Default Rattles and other noises...

Im at 15k miles and 7 months in my Z and ive noticed some new rattles. Does anyone have a rattle comming from the plastic in the empty NAV compartment? Also, does your HomeLink rear view mirror rattle? I want to put a fat rubber band around it to hold it together. I also think their is a loose wire between the roof of my car and the cloth in the cabin above the driver side sun visor. When going over small bumps in the road, i can hear something like a scratching sound as if a mouse is scurring around in the space in my roof.

If you have any of these noises and/or have ideas on how to fix them, please do share! Thanx.

I also have a rattle that sounds like it is coming from behind the empty nav compartment. It doesn't seem to be the door that is rattling. If anyone knows how to fix this please let me know.

All i got to say is ai never heard a car vibrate so much in the doors from the speakers as bad as this car does. I want to dynomat the doors and everything but that is going to weigh down the living crap outa my car. And i noticed a vibration from "somewhere really bad before the cross swap on feathered/cupped tires.

its just a plastic car!!!

Before I traded my Z, the dealership offered to replace the rearview mirror for the rattle. I also had my center console replaced.

I had that same problem with the rear view mirror, had it replaced like 3x. Found that taking tiny piece of black felt and shoving it between the mirror and plastic frame that holds the mirror made it stop.
