Default Vert Rattles?

Hey vert drivers, any issues with noises/rattles, and if so have you had your dealership address them?

Initially, I had a very slight noise over my left shoulder upon acceleration. Way too slight and brief to be of concern, and it ultimately disappeared on its own.

Aside from that, absolutely nothing. Utterly solid.

Had a clicking body-shift-type sound from rear of car when turning any corner under 20MPH. since new.

They think the 8 bolts holding some tray weren't tightened in the correct order.

Bolts re-tightened in the correct sequence and I haven't heard the noise since.

I do remember something about that noise and I believe a couple of folks here reported it, glad yours is gone and hope the other poster replies and his is gone too. The vert is one gorgeous machine.

Nope. Mine is good. Feels like a coupe with the top up.

Yes, 21 and 22 MY's thus far for the verts, and thanks for the info on 355's. A vert is on my radar (simply gorgeous), and I truly dislike rattles, glad to hear they were minor and/or resolved, hoping for 22 production they have been fully exorcised.

Thanks, I’ve heard the coupes have been solid, other than some odd noises coming from the rear hatch area as reported here but they were for earlier years

My 18 coupe had a rear located rattle which turned out to be the 3rd brake light lens in its housing. Was replaced under warranty and I am now rattle free! A very solid and tight driving machine!

My 21 coupe is solid no rattles, my only complaint are the Dunlop sport maxx tires, they are the worst tires I have ever had on any of my performance cars I have owned. After these get more miles on them I am replacing with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.

FWIW, I had the Dunlap Sport Maxx's on my Jag XKR (non ROF) as OEM tires, and when i changed to Michelin Pilot Sports the ride and handling of the car improved dramatically, if I remember correctly the Michelin's weighed less, and any reduction in unsprung weight is a positive for an improvement in handling/driving characteristics, plus Michelins are known to be better tires. My MB S550 coupe came with Goodyear F1 Supercar ROF's and when I switched to non-ROF (Pilots) it also dramatically changed both the ride and over driving characteristics of the car. If I decide to get the vert the first thing I'd do is have the dealership change out the ROF's to non-ROF Michelin Pilots using touch free equipment. My BMW M850 came with the HP pkg with Michelin Pilot non-ROF's amongst other cool things, and BMW provides an extended mobility kit if you happen to get a flat.
