Thanks. Yeah, I’m just over my three-year BTB warranty, but I can’t imagine those little clips are expensive so hopefully I can get the dealership to sell them to me and I can pop them in myself. Looks pretty straightforward.
Did you order direct from dealer or from a website?
Thanks!
I’ll check it out. Were you able to tighten it somehow?
It was still within warranty and the dealer tightened it but I believe there is a cover over the center of the handle and underneath a bolt that came loose.
I can’t remember if the captains chairs on the 15 flip up like they do on the newer models, but if it does, the underside latches is the first place to look for rattle. The latches click onto metal bars and if it’s a little loose, they will rattle.If you just wrap those metal bars that the latches attach to with electrical tape, they will clamp tighter (and against rubber instead of metal) and that might get rid of your noise. I know the guy at the dealership said eight out of 10 times the rattle is from those latches and fixed by the electrical tape.
Yes they flip up and have the metal latches you are referencing. I’ll try what you suggested thanks!
That’s good feedback. My 21 has those same springs and I thought that could be a culprit, but I couldn’t easily figure out how to pop up the plastic pieces and didn’t wanna break anything. mine also seems to go away if somebody is sitting in the seat, which to me ruled out the spring. I’ve got some of the clips ordered that were referenced earlier in the thread (TSB for I think ‘21 and ‘22), but really the taping seems to have quieted at the most for me as of now. Still happens on occasion when I hit a noticeable bump but before that it was happening pretty much constantly.
