    My Galaxy Tab vehicle mount rattles. As do the business card holders in the top centre compartment.
    As well as the camping chair which sits permanently in the boot.
    My most annoying rattle would have to be the spare tyre jack insert, when there's an 18" rim in there.

    Left hand dash squeak for me (MY11 RS wagon). Started when the car was about 4-5 months old (now about 10 months old). A bit disappointing in a new car costing the best part of $50k!

    I finally had a crack at fixing it a month or two back, by simply tightening the three Torx screws securing the dash to its mounts. This fixed the squeak for about two weeks before re-appearing, albeit not quite as loud and a bit more intermittent.

    So had another go at it a couple of weeks ago, this time loosening the three Torx screws completely and giving the dash a couple of good thumps from different angles with the heel of my hand to "settle" it into place, before finally re-tightening the screws. So far, this seems to have done the trick. It does still creak a little over heavier bumps, but not the constant creak/rattle it had originally.

    Sounds like I have been relatively lucky. After 2.5 years I have not had any rattles to be concerned about other than maybe the self-inflicted rattle from lots of bass in the sound system....

    Maybe after I replace the stock Dunlop tires and get a 4-wheel alignment things might be different....
