re: rattle

don't even get me started on this one. Got my '04 EX just a few months ago, the car felt absolutely solid when I had it at first. Now, there is a constant vibration/rattling noise coming from the part where the back of the dash where it runs into the windshield. I've gone so far as spraying WD-40 along that joint, and putting peices of rubber in between to help stop it. Seemed to have helped, although there are different rattles now. I've got a bad one with the sunroof as well, I oiled up the tracks, that also seemed to have helped but not completely.

I found that having the glass tilted stops most vibration but not all. Sometime when I when have it completely opened it creeks a little. Damn these cars sometime, but at least they're not as bad as the germans.
