Excuse me for my ignorance but it seems like the State with the extreme heat/weather are causing rattling problems here and there??? Or is it dependent on the year the GS? I have 99 GS3 in California and don't have any rattling problems, except for typical leather noise when you're sitting on it and from sliding around. 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???

Hi all. I'm new to the forum. I am going to purchase a GS before year end. I've been lurking for a few days now I decided to register today. 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.

ive been thinking about this fix for some time now
so i went to the car today to look for a reciept
when lo and behold i found some chapstick next to the seat

well i agree with you ....it does work ..it cut down on the rattling by about 90%
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!!!!
