Just wondering if any of you guys have this noise problem.

WHen your cruising there's a ticking noise but its coming from inside the plastic trim. I've been going crazy trying to find it.
Originally i thought it was the seatbelt bolting point, but after i make it no movable i noted that's it not.

Help! driving me nuts

does it have full interior?
if its definately inside the plastic trims might be a screw or sumthing that fell in.
i had a sort of buzz, clicky type noise that drove me nuts, and later i realised it was the jack tools which vibrated against the rim of the spare tyre.

i got lots of random rattles since installing energy suspension inserts
tracked down most but can't fix it all
theres something under the drivers side cash that keeps vibrating and its driving me nuts :(

low profile tyres may also add to your problems.

its a full interior, no jacks in car at all, no spare either (i keep a can of foam)

guess i'm gonna have to rip the trim out and have a look just been lazy and thought i's ask if any of you guys had the same prob

i found for me it wasn't my linkage but rather the lock switch itself
the metal bits which it sits on deformed over time, i just took it off and bent the metal back out a bit and now the switch is nice and tight :)

my tail light globe was loose once
lol

then my plastic trim over the lights came loose


once u lower a car, put a sub in, it generally will cause more rattles here and there

my problem with ticks was i think i left a 2pack of NRG cans in the passenger area and it clinked against the seat rails lol, for a month i thought something was stuck under the car LOL.
