Default Rattle

anyone experienced noise coming from behind the shoulder, kind of plastic is rattling...? Same problem seems to come from the doors. This is very annoying, especially on bumpy roads, but even on highways I can hear the rattle.
Thanks for your feedback

Are you sure it's not the back hatch? If it is, it will rattle a lot more when the spoiler comes up and on dirt roads. The dealer will fix that up real quick. Had mine done too.

It's not the back hatch. It comes definately from the seat belt area and from the doors...maybe rattling is the wrong word for the noise...more a knocking / squeaking

this seems to be a common issue with crossfires. i have had the same problem. there is a creaking sound that comes from the panel that the seat belt emerges from. the small plastic trim piece that serves as the guide for the seatbelt also can cause a creaking sound. i had it "fixed" by a dealer on two occasions. it is only marginally better. it gets worse when the interior is hot in the summer. the problem is that there is no insulation between the trim piece and the panel and no insulation between the panel and the sheet metal. any flexing of the vehicle in this area or expansion/contraction causes the parts to rub slightly resulting in the creaking noise. more recently i've also heard a slight rattling sound coming from inside the rear part of the door. i'll eventually get around to fixing them myself. listening to the radio tends to temporarily "eliminate" these noises.

thanks for your feedback! Andrew, do you know what the dealer fixed exactly? did he replace the door panel and/or seat belt housing?
Hope that dealers here in Switzerland are as competent as yours are over there...;-) This noise is annoying...However, I love my American style car!!!
