Thread: Rattles + squeaks!

  1. Default Rattles + squeaks! Making a list. Please contribute.

    Hey guys. I know this topic has probably been covered a million times, but I'm going to bring it up again.

    I've owned an 08 MPS for 3 months now, and I have never owned a car with more interior rattles than the MPS.

    I am going to make a list of common rattles + squeaks associated with the Gen 1 MPS.

    To do this, I need the following:

    1. The rattle/squeak that was discovered
    2. How the problem was fixed
    3. Whether it was fixed under warranty, or by yourself


    Im sure a lot of people would like to get some sort of list so they can fix all the bloody annoying rattles in their babies.

    Start listing rattles/squeaks guys

    have you ever taken the dash apart cause if you have you will know why it makes so much noise, its held together with about 8 screws............

    the biggest noise in mine is the seat belt plugs, they squeek where it is bolted to the floor - bit of wd40 fixes it but it always comes back

    Rattle in middle of dash - Loose Middle Air Vent (Mazda tightened it up at service never came back).
    Seat Belt rattle (as above) - WD40 works and it does come back.
    Left-hand side pillar squeak (driven me nuts for ages), Mazda have had a go at it twice, goes away then eventually returns. Given up now just turned my music up.
