I started getting a strange window rattle. I already get the infamous glove box rattle. But I've just gotten a new one. It seems to be at the top of the window on the passenger side. If I put the window down a little it stops. Anyone else have this problem?

Most of the rattles were coming from the middle and right dash. The remaining rattle has something to do with a cable behind the right vent hitting the vent's tubing.
What was the rattle in the middle of the dash, and how did you fix it?

Of all the vehicles I have ever owned this is the first to REALLY DISAPPOINT me.
Front tires are shot, I never had to align any other vehicles by 30,000 unless they pulled.
Rattles like a freezing hooker, c'mon I had 2 6x9s 2 12s and over 1200 watts in my Isuzu Trooper and it rocked your socks off!!! Set car alarms off and took your breath but NEVER RATTLED!!!!!
I put almost 60,000 Mi on my 99 F150 with the 5.4 triton motor running flat out in central Florida back country ON THE SAME SET OF TIRES

I love My FIT but I tell everyone to avoid them like the friggin plague
DOMO ARIGATO HONDA SAN

P.S. My dash sounds like mice humping in bubble wrap. IS That a rattle??
The mice skittering across bubble wrap is the same sound I'm having. What is causing that?

Geez, that was so long ago. I can tell you the glove box had multiple points of noise, which I solved myself, mostly with velcro strips.

Another really annoying one was a constant ticking I was hearing next to my left ear. Turns out to be something with the weather stripping on the driver door frame. I applied tape to thicken the strip, and that solved it. Took literally years to figure that one out.

And that rear "hatch" rattle over bumps a lot here have experienced...I traced it to (believe it or not) the driver side rear seat, when in it's more upright position, rattled against the lock mechanism. Applied velcro strip, and noise be gone. Or, you can recline the seat to its reclined position and that works too.
