Can someone forward this to the executives at Subaru and get them in a room and ask how they let a car, like the 2015, come off the line like this? Several YouTube videos dedicated to this subject can't be good.
On a positive note, if you're looking for a cheap alternative to dynamat, I found a product at Home Depot called Protecto Wrap. Completely eliminated the rattle in the back deck. I'll post more later. |

Interesting, I've just used rtv silicone.
I took out the clip, and put some on both parts, then just put it back in |

Oh man my rear brake light on my 2015 is driving me nuts. Been trying to get it to stop rattling for a while now. Tried all sorts of ghetto things. I think the rattle might be INSIDE the light. The whole assembly is so shoddy its ridiculous.

Subaru will warranty the rattles. I took mine in this week. I had three rattles that could be heard on pretty much any road that wasn't newer asphalt. They put foam in the A-pillars and rear deck, and now they are gone. At least to the point where they aren't audible or distracting with any sort of ambient noise. Worth a shot to take it to a dealer if you're in warranty.

I stay away from the dealer unless it's something catastrophic. Nothing drives me crazier then leaving my car with someone for x number of days.
