    what rear wing rattle ? Is this only at high speed or excessive bumps ? I don't think I've ever noticed.

    Now I'm getting paranoid. will have to listen out for it tomorrow.

    Nah, for me it happens at any speed, when going over bumps. It's a creaking tapping noise caused by the wing tapping against the rear glass, and it's unbelievably annoying.

    It's caused by a lack of proper cushioning between the wing and the car body/glass. It's simple enough to fix but involves removing the rear wing, which is moderately fiddly

    Pulled the rear wing off today and fixed the rattle with some thick double sided tape. Soooo much better now

    Is there a thread on fixing this rattle? Would need some instructions on doing this. I was wondering what the hell the rattle was!
    I thought it was my passenger seat for some reason + Everytime I close the hatch, i think it is going to come off!

    Yep, it's in my post further up ^^

    Link to Mazdaspeed forums How-to eliminate rattle from rear wing. - Mazdaspeed Forums


    It's pretty straight forward. Think ahead though and have somewhere clear and out of the way to put your wing when you take it off (eg. a table with a blanket/towels). Nothing worse than wandering around aimlessly looking for somewhere to put the removed wing and then scratching it inadvertently

    For padding the wing, I just used some thick double-sided water resistant tape bought from Repco. Works a treat, my rear wing is solid as a rock now.

    If you're getting a rattle from near the passenger seatbelt, check the plastic bit that covers the seatbelt bolt where it attaches to the floor. That one drove me mad for months before I worked it out

    So any word on how to remove the black roof strips? Would like to wrap roof, but need to get strips off first
