I have an 06 SS/SC and don't have a complaint, the car is rattle free except for the outside door handles and those little covers that go over the car seat clips on the rear dash. But they only rattle when I turn the stereo up high enough, and then I just turn it up a bit more and can't hear them

have a slight rattle from the trim piece just above the glove box but that's it so I can't complain too much. When It comes to rattles felt tape is awesome

bought mine brand new and was impressed with how tight the car was... at 28k miles the whole ******* thing rattles and i'm constantly slapping panels to shut it up. theres something behind the dash, my glove box rattles my passenger side b-pillar has a rattle... also need to take mine in to have the control arm bushing replaced, it clicks now... suspension actually feels pretty nice to be a FWD car that handles as well as it does.

I feel pretty fortunate to never run into any sunroof issues. Seems like a lot of you are having rattles and a few people had completely busted sun roofs

solution - drive on glass surfaces only

my whole 06 sc rattles everywhere no matter what. wide open throttle, 17psi and crosa exhaust? still hear the rattles. getting cold out? moar rattles. turn up the radio to drown rattles? causes more rattles. our cars deserve a rattlesnake logo like the cobras

Go to home depot and get some 1/2 " foam Insulation tape. Slap it wear the rattling is. Fixed. My sunroof is now quite quiet.
