Cup_of_Joe Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 So I noticed some annoying noises while driving and was wondering if anyone else has them or fixed them? First one would be my driver seat, it squeaks when I move a little, cloth base model seats not powered or heated. Second one is the passenger visor, sounds like there is loose pieces of plastic vibrating in it, and no matter how I position it, it still rattles. Not all the time, usually while cruising. And lastly, rear driver side, maybe the speaker or cover back there, I'm usually alone in the car and can't narrow it down. Rattles while cruising. 2010 Legacy 2.5i base, manual, after market exhaust. Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unsp0kn Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 The seat squeaking is likely the seat belt buckle rubbing against the flange that stops it from rotating too far. I believe there was a TSB about it and it's literally remedied by wrapping the stop with electrical tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that :/ It squeaks when I move forward or back, not adjusting the seat, just like if I'm stopping fast, or if I put my foot against the dead pedal and push myself back. I'm assuming I just need to take the seat out and lube things up. Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cww516 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Any chance you have sunglasses in the holder? That could be the source of your visor rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, definitely the passenger side visor, I can push up on it against the roof and it stops it from rattling. But I'm looking for a permanent fix.

Sarang Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I had a persistent squeak from my stereo area when I first got the car, so I just went nuts with some window/door trim foam and duct tape. I would go the same route again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
