Any Californians, preferably the so-cals since weather may be milder, with rattling problems? I am fortunate not to have these issues Maybe I have the radio too loud???
actually my roof it had the rattling problem, socal or norcal both tried it was fixed though, of course

I know about forum culture/etiquette (and know how to use the "search" button too), and the group of people you have here seem to be cool from what I've seen so far. So that's my intro. Anyway, for those of you who are afraid to use Chapstick, there are actual weather strip lubricant products out there. They usually come in aerosol/spary cans. I don't know any brand names, but I'm sure you can find some at your local auto part store.
personally i want to welcome you to the forum good luck getting your GS by the end of the year. i think we are bunch of cool guys around here, so don't be afraid to ask

Thanks for the welcome! I don't even have the car yet, and my list of future mods keeps going up! I thought I gave those things up when I sold my 91 Integra years ago. Oh man, maybe coming to this forum wasn't the best idea after all.

so i went to the car today to look for a reciept

when lo and behold i found some chapstick next to the seat

i guess i didnt put enough on but let me tell you major difference

thanks

Thanks eman. My sunroof starting clicking this morning (not the shade) so I remembered this email and tilted the sunroof and sure enough the noise disappeared. I used carmex instead of blistex on the seal and it worked!!!!!!!! An added bonus was the tilt feature of the sunroof, I had never used it before, I like it better than the wide open mode. I originally thought it was the cable connection but it was not. Thanks!!!!
