Has anyone else had this issue? If so, what was the fix? Mines still under warranty.

When listening to music with heavy bass, both passenger and driver door rattles. Does not make noise when music is off on rough roads.
  • I tried pressing on the door cards to see if I can get it to stop. Still rattles.
  • Cracking the window open stops the rattle. Closing it rattle comes back.
Took it into the dealer for a diagnostics. After an hour, they came back and said it could be the window regulator. They need my car for a day to find the root cause of the problem, and what the next steps will be to fix it.

Not here. So far, my Z has been one of the best rattle-free cars I’ve ever had.

This is mine as well. 2 years and 7,200 miles and not a squeak pop or rattle. I know it's early but still.

My 23 performance started doing this at around the same milage.

It's been a problem since the 370Z.
I was pretty disappointed when I noticed Nissan never addressed the issue.There are solutions though just not easy ones.



It's the tensioner that "pre-loads" the window before you open the door.

Hmmm… sounds like something to keep an eye on, especially as the warranty clock starts winding down.
