Having tried searching the forum for rattles, the amount that come back are many as you'd imagine so have started a new one.
Was out today with the sidescreens off which I don't normally do. I have a rattle/tinkling noise which appears to be coming from under the car. It sounds like it would be the bonnet stay rattling in its holder, but that's secure. It's not rattling on idle and happens on smooth roads, but worse on rougher roads. Any idea before I get it up on axle stands, what it could be?

Do you have an aerial? The sections/tubes rattle in mine.

I feel good about rattles. It means the part hasn't fallen off yet.

My aerial does in deed rattle, and another culprit could be the luggage rack part that you remove to stow the sidescreens. Think another test drive is in order. 😊
