Hi guys i have a 99 tf executive about 170 k on the clock and i just had a question for you.


I have noticed from about 95- 110 kph i can hear a faint rattle coming from behind me im assuming it may be the rear seat window or perhaps the seals i have seen in a couple of other posts that others have the same issue is there a way to fix it? its driving me insane lol


thanks alot cheers!

I would have thought, that now being at 170thousand kms, its expected for things to rattle a bit?

can you be more specific about the location of the rattle - maybe get someone else to drive the car at said rattle inducing speeds be in the back to look/listen for the source of the rattle.

this may help you - my drivers seat belt holder (on the B pillar) occasionally rattles/creaks, only rarely tho so i never looked for a fix for it.

is the back window fully closed?
is the door trim correctly fitted to the door shell - no unusual gaps etc?

In TJ Sports (had a hard life prior to me, by the look of it) I get rattles from the passenger seat back/hinge, few squeaks in dash etc. have recently noticed a bass-induced resonance in the drivers door, or behind the door-trim.

Another thing to check, possibly by sitting in back with someone else driving, is the C-Pillar trims. I hadn't really noticed a resonance there but when putting rear reading lights in there was obviously paint worn off in some patches under that trim - fitted foam before refitting them.
