Any window rattling?

With my 2009 Fit, if I have the front windows open just a few inches and am driving on uneven road (i.e. the lovely potholes of city living in Michigan) the windows tend to rattle a bit. I was just wondering if any of you with the 2015's have noticed this? Hopefully Honda has had enough time to correct this even with earlier models... Thanks!

I don't hear rattling, but I do hear significant amount of wind noise on the freeway as if one of the windows are open when the're all closed. At first I thought I left one open, but I didn't. Is anyone else experiencing wind noise with all windows closed?

Luckily, no excessive wind noise while driving with the windows up. I've driven on the highway with the moon roof and windows partial down with no issue of window rattling.

Try turning the fresh air vent to recirculate?

Is that located under those two analog knobs that you switch from left to right vice versa? If so, the right is the position that recirculates?

Thanks, I just tried it & that doesn't seem to be the problem. The noise is still there.

I am also experiencing wind noise on the freeway. I didn't notice the problem on my 3 test drives and I went on the freeway on all 3. I think the what made the difference is wind. Even light wind will cause road noise that is very noticeable with the A/C and Radio off. The noise isn't terrible with music on, but I'm going to have to get used to it. What does everyone think about my wind theory? I have an LX CVT by the way.

No rattles anywhere.

Thanks for the info - I am scheduled to pick up my 2015 on Friday afternoon, and it's been partially-open-window weather this week

I see in your sig you're getting the PBP! Nice choice! We need more representation! Can't wait to see your photos. This color looks different depending on the lighting and angle, so I'm anxious to see someone else's pictures for a change.

Also, it gets a lot of attention

I noticed a faint rattle coming from the left side of the cockpit, near/at the window or vent. It was difficult to isolate, and I have only noticed it when driving 65-75 mph on Texas chipseal highways, which are rough. It was mildly bothersome, but no way to isolate just where the sound came from at that speed (rolling down the window would have added crazy wind noise). It seemed to be either from the front left side vent (closing the vent didn't change it, nor did having the fan on recirc) or the driver side mirror area, or something inside. I haven't noticed it since our road trip, and haven't been out on a rough highway at speed since...so ??
