Alright so let me describe the rattle. At some low rpm ranges or when the road is bumpy I get a really annoying rattle in the rear speaker cover area above rear seats. Now 5 months ago I did have the speakers swapped out, not sure if that is it. But anyway, it sorta sounds like theres one very small glass marble bouncing around plastic. Although there is no way that that is it. I can also reproduce the same noise by slightly tapping on top of both speakers.

Heres the twist.. Tapping on top of both speakers both produce this noise.. however when I'm driving it seems it only comes from the right speaker! (Left one if you're looking at the rear but right of the car) WEIRD.

Any suggestions/comments/similar cases please reply! Anything would be good.

 

The cover was not put back on correctly. If you look across the line by the back window, you will see a slight hump about mid-way. This is the tab on the cover that didn't make it back in the slot.

How do I know this? I was stupid and made the same mistake.

 

Oh actually I think I do notice this.. So is there any way to put this tab back in without fully disassembling the rear seat?

 

Nope - you have to take the seats out and do it right. It's not bad though - took me maybe 15 minutes total to do both the second time. Good luck!

 

Thank you very much for your information. I will get to work tomorow.
