anybody have trouble on the 2003 Z with rattles in the dash, around the gauges, or poping noise in the doors?

 

I have rattles all over the place.. I just sit back and turn up the volume on my stock bose, when they get too loud heh.

 

yeah!.....i just had mine fixed under warranty last week...the mechanic was top notch. He actually got rid of the damn rattle in my 03 dash(behind the gauges). The rattle started just this past summer in Reno.

 

yea, mines on 04 and it just recently started making some kind of loose metal rattle in the dash!!!

 

Yea I got rattles and noises everywhere, I just turn up the radio.

 

i have to say the interior of Z suck.

 

So if my interior gets a bad rattle and is still under warranty they will fit it? I hate rattles.

 

good luck with fixing it. They have to trouble shot it and it will take MANY test drive.

 

My 03 Z is rattleless now and very tight. It took awhile but I have fixed all the noises in my Z. Just fixed the last one this weekend. Put RoadKill in trunk area also; now you can hear a pin drop at 60 MPH. No tire noise, no wind noise, no nothing; just sweet silence now. It should have come this way from the factory.

 

yeah i have that same rattle like near the front of the passenger dash area or around the gauges, it annoys the hell out of me when my radio is off and im on the phone

 

jomaxum, what did you put in there to get rid of all the rattles? some sort of dynamat material?

I've never taken the interior panels off the car... how big of a headache would it be to do this? I don't want to risk breaking any clips on the panels and causing more rattles than I fix...

Thanks

 

No exhaust noise?!!!

 

i'm glad my dash rattle is gone now after just one trip to the dealer....i hate rattles cuz i don't turn on my radio or stereo much....the only sound i enjoy listening to is the tone of the Z's exhaust ......period.

 

If it doesn't rattle, its not a Z.

 

I believe that there’s a TSB for the 2003 dash rattle. I can’t remember where I read that TSB, but it said that the rattle that appears to be heard behind the dash is actually caused by the plastic covering on the rear view mirror steam. Their fix was to add a sticky foam piece between the covering and steam. I use to get that dash rattling sound, but I messed with that small insignificant black plastic piece and it’s now gone. Werd.

 

I also have the rattle, thinking that it was caused by loose
wires from my Pioneer N-2 install, I guess not =/

 

its the Gauges in the middle...i just to double side 3M tape make sure i cut it so its nice and clean and just stick the plastics together LOL..and it never rattle..on tight tight tight spot i use rubber cement...and if it gets all over the place NO WORRY use ur fingers and "rub" lol rub that glue till it comes off..a vaccum will be handy too...

 

I like the tone of my ehuast, but i could never go without music.

 

Yeah, I have a rattle in my 03 at my shifter, if i press down on it it goes away and my driver door rattles but if i push on that it stops as well, anyone else have these and go t them fixed??

 

yep i have the same dash rattle on my 05,(2 months old), and the door popping, its going back to the dealer next week for a hopeful fix, sounds like its coming from the airbag area in the passenger dash (left side over here )
