Is there is play in it--"yes!" The design for quick release requires a bit of play but to the point of "rattling"--I don't notice. Just because you mount this in an off road vehicle doesn't mean you go "off-road"-- way more notice from every other area of the vehicle before you are going to hear a rattle from this quality item. It does scratch easily, and ultimately I prefer the nylon holders strapped to the rollbars, but if you want an extinguisher mounted close, out-of-sight, and/or below your knees this is the best device for that. It is best mounted direct to metal or at least not around padded roll bars. Is there is play in it--"yes!"

I put these mirrors on my Land Master UTV, and I don't hardly get any vibration. A lot depends on how, and where you mount a mirror to the Vehicle. If it's mounted on a flimsy frame, it will vibrate. Mike

Are they the subs that rattle or your trunk? I'm pushing a 10" RF T1 and it knocks hard. It could either be your box or the metal vibrating from your trunk or license plate

Case is sold separate from the mount. Mount will clamp to a wide variety of bars, no problem. I recommend putting a thin rubber band around the mount so it is squeezed between the case and mount. It reduces any rattling on rough terrain. (No noticeable rattle on smooth roads.)

As long as it is screwed on tight you are good. Martha Wiebold's answer is correct about some mobility of it for engagement. Some of the noise could be coming from a failing solenoid.

Turn up the stereo! Solved. Well that model has mounting brackets that connect around our vans crossbars. When we installed the brackets (not straps) and tightened them we didn't have any rattles. It could be that your mounting hardware is not aligned for the best contact and there are gaps between the cargo carrier and your roof rack crossbars. I'd try to see if the bracket to crossbar connection can be changed to the tightest fit. I noted that some vehicles need some mods to make the carrier brackets fit that vehicles mounting better. Best I can offer.

I would say yes. I attached it to the four wheeler, it's been on there for about 2 years, riding around in the rain, snow, sleet, and have gotten inside after and my contents were dry, it's got a lip on the box that goes up inside the lid like a truck tool box, and it has thick weather stripping under the lid for a tight snug fit to the box, lid does not rattle either. Hope this helps!

Hi Andrew, I haven't noticed any rattling sounds. But, I don't put them down much. When they're pulled up, they snap & stay in that position. The few times I have lowered them, they seem quiet. Please note, my Ford F-150 has a liner where it covers along the top rim, so maybe that's why they appear more quiet to me. Hope this helps. Regards, Jose

No mine does not rattle or anything. Mine feels solid. I'm wondering if the adhesive that holds the battery has come loose on yours.

It does rattle until it heats up to temp. It's normal but, depending on how much heat you need it to produce, it can be annoying.

Its going to rattle when you put it on the gun. Even back in the day when we put it on the M16A1 it rattled. Like the M16 didnt rattle enough on its own

No, but the wheels are mounted so that they flex a little. this would not be good for off road use.

Mine is in my semi so it'd have to rattle fairly loud for me to notice. In general it doesn't and seems ok. The only negative I've seen is you lose direct heat or cool on the vent you use. It still comes out, but the unit blocks it from you directly. Basically a minor inconvenience to me

Hi, no problems. everything is fine. It has a good ligth but not as good as the over $1,000 better quality ones. but performs great for my use in offroad.

I've got mine mounted on a Subaru Crosstrek. I never hear it when it's folded up, but it will make a "clunking" noise when it's got a load on. It's not a design flaw, just a consequence of how it mounts.

No, it should never rattle! I think it depends as to whether you can hear a SMALL background whine or not. Mine is fine on the low speed, but has a very high-pitched background whine on the high speed. My husband can't hear it, but I can't stand it! Is yours still under warranty? Sounds like they should exchange it.
