Does your nismo squeak, rattle, and creak nonstop!?

We will be friends until we are old and senile. Then we will be new friends.

Get a room you two lol! No luck at the dealership... they made me a good offer so I may have to sell it

the amount of rattles/noises is absurd and it's growing by the day.

Where the dash meets the windshield started crackling today, sounds like rice crispies.

Some weird sounds from the window too now, separate from the window regulator issues.

Every trim piece on the interior is loose, everything rattles or squeaks, and I'm kind of over it.

Go buy some felt of various thickness, and stick foam double sided tape.....some silicon lube.....and fix it. In my Nismo I did just that and make it rattle and squeak FREE. All of the interior plastic and hatch panels some off pretty easily, you can take the whole interior apart in less than an hour, sans the seats, and use the felt and lube to address the squeaks and rattles. Add some Dynamatt while you are at it. Sit in the car, and press around the various plastic trim pieces and see if you can get them to make noises. If so, then use the felt so that they don't move around or touch each other.

I've decided to stop being a whiney lil b**** and I'm keeping the car. It's just too sexy to sell!

Thanks, I will try this.

mine doesn't rattle or squeak. I find the build quality to be very good, but there are always lemons.

Maybe try waterproof lubricant like silicone.

Try think of them as “features” of a sports car, it won’t solve the problem, but it will make you proud of them 😉
