I have a few questions/comments/complaints here . . . bear with me:

1. So my rear cup holders are rattling up a storm since my sub went in. I know they just pop out, I am trying to think of something to do to make the fit a bit tighter so it does not rattle but I just can't come up with anything realistic . . . anyone have any ideas??

2. There is also a rattle coming from the right side of my car (after weeks of listening i still cant pinpoint it to the front, mid, or back of the car). I remember an infamous seat belt rattle and thought this might be it, but I dont see how my passenger seat belt mechanism could possibly be rattling . . . does anyone happen to have that thread saved somewhere that they could link here I would greatly appreciate it. Just something that talks about where it comes from exactly and how people went about fixing/workingaround this.

3. The panel between my windshield and passenger window seems to make a noise when I hit any kind of a bump, is it possible a part of this is loose?? I have absolutely no idea where to begin in removing this panel, anyone have experience with this thing that could point me in the right direction??

I don't know about the first two problems, but I def. have the last one. I think mine is or around both A-Pillars. I tried putting some insulation behind them which seemed to quiet it some but not all.

My most annoying squeak/creak is when going over slow bumps. It sounds like it is either the front drivers side Eibach Spring, but I tried boucing the front of the car up and down and could not get the sound, so I am out of Ideas. I have just started turning my music up.

regarding seat belt noise, have you tried strapping the seat belt without a passenger - this solves the noise on that department.

i noticed that when you put the sound tooooo loud the speakers start to vibrate loosing the bose emblem at the back causing an irritating sound - i super glued them to keep them quiet.

now for my problem - even on a small bump there seems to be a noise on the hand brakes. i rattles and sometime the entire middle console makes noise - i was planning to take it apart but i don't know how to remove the knob on the automatic stick.

I just put velcro on the wall where the seatbelt sits and it has been quiet since.
