DavidHowell3633 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 The rattle seems to come from the rear seat area. I suspect the top's frame is touching the body somewhere. Any ideas? It is not very loud and I've had it since I bought it. I know the ambient noise is higher with the top and windows down, but I don't believe it rattles then. Thanks. Quote
IRONDOG442 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 its a cutlass convertible i cant believe it wasnt always rattling in the first place. Quote
GP1138 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Posted October 12, 2009 If you're hearing one rattle and not squeaking, clunking and tons of rattling, count your blessings. Quote
tdvs Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 That kind of trouble shooting requires two people. One drives while you ride in back to locate the source of the rattle. Quote
DavidHowell3633 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Posted October 13, 2009 So, if this were software, you're saying this is a feature- not a bug. Thanks for the replies. I shall not fret no more. Quote

slick Posted October 13, 2009 Report Posted October 13, 2009 Hahaha, well.... if it were Windows software, it would be normal. But yeah, it is a convertible, there will be some rattles and noises. Unless you can visually see something that looks loose, or wearing through, I'd not worry too much about it. Quote
swift13 Posted October 14, 2009 Report Posted October 14, 2009 could be something as simple like your rear struts/ mounting plates Quote
DavidHowell3633 Posted October 15, 2009 Author Report Posted October 15, 2009 Rear struts are a year old. Had I known what I was getting into, I would have had it done. Quote
94 olds vert Posted October 18, 2009 Report Posted October 18, 2009 My car rattles too when the top is up and windows are up. It also sounds like it is comming from the rear passenger side on the driver side. Quote
GP1138 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 It also sounds like it is comming from the rear passenger side on the driver side. How's that now? Quote

tdvs Posted October 20, 2009 Report Posted October 20, 2009 Any chance you've got stuff in the trunk banging together? Spare tire, jack and that tight in the well? Quote
DavidHowell3633 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Posted November 6, 2009 Mine isn't banging- just a rattle and the trunk is secure. Quote
