Rattling noise in the back

[ZOE]

i am getting this rattling/clicking noise in the back, i can't seem to figure it out, i think something is loose that all. Does anyone else have this problem? Anyone fixed and and can give some advice on how to go about solving the problem?

Btw, this is on an 8thgen civic coupe

ZOE, check the forum. There are tons of threads about this. I'm pretty sure Honda just did a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) for it. This means you can take it to Honda and fix it, or you can check out the DIY on the forum and try yourself.
Good luck.

I think i have the same thing as what your having. I tryed to figure where the hell the rattle was comming from, and i know it wasnt my rear sub making the noise the plastic piece for sure is rattling.

[CameronJr9]

There is a DIY fix for this. I also believe it's covered by Honda if you want to take it in and have them do it.

[06CivEXJon]

Really? id like to know if its hard or not to remove it or something but, i dont want to break anything in the process.

[FunkNasty777]

a link to this TSB would be phenomenal

My rattle is not in the back, but just behind the moonroof in the ceiling, when i close a door it's real bad, anyone know if Honda (dealership) will fix this ?

[06CivEXJon]

Yeah if you want to spend 3-4 hours like my dealership said. I said f*ck that i'm not going to let you keep my car for that time or longer if that then give me a loaner,dealerships are dumb especially the people that work in the service department they f*ckin suck, stupid dumbass retards, she said (lady working there was also rude) (we dont fix rattles on saturday) i said WTF then bitch what do you do on saturdays? (i wish i said that) because i was so pissed,drove all the way down there to find out they cant fix a rattle? those assholes at the service department f*ck them! they did it on purpose i bet


What model do you have 2 or 4dr? my back piece rattles, so im trying to get that fixed,looks like you have a different rattle.

I made an appointment with my dealer next Monday to remedy this issue.

The service advisor was not aware of this TSB for the rear rattle until I called, and he was kinda enough to look. I know some of them will blow you right off pretend the problem does not exist.

I will try to get a copy of this TSB this coming Monday, then scan and post it for everyone to see.

But then agian i took my car in to get the engine checked up, took my car for a whole day, probably beat on it too and said nothing is wrong! i was like yeah ok shithead, then he had the nerves to call me back and say "hey we want to look at it agian" I just flipped on him at my office too. my boss was jsut liek wtf happened?

Yeah man im serious, she said "oh we dont fix rattles on saturdays" i was like oh you f*ckin bitch! I hate front rage, which is my south Colorado Springs dealer. I get it lol, it seems like you got the same issue with your service people as i do. They are f*ckin dumb as shit! hell, i bet if i did leave it there, and got it back monday (because they dont work on Sundays, almost every business is closed) they would probably say the same thing "oh we need to take a look at the rattle again,can you bring it in for a few hours a a full day at best?" i'd be like hah f*ck that!!.

I think I'm getting the same rattle on my 4dr EX with 300 miles on it.
Sure would like to here a fix.

Seriously after my experience with dealership service departments, i am never goin back unless i know the guy in charge. Like know him personally somehow. I've taken mine back once after that incident and it was to a friends place, he helped me repair my fog lights when the dealership i bought it from didn't. When they called me the next time (dealership i bought the car from) i just told them another honda helped me out while you guys jsut want to **** up my car!

[06CivEXJon]

So true lol i would of done the same exact thing. The dealers suck balls,and the service departments. They probably joyride the car after "suposedly" fixing everything afterwords. Plus the other thing that pisses me off the most, is ignorant sales and service techs,why do dealers hire ignorant people that dont know much, if anything about the vehicles they sell?

[mrfabulous]

So, after hearing about all of these poor service departments, does anyone know what the rattle from the rear deck may be?

[06CivEXJon]

Probably something loose that needs to be securely placed, mabe with tape or something, its not my sub but when it hits, the sub vibrates the piece back there so. I think it might just be a loose wire or cable that needs to be tied down.

my rattle is comming from the passenger door panel/3rd window area

i took it to the dealer..the spend all afternoon on it and was like u definetly have a rattle ..( no shit sherlock) , then was like we would need more time to find the rattle..seems to dissapear when it gets warmer...(like that really helps), i just said **** it and i'll take a look at it some other time

[Zesti1]

I got some rattles too. Drivers door and rear lid I believe. They come and go. I think mine might be speaker related too. Too much bass pumping. LMAO. When it pisses me off enough Ill find the exact problem!

[06CivEXJon]

Dude you have the same problem as me! i swear! my driver door rattles off and on and so does the back plastic piece, it pisses me off too, even on mid/high bass the sub rattles it like a bitch and i know the sub isn't making the noise but something loose or something like a wire or a cable. But if you apply pressure to the piece, then its gone like put your hands on there to apply pressure.

06CivEXJon,

I noticed something weird with my car the first week I had it and expressed problem to my salesman during the "how do like the car?" call. I didn't think they did much on Saturday besides oil changes myself and was told later they will do anything. Salesperson was on cell walking to the service department to even make the appt FOR me.

I don't know how long you have had the car but I assume it's pretty new. Service people may be rude and possible not realize you've only had it for a few months or so?

Just wanted to suggest if you have problems getting an appt you bypass service and tell your salesperson (hopefully you had a good relationship with them) and they can get you a Saturday appt. Once you are in the door with service people and they understand your issues they will see you that day. I understand limiting service on weekends but it's not like they have to pull your engine or something to check for rattles.
