My daily driver is a'17 EB 'vert with almost 45k on it. It's developed a rattle that's driving me nuts! If I'm driving under around 45 mph, regardless of the quality of the road surface, I have no problem. No rattle even on rough roads. Over 45, and I get what can best be described as a "fluttering" type of rattle, and that sound is clearly wind-driven. It seems to come from the area ahead of the driver's side rearview mirror. I thought at first I'd picked up some debris like a piece of plastic and that was stuck somewhere under the chassis, but no. It happens with the top down or up. I checked for leaves that fell between the hood and the windshield...no. Another thing is that I can't say it's constant. It seems to be worse in colder weather, and sort of quiets down on warmer days. Where do I go with this? Anyone else seen this issue? I saw a post about windshield washer tubing causing a rattle, but that was after hood liner removal, which I haven't done. Also, It does not sound like it's coming from my dash or instrument cluster, it sounds as if it's somewhere under the fender.
Y'all help me out here. I love my pony car, but I'm an old dude, and don't have enough hair to be tearing it out over this noise.
