Just picked up my 2009 G37S Convertible last week and I noticed immediately a rattling sounds coming from the rear c-pillar, both right and left side. I took it to the dealer yesterday and they confirmed the rattling and placed felt to line the headliner and rods near the c-pillar on both sides. Picked up the car and it is still making the same rattling noise, if not worse. Anybody else experiencing these rattles? It's a shame when you already experience issues such as these on a $52,000 vehicle! Any help or feedback would be most appreciated.

I don't have any sounds like you describe. No chance its an unsecured seat belt moving? How does the top sound when it goes up and down? I'd be tempted to stop it part way and have a look.

how was the outside tempreture? i heard something like that on mine, but it was like 30 degrees outside. only did it once. probably just the weather affecting the top, i didnt worry about it too much.

I had a minor rattle like that. It turned out to be the roof cables clanking around. The dealer put some insulation around the cables and the noise was gone!

Have them try again.
Good luck!

If I don't clip on the seat belt retaining loop at the top of the seat I get a little tap-tap-tink sound.

This is my 1st hard top convertible, but I tell ya the top does have some rattles. I've had mine in a couple times and they haven't been successful in fixing them for very long. That's Jebuses way of telling me to motor topless.

Just got my vert on friday, same concern here. When a hit a pothole the rear right squeaks. ~ 200 miles on the car. I'm a bit woried to bring it to the dealer, they fix one problem they create two.

Here's the beauty !

Hey guys, I had the same problem and I think I know what is causing it, it is the flaps the fold down when you open the convertible, if you look in the truck you will see them hanging a little and if you tap them they move, so when you hit a bump they must be hitting next to the trunk frame, I don't think the dealer can do anything if that is the problem

what kind of wheels are those, the new Sport package wheels?

Those are Z (350/370?) rims. Looks like winter wheels.

Yup, it's the 350Z wheels. Since the weather got warmer, there are alot less rattles with the top up and with the top down you can't hear any rattles, except the exhaust music

Maybe my opening and closing the top samething went back to it's original position or with the expension of the roof gaskets, the roof is tighter.
Anyways, i'm a happy now.

just brought in my vert to get the rattles in the roof repaired and go figure they make it worse. The service rep told me that they tightened the cables in the roof. So now idk if I should bring it back, or try to fix the issues they made plus the original problems?
