Creaks and Rattles
Am I the only one that have a bunch of creaks and rattles in their c6?
I own a C6 GS 2010, with only 12,500 miles on it, while driving both front window pillars, and right door creak and rattle, well the door isn't really a constant rattle it makes a bang or crack noise ever few minutes, it's fricking annoying and gotta try to turn up the music to wash it out. but this is ********, I get in my GF much cheaper 2006 Mercedes, or a loaner VW CC chevy gave me and they make no noises, even when pushing on panels or what not. Makes the car feel so damn cheap, listening to it. is this problems others have had, is their a solution, or would chevy dealer do something about it. I feel Chevy would say, it's suppose to creak and crack, what do you think cars do. |
Saving weight is a two edged sword....

No seams like my top is quiet, really seams the noises are coming from right door and pillars.
Also when I have song with some base, the plastic panel right behind the speaker on the door rattles something awefull. |

I have a 2009 coupe with 21,748 miles and 35 months on it and it doesn't make any body noises at all, and didn't even when I had the OEM Goodyears on it. However I have the F55 rather than the Z51 suspension like you, which might make a difference. However, my transparent top used to pop and creeked before I put shrink wrap over the locating posts after I owned it for a week or two; nothing since this fix. Maybe it is your top making some of the noises you are hearing. Good luck finding and fixing you noises; if your like me it must really bother you...and for good reason.

There is a tsb on the door strickers. Get them checked.

My 08 rattles like a bucket of bolts. It makes my s2000 feel like a luxury car. I hate it

Turned out that part of my noisy top problem was defective door strikes, and part of my noisy door problem was in the top. Get the bulletin, follow it step-by-step, and you'll probably be better off. Good luck! PS- My car has 34k miles on the Z51 suspension, no rattles or squeaks now. |

Exactly and its in both my doors I think I'm gonna take them apart n see what's loose. If I can't find it I'm gonna demand the dealer to find the problem. I'm also gonna start a thread and post a video of me driving the car so other people can be aware of this noise.

The only extra noise on my 08 is the top creaking when it's been parked in the sun for a while.
|
My 06 Z06 rattles some too. It drives me crazy.
|
Our 09 coupe with z51 is rattle free.
|
The only thing that makes noise on my '06 is the tires! :rofl: But that will be over in a few days when I pull the GY F1s and mount the Michelin Pilot Sports. When I bought my car I expected squeaks but have none, no rattles, car is solid! :thumbs:
If your car is a 2010 you must have warranty coverage with your low miles. Take it to a dealer and have them fix you up under the bumper-to-bumper coverage. |
I think most C6's are fairly rattle free but the forum sees such complaints from time to time. My 2005 gets hard use and it's remarkably tight. I used to get some minor stress noise from the roof panel but that was corrected with the roof panel recall. Chances are those squeaks and rattles can be tracked down and fixed. If you can show the mechanic what's going on I imagine the warranty would cover it. Good luck.

Trust me every vette rattles. To the people that say their car is rattle free try driving on a cobblestone road. This will bring the out the rattles. My girl's 2004 G35 is solid and has zero rattles.
