Anyone get a rattle after install?

I have had this unit on my car for over 10,000 miles and not a single rattle. If you are getting a rattle, let the system settle in for a little while (i.e., put couple hundred miles of driving on). After which you will want to re-adjust the fit re-tighten the bolts. In my case I found that immediately after the initial install the system looked perfect (alignment with cutouts was near perfect). However after driving for a few days the system moved a little. I simply loosened the bolts and re-adjusted. I've noticed that over the past 10K miles the passenger side exit is slightly off-center in the cut out, but it is not immediately obvious (you have to be looking for it), so I've left the system alone. But this adjustment process did convince me that the system definitely needs a re-tightening after initial driving. (I did not use a torque wrench to tighten to a specified torque but I did tighten this down very hard... maybe a little over-torqued... but it's all good).

Yes. The exhaust doesn't always fit perfectly.. I had to take it to a local exhaust shop and they altered one of the welds.. Only cost me 50$

Check to make sure the fasteners haven't loosened after install. Also, check for alignment and how the axle pipe sits near the drivetrain tunnel.

'13 FRS and I have no rattles. System has been on for 8 months or so and about 6k miles.

Hi Jim, sounds like the bulbs have manufacturing defects. I did not have any rattles in the ones I ordered, I have ordered 10 so far and have replaced 3 old units with these new ones. I suspect the rattle is caused by the filament assemblies coming loose from their bases. The filaments are used to start the gas reaction that causes the bulb coatings to glow. The bulbs will not light without intact filament assemblies. I recommend returning the bulbs for replacement.

I haven't encountered this problem. The problem I have occasionally is, at some time after installation I find air has somehow gotten into the line and causes a terrible rattle and noise. I have been able to get rid of the problem by disconnecting and reinstalling the filters. Sorry this doesn't answer you question. Does it always happen? Maybe there is something floating around that blocks the flow when you open turn it on too fast.

Definitely not normal and will cause undesired rattling noises.I would return it.

They may rattle, but I haven't noticed it on my truck. When I installed them I thought about it and considered putting an o-ring or something similar around the shackle to keep it from moving, but rattling hasn't been an issue for me.

We have two of these, and have never had that problem. We have found they are very sturdily built and work beautifully. No rattling or any other problems.

Mine rattles but I haven't had issues with the ipod controls (haven't used the mic).

Yes Ken B, so here's what I did: I wrapped 3m rubber tape around both of the metal latch ends that contact metal. There was still a slight rattle so I realized that it was the "bed" of the rack contacting (ie vibrating against) the frame when the rack is empty. No sweat; I just went and found Jose the Welder, hit him with a $20 bill and he spot welded everything rattling for me in about 5 minutes! Problem(s) solved.

No rattle whatsoever. However I did have to use black ty-raps to strap it to the vertical post under the seat. The provided hardware matches some sort of water bottle attachment gizmo, and which my old Raleigh English bike does not have and never did. But no rattle whatsoever, and mounts fine as I did it. But I do have a heck of a time getting enough pressure out of it. My tires require 90 psi, and that's very tough to do with this pump.

Mine is working fine. I had it professionally installed. I know for a fact that if things are chiming in your car it is not the stereo but the vibes from it that causes anything that is loose to chime and rattle. Look at your surroundings an tighten up screws etc., this may help.

I have not noticed a rattle during use and am happy with the product. Make sure your vents are horizontal in orientation prior to order.

First, no - that's not normal. I'm not sure how large the thing is you hear moving around but it may be insulation, a speaker wire or a lose cross over. Either way I would suggest you take advantage of Amazon's generous return policy and either return then for a refund or replacement pair. That rattle will show up while playing music especially at higher volumes.

I don't have vibration issues. When putting the mirrors on the first time, it took a bit of playing around with them to get the wedge firmly seated when the tightening screw was tight. After the first install, they install easier and with the wedge firmly in place, I don't notice any issues of vibration or poor fit. A+++

Nothing in my FH-65B rattles...I picked it up and shook the speaker to test.

I have never had any rattling issue. My copy is very solid, plus the lock keeps it from "zoom creeping", although that has never been an issue either because the zoom ring is fairly tight to turn.

It's the death rattle. Prepare for a burial. Mine only worked for a month before it started making that sound. It died soon after. Good luck.

Mine did not rattle. If it is a vigarous shake then it may just be part of the tourque displacement. But if it rattles with just regular movement most likely a defect and need to exchange it. Amazon has a great replacement program.
