The Dreaded Rattle

Come down to Miami!

You can just pound on that area and hear the noise from the trunk or the parcel shelf. After a period of time I just learned to accept it, chalking it up to poor design, part of the budget car experience!

Its so darn dangerous. In fact the State of Florida is a murder mecca and the crime Capitol of the South. Don't hold me to that statement though...

My 2011 did the same thing when new. If you pull down the fold down seat the noise goes away a little. The sound is coming from the panel that is right behind the seat that covers the metal. I had to put some rubber padding in their and the sound went away. Its a little loose when it gets cold this tightens it up so it won't rattle. You can recreate the sound just by lighting tapping on it with seat down.

Yep. Gunshine State. You're safe as long as you're carrying. If you can't or won't carry, don't wear a hoody or carry skittles. That's practically a death wish down here.

dude you live in Florida where the heck are you getting this death wish junk from? in Miami i would walk around the " bad " side of town with no issues. i carry because its my right and if the need arises i have it not because i need it. yes once in a while someone wrongfully shots another person but not enough to condemn the state
my elderly mother and dad don't carry and they drive around and walk around the "bad " sides of town and not once in 30 years have they ever had an issue

You missed the hoodie and skittles part.

Just a bit of hyperbole on my part.

ohh my bad. im at work so didn't see that part lol
