    That d*mn rattle

    Ok, my 2017 has the dreaded rattle.

    What the heck is it exactly and how worried should I be with highway driving on my calendar?


    Zero, 2014 ES Plus 5MT, written off but not forgotten.
    Zero II, 2014 SE, 5MT, climate She's HOME now!
    Shelby AKA "Cute", 2017 ES 5MT, A/C.

    Mirage owners look at the world differently than everyone else, but in a better way
    We're driving the Beetle of the 21st century, the greatest small car now available!

    Hi Wally,
    you may want to have a look at this permanent and easy snorkel rattle cure:

    Another rattle source could be the heat shield around the front part of the exhaust. You could access it best from below.

    Hey Wally, if it's under load at low speeds & sounds like it's coming from the back of the car, there is a TSB that may help. It worked on my car & may help yours. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...83951-0001.pdf Just Thoughts...
    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything

    How many of the 1577A390 hangers did you replace? Just the rear one?
