#&$^%* RATTLE!

[Echoes]

Alright ok....

I've taken the cargo cover out.
Put all the seats down.
Took all the junk out of the bins
Took the jack and accessory bag out
Checked to make sure the seat belts were not hitting anywhere
I closed the sun roof shades.


and I still get a rattle from the right rear passenger side!!!!

Does anyone have any suggestions of what to try next?

I have not checked the spare tire.

the middle sunroof shade...not positive, but mine seems to make a popping rattle over decent size bumps.

I would take out the spare, ask someone to drive while I look for the rattle source at the back.

I had a squeekfrom the driver's side middle row seat. I isolated the rattle to the seat clamping mechanism. when the seat was in normal position, it squeeked. but if i lifted the seat, as if givning a passenger room to get back to the rear seats (seven seater). it would not squeek.

I took the car to lr and they knew what is was, adjusted it and greased it. that was a year ago. no squeekds sence then.

If you're still under warranty, can't you just take it to dealer and have them figure it out? I had a rattle at the control unit for the rear fans and had the dealer fix it at no cost.

When my wife is with me I hear an annoying squeaking coming from the passenger seat...

same principle, askewed, remove everything, including wife from vehicle and check again.

Thank you for all of your suggestions!

I am a little po'd about it. The spare is the one thing that I have not checked yet. I think I may have isolated the sound to the back tail gate.

Is it possible for it to have enough play where it would rattle? I shut it tight.

I can not for the life of me figure out what it is. The cross bars on top are not loose. It is definately metal on metal.

I am going to have my wife drive it whlie I sit in the back and try to listen.

I do have the metal light covers on the rear tail lights, but they are not loose.

The rear wiper seems solid too.

I just hate to go to the dealer and have them give me the old "we were not able to duplicate the issue or isolate the problem. or "Turn up the radio"

The rattle should not be there!!!

I am starting to wonder if once you reach a certain number of miles the problems start.

Try the roof rails where the cross bars anchor into. Mine were a little loose didn't notice a rattle but a couple a turns with a T-25 torx head couldn't hurt while your trying everything.
