My rear, driverside interior side panel rattles from the bass in my factory stereo.

Anyone else have this problem?

It's annoying as hell.

Yup...

Me too, I wasn't sure where the noise was coming from, but it's definitely the driver's side rear. The volume doesn't even need to be up for this; just needs some really low bass notes (CDs exhibit it more than radio). I was planning to take it in for a fix under warranty, but haven't yet.

Had it once. only have 500 miles on the car though. i played with the seat belt height adjuster after i heard it. may be in there.

Tried that, but yesterday I left the radio playing on a song with low bass and climbed into the back seat. It's definitley that panel. I put my hand on the panel and the rattling went away and the stereo sounded much better.

I have a friend that ownes a company that sells sound deadening material, I'll have to talk to him and see what he can do for me. If this is a widespread problem maybe i can get him to come up with a kit to make a quick fix for us.

yeah, that and anyone can go to bestbuy or any audio store that sells car audio supplies and get dynamat, it's what professional audio installers use for vibrations, i'm considering some for my trunk, I have after market subs in the trunk and the license plate and spoiler rattles like non other

But I guess my point is, I shouldn't have to spend a dime on something that shouldn't occur with a factory stereo. Looks like Don Davis Pontiac's service dept. will be figuring out the solution.

 

[Groucho]

Mine did that exact thing.

I took it in.

I thought it was that panel-- woulda swore by it, but it wasn't. The speaker was blown.

Warranty repair-- Replaced free for nothin'.
