Hey everyone,
My 2006 RTS has developed two intermittent rattles I'd love to hunt down and silence, thought I'd run em by the group and see if anyone has any advice.
The first is a vibration inside the driver's side roof column right beside my head. The rattle itself sounds like metal-against-metal, like a thin piece of metal trim or something vibrating at a relatively high frequency. It seems to come from underneath the plastic doorframe trim, maybe around the seat belt hanger assembly. It seems to occur unrelated to rough pavement, so I don't know what causes it, but it's very intermittent. Has been occurring infrequently since I bought the truck in June.
The second vibration is more of a heavier mechanical rattle coming from somewhere in front of the passenger seat. Can't tell if it's from something inside the dash, or in front of the firewall. It occurs when I drive over rough pavement or asphalt patches on pavement, and a lot more frequently along gravel roads. It might be something suspension or steering related, or it may be something that wasn't tightened or was left inside the dash when the dealership performed the airbag fix.
I know it's a long shot, but hopefully someone on here has seen this before and might have an answer for me, thanks!
