370z Interior Hatch Rattle (All Plastic Trim Removed)

SG4247

Man I feel your pain.

Ive been working on my hatch click/buzz for six months now.

I ve done a long list of things, and have found many suspects, but its still going strong.

I am very close to removing the third brake light. I may remove the entire defrost wiring harness first. At this point, I dont think its wiring (because its all taped down) I am thinking the third light gets hot when the hatch is in the sun, and gets warm. Then it creaks, pops, taps when subject to vibration.

I have installed five AAM resonated and non resonated short tail exhausts and I have never heard about anyone complain about any buzzing,rattling, vibration etc. noises after the installation. There is definitely something loose somewhere obviously and/or rubbing against something. Trying to diagnose a noise on a forum will be hard and it is better off being diagnosed and look at in person. You should take your Z to a reputable exhaust shop and have them hear this noise in person and take the exhaust shop technician for a ride and give them a chance to hear the noise. The fix is probably an easy one you just have to take your Z to the right place to diagnose the noise the best of luck.
