    Default Rattling glove box + Window Ratling

    Okay, So my glove box now rattles quite a bit. I was wondering if this is covered under the warranty? MAP? 09GT.

    Also, my window. if I lower it a bit or whatever, when the bass hits, i hear the window making a noise, like its bouncing on its track or something. Again covered?

    or are these just annoyances I will have to put up with?

    my glovebox rattles like a bitch, i put some weather stripping on the inside now when it shuts its really snug. but it still rattles when i hit bad potholes or bumps. theres nothing they can do really for rattling and it will get worse as the car gets older.

    The older model 3's suffer from the rattling glovebox. Buy some velco tape and place it in the corners where the glovebox meets the trim when closed. Problem solved, rattle gone.

    Im having another issue. I drove some people to a party last night and i managed to fit 4 people in the back, a bit crammed yes and whatever, now I noticed my power seat makes a clicking noising when moving it back and i noticed some plastic end pieces broken on the end of the track. I think some people ended up kicking it, no intentionally but enough to break it. Is this covered under warranty?

    no... if I take a baseball bat and dent the doors that isn't covered by warranty either.

    dont tell the dealer what happened, it just broke and see what they say. Maybe no one kicked it, how did 4 in the back share 3 seat belts?

    I agree. Those little plastic pieces I could buy, not a biggie.

    Another issue now.. LOL seems like they keep coming. My sunvisor is now a bit loose. When I close it back up it sags a bit down compared to the passanger side.

    Anyone having this issue?

    I got my visor replaced under warranty, but when it came to the window and the glove box they basically looked at me funny.

    I guess I'll just have to live with it!

    Hey zakman, im in Orillia aswell. Try taking your car back now. Terry is the new parts manager and that old arsehole is gone now. Its a bit more relaxed for service work.

    Did you try adjusting the latch on the glove box?

    There must be some room to slide the hasp back a bit.

    As for the window, that is a tracking issue.
