Rattle Found... FYI
Hey Fellow C5'ers!
I have been tracking a rattle inside the car for a while now. This is one of those rattles that is intermittent relatively quiet, but definitely there. After all my searching and pinpointing, I have discovered the source of the rattle...
Are you ready for this???
It's the plastic cover on the vanity mirror. It rattles on bumps and rough roads.
I'm going to put some felt material around the area where the cover makes contact with the visor to silence the rattle.
That is all. My contribution for 2009. Now go forth and be bothered by that gremlin no more!
