People definitely have a mirror rattle. This is one easy place to check. I've got a clunk from the right dash, worse in the cold, but still present after the car warms up. It only clunks when I hit road imperfections.
Very annoying.
The car is going in on Wednesday for some TSB work.

Sounds like something is loose under or around the steering wheel area. I can minimize the rattle by pulling on the bottom of the wheel.
I remember seeing a possible TSB a rattle near the VDC/TCS button. Anyone have it, or know how to fix this?

I have the A-pillar rattle as well as the rear view mirror rattle. This is on a 04 track so it's common on both 03 and 04's. I also had this metalic twangi noise from the rear of my car but upon taking everything out of my Z it turned out to be the zipper on my owners manual that made the noise. Pretty funny if ya ask me. heh.
I couldn't find it but I remember reading a thread a long time back where someone had used crazy glue to fix the rear view mirror rattle.
also, does anyone know how to remove the A-pillar? I need to get rid of that rattle!!!

this dealership is great! it also helps that my service rep has a 350, and another rep who works there also has one w/ Stillen SC... at least we all care for our Z's and I was glad they did what it took to get it right...
just my .02...

I can't say I'm a fan of sqeaks and stuff, but my friend's C5 has had 2 hoods, 2 fuel pumps, the power mirror doesn't work right, the reverse gear is stripping, the "premium stereo" sounds like poop (kinda like Bose). the interior panels don't even come close to lining up, the muffler tips aren't lined up, and the parking brake handle broke!
I mean, the Z has some problems, but I'm not willing to pay and extra $10-15K for 70 horses with the condition that everything breaks. The car only has 30K miles on it!
Hope the stuff about the mirror helps. And for my own info, what cars have you all been driving that don't have any rattles? I know my dad bought my mom a BMW and it's silent, but all the other cars I have been in make noise.

Here's a suggestion...
If you can reproduce the noise on a consistant basis then take your car to your friendly neighborhood Nissan repair facility and take your Service Advisor for a ride! Your Service Advisor should then be able to describe the exact noise and reproduce the noise if needed.
If they come back and tell you they could not duplicate the noise don't give up! Ask to ride with the tech that's working on your car.
Now that there is a technician assigned to your vehicle you should be able to swing by the dealership at a later date when the noise is there and take the tech for a ride! Be sure and call ahead!
You may have to schedule a later date for your repair but at least you were successful at showing the noise to the tech and he/she should be able to make a repair.
If your Service Advisor tells you there is no one available to ride with you then ask to ride (or talk) with the Service Manager!

My big problem is the passenger seat rattle. With weight in the passenger seat the rattle disappears. So how do I get Nissan to fix this annoying rattle as a ride along is impossible. Unless I shove the lazy tech who refuses to fix the ever so obivous rattle into the little Z trunk.j/k LOL

The mirror vibration/buzz comes from the wires leading down to it from the ceiling. I'm pretty sure the wires or something else coated in plastic push on the windshield from the inside. With a little shaking (for example, a sports car suspension), the wires and that plastic cover are rubbing up and down against the window.

Thankfully my rearview mirror is silent at present, but the resonant vibration from both of these vents more than make up for it. If anyone has a fix for them, I'll give it a shot a post a DIY. Local dealership incompetent. (driver's side vent shown below)
