i've been having a few weird creaks and rattles lately.... first off, the moonroof control box thing rattles...... i know its that, because sometimes when i push it up harder, it stops vibrating. this makes sense cuz it only happens in the cold, when everything is more rigid. can i get that repaired under warrantee or is it something i can do myself?
i've only had the car for like 5 months, with 3k miles on it... and i've already had a problem with the rear speaker (apparently a screw feel off and was rattling the speaker at high bass.... das what the dealer said:confused: ..... and lately as i drive sometimes the entire car creaks, like something wrong with chasis flex? the sound scares me. i know celicas lighter and toyota skimped out on quality a lil but i feel that this is ridiculous...
could i get all these fixed by dealer? to reproduce the conditions, its gotta be cold tho.. and im not sure they are going to believe me... i've taken great care of the car, cept like 4 hard turns in which i lost traction and slid some, but that's it.
if warrantee won't cover this, i think im gonna trade in for some other car...

There are TSB's on all the rattles and how to fix them. Go to the TSB forum and print them out and take them to the dealer.

Since someone is bring this up...

Anyone actually attemp to fix the rattling in the roof? The TSB saids lower the front roof liner, does it mean remove the entire remove liner, or just lower it?

My dealer told me they have a 36,000 mile warranty on rattles you should check with yours.
