Title: Annoyng rattle......
Post by: Disco-Ron on September 29, 2007, 21:13:51: Guys,

I have a REALLY annoying rattle, it seems to be coming from the headlining area, right behind my damn ear...... i've ruled out pretty much everything in the truck, can anyone tell me what is between the headlining and the roof, on a 200tdi with no sunroofs........

Thanks.

I agree with the wiring theory.

Post by: Disco-Ron on September 29, 2007, 22:49:14: The roofbars are nice and tight... the odd thing is that the rattle almost sounds like something is swinging from side to side if you see what i mean....... i've never been this foxed before.....normally i just kick it and the noise stops....!!

Pulled the front edge down a bit whilst dealing with some wiring and it fell out!
