    Annoying rattles on the Punto

    For ages i have had this loud annoying rattle that i cannot source
    Its mainly heard on overun as my zaust is quite deep but have heard it when accelrating. Its almost a vibrating noise like the rear window isnt shut properly but it is. Any ideas?

    Yeah i noticed the rubber screws were wound right in so adj them and made no diff. It really sounds like glass vibration tho.

    go round your car and thump it in that area and listen to any rattles may sound stupid but it normally works.

    Locating rattles

    You can go about this several ways. I personally run a constant sine wave and press on panels/trim, or some general bass tones at different frequencies. You never know, the rattle may be there because a screw needs turned or a bolt needs tightened.

    Other simple rattle problems are:

    1. Number plates - make sure they're securely fixed. If they rattle still try putting blu-tack all around them to help them get a proper holding.
    2. Interior panels - make sure they're screwed/popped/bolted in place nice and tight.
    3. The boot lock mechanism - this can be loosened off and moved slightly to make the lock tighter and stop it moving. Please note it makes the boot harder to open and close.

    Rear wiper should be removed IMO

    That 'how to' was ICE based but the same applies for general rattles.

    Wipers are gay

    My car rattles quite alot, really winds me up.

    When the weather gets better im going to properly secure my fron door cards, maybe get an MDF parcel shelf + see what that does.

    When i took my 60sx doorcards out some of the plastic thing that the screws go into came out with the door cadrs, so ill have to source some (fcuk knows how) and fix them back in properly.

    Door card rattles - use P-Profile Draft Excluder.





    Like that.
