I had two noises, and both of them were completely fixed:
1. There was a "tickering" kind of sound (like a needle being tapped on a
baking sheet). This was a weird sunroof issue. Took it in, and they
replaced most of the sunroof mechanism on warranty.
2. There was this chattering kind of sound (like two pieces of plastic
jiggling against each other). Looked around for a few days, until I found
out that it was the right rear and center seatbelt latches jiggling against
each other. I lifted up the back seat, and realigned the latches so that
they were separated.
I LOVE MY CAR! NO NOISES WHATSOEVER! (except that pathetic sound my GA's
make as they are trying to burn rubber. Why don't they make frying pans out
of Eagle GA's. Sure as hell NOTHING will stick to them as they certainly
can't stick to pavement. GRRR!)
