there, pulled of just ablout every interior pannel and still there I WAS SO MAD! i hit the passenger seat and sure enough RATTLE i hit it againg and RATTLE pertect thats it and it explains everything!!! I am so relieved ive finally found the source but still a little choked but checked all the fasteners and there tight its a real hollow annoying rattle,
If anyone else is experiencing this let me save the frustration and just hit your passenger seat from the side and listen to the horrible rattle, the drivers side doesnt do it at all.
So i will be going for a follow up interview for a job there on wednesday and have a solution so i dont look so stupid.
Has anyone else had this stupid rattle, or is it just me?

yeah im telling you i had an 04 40th anniversery and the 07 feels almost cheaper if you know what i mean. It just has stupid little rattles and creaks and vibrations and so on

unfortunately cars these days are built to break, they make all of their money on parts and new cars to replace the broken ones!

I haven't had that rattle. But I know what you mean where you hear the rattle/problem and then you take it in for service and of course it does it on the way to the dealership but when you are trying to show someone it dosnt do it.

Well congrats on finding it and I hope it gets fixed.

I've got the same rattle in my 07 convertible, the passenger seat will rattle when no one is sitting in the seat...It's anoying, and I've found that if I slidhtly recline the seat, it seems to *almost* go away.

I know exactly what you are talking about. This really annoys me as well on my 08! As if the rattles from the shaker 500 weren't enough to deal with.

flogduh, yes identical car! 07 gt rag, black on black 5 speed. Maybe its just our cars. Have you brought it to the dealer to get it fixed yet?
