Default Does your C6 rattle? Poll

Just wondering if your C6 has any rattles or not, I have a friend who sold his coupe that says it rattled when he left his driveway. I have a Vert and have never heard a rattle out of mine, so I was wondering if he had a lemon or just the coupes rattle?

Vote in the poll and lets see the numbers, please only vote if you have a C6 (duh).

No rattles in my 07 coupe or my dads 06 Z06. But my 92 is a totally different story.

I would describe them more as creaking than rattles. Close enough to vote for Yes though.

No rattles, but occasional squeaks and creaks here and there.

2005 Coupe...driven for over 20 months....no "rattles."

After the first year or so, I developed the roof panel 'stress' noise. The roof panel was replaced/repaired and no further unwanted noises.

Creaking roof which has already been to the dealer for an adjustment and retrofitting new bushings. Worked for about 2 weeks and it started creaking again, alhough not quite as bad. Other than that the car has been pretty solid.

Same here. I didn't vote because I can't say the car rattles, but it's not without some noises. I'd say 90% of what I hear over rough roads is related to the weatherstripping rubbing against the glass...not any interior parts rattling.

All these creaking popping roofs sure make me glad I got a vert.

Glad to see that the majority have no rattles, I must tell you I clicked on this thread thinking the majority will complain about rattles

Mine was rattling like mad a few weeks ago, not squeaking. Just for fun i used the diaelectric silicone grease on all the weatherstripping and the rattles disappeared. So, I had squeaks masquerading as rattles!

No rattles, no squeaks and no creaks and no stiffly sprung Z51 option which may in part help explain the no rattles, squeaks or creaks. Then again, only have 2k miles on it so the jury is still out. My Porsche's were built like brick outhouses with nary rattles etc. so hoping for the same on my 2007 C6.
