Default 2001 ES - rattle

Hey fellas,

There is a faint rattle that I, as the driver, have noticed from the back right of my ES. It's not that big of deal, but am looking for suggestions on where to check out for this rattle. It will only rattle when going over light cracks, bumps, etc in the road.

Any suggestions? Thanks

edit: aka, back-passenger side area.

same here. Haven't had a chance to start ripping apart the c-pillars yet though.

Mine seems to be from the driver side... hmmm...

I had the same noise and I found it was the panel where the subwoofer cover sits, I had to remove the rear seats to slide that panel off and put some dynamat on it and the noise went away and made the subwoofer sound cleaner

Thanks! Is it difficult to take the seats out? (owner's manual?)

The owner's manual is the most useless piece of garbage i have ever seen!

I went and bought some trans oil the other day, so manual says 3.5L; i bought 4 bottles. Go to my buddy's shop swap the filter, and gasket NOT a flush. We added all 4L and it was low... I had to add another liter today, making it just under 5L altogether.

Thanks manual! You fail.
