Well.....it was my loose airbox. The 10mm bushing bolt on the top was loose. Wow.

Alright, I need some help. I cannot figure out WTF is making this goddamn squeaking noise.
In the video I'm sitting on a slight hill facing down, just letting off the brake while in neutral, going down a bit and then hitting the brakes to stop. I've taken the center console up and held the wires and stuff underneath there, but the noise is still present. I've had a passenger in the front seat and back seat. Held the front seats so it can't move, moved the passenger seat all the way up and back and middle and the seat back the same... noise is still there. I think it's possible that it's coming from underneath the car somewhere near the center tunnel. I did take the car into the dealer and they said that some passenger seat wiring/plugs were loose and they fixed those. Noise is still present - though that may have fixed some other rattling noises, idk - this is the big problem. Any ideas? |

That sounds crazy annoying. Unless someone else has already experienced this, better get down to the basics. To rule the underside of the car out, have someone do the same thing while you're outside with the car off.
Since it is so easily repeatable it should be easy enough to have a passenger stick their ear around/touch stuff until they find where it is coming from. Where do you think it's coming from? Open your glove box, make sure it is nothing in there. Does it do it when you go over bumps? When did it start? (i.e. following some other garage visit?) Anyway just a thought - if you're convinced it's the pax seat, that seat is pretty simple to remove... yank it out for a day. If you still have the noise, you've at least ruled it out, and it gives your passenger in the rear seat a lot more room to move around to find the source. |

Anyone have a custom sound system/SUB like me with a 2017+ rear view mirror(with autodimm, compass, homelink) experience rattling? I have a 2016 and my rear view mirror rattles really bad on crappy roads and when I obviously crank up my volume. Seeing if the new mirrors have a slightly different design that doesn't rattle as much. I took my mirror apart and added CLD tiles in it to hopefully add mass to it but seems like the issue is where the lip around the plastic meets the actual mirror that rattles.

I've got one not listed... 2014 Crosstrek, there is a rattle (well, in mine at least..) right smack dab in the middle of the dash. I got mad at it once and slapped right under the hazards button and it stopped for about 15 seconds. Now I drown it out with music. |

Hi guys.
If anyone here has a creaking coming from the rear seats I found that the culprit was the striker/latch mechanism so I wrapped duct tape (maybe felt tape will also work) a couple times so it makes the seat thight when it locks into place and boom! no more noise. |

I had the 2015+ passenger door rattle issue. Opened up the door card and put in a piece of foam adhesive going around the speaker and it solved the issue for a while. Now it's come back. Not sure if its the same place or a new one. I was watching a video on YouTube where someone took out a plastic pad from the door that didn't appear to have a specific purpose. It had some adhesive foam on it as though Subaru knew it was the source of a rattle and put that on it.
So the interesting thing is I wanted to know what this is specifically for. The best I've been able to find is its some kind of water guard. Although in my findings I also found out that there are two different versions of the part depending on whether or not you have the premium audio. I wonder if the root cause of the sound issue is due to this part being mismatched with the type of audio in your car. I'm going to check it out when I get home from work but I wonder. Hopefully the part number is stamped on the part somewhere. PAD - SUBARU (61208VA010) - Premium Sound PAD - SUBARU (61208FJ000) - Without Premium Sound |

I also removed the part I questioned. Guess what? It was the wrong part. I have a Limited with the HK sound system. This part is for the non premium sound system. Maybe some of you guys with these 2015+ door rattles can check this part too. |

Decided to take my 15 wrx on my new commute route. Bumpy roads revealed rattles along the headliner near the visors. I taped up the wires above the map light. Still there. I saw a post about the visor rattles. Any one know of a fix?

So in the interest of following up on the passenger door sounds with the HK premium system on the 2015 STI, I ordered the part that is supposed to correspond to the premium sound.
PAD - SUBARU (61208VA010) - Premium Sound (https://www.subarugenuineparts.com/o...pad-61208va010) PAD - SUBARU (61208FJ000) - Without Premium Sound I removed (61208FJ000) which one YouTuber ( ) said *should* fix the issue. If anything it made it worse. I will try out the newly ordered part by itself. If that does not fix it I will go completely overboard on padding and isolating things in the door. BTW, I asked SOA about this and they gave me a really **** answer and told me to go to a local dealer. The same local dealer who didn't presumably install the correct parts in the first place. BTW that part is $17 and change, so whatever. If it works then great. If not oh well, it's not a lot of money. Edit: Part came in. Not sure how I got it mixed up but its for the left side, not the right, which is what I would have wanted. The part is exactly the same though. Oh well.

2016 STi dashboard creaking noise
Hey guys,
I have a 2016 STi with about 38k miles. Recently, I have been hearing a creaking noise coming from the dashboard on both the passenger and driver side. It sounds like plastic and metal rubbing together and making a popping/creaking noise near the top of the dashboard near the windshield. It actually reminds me of a worn out bushing. Could it be the windshield or maybe a loose bolt? I can't seem to find the source. It only happens with abrupt bumps. Any suggestions? |

I probably need to take my door cards off and do something there, too. And the rear deck. |

Thanks! I will try that. If it doesn't work, I will record a video of the noise and go from there.

Basically Subaru clips suck. Tear off every trim panel (door card, pillar etc) remove the plastic clip, put some electrical tape across the hole where the clip is installed, and then jam the clip back in and re-attach the panel. Will stop the rattling. For the tweeter grills, just put sticky backed felt (available at hobby stores) on the clips, and around the edges. For the gauge cluster trim, hopefully that's not your problem. Mine only made noise when it was cold. Press on it in various spots (top, sides, bottom, etc) to see if that stops the rattle. if it is, you'll have to take it off (easy) and put felt on every single surface until you find out which one was making the squeak. Took me like 5 attempts, but luckily it's easy to remove - just 2 screws IIRC. Good luck! |

Tried the speaker grill fix but it didn't help. The creaking noise sounds like it is where the firewall and dashboard connect. Here is a video of the noise:
