Replying to: stickguy (Dec 07, 2005 6:46 pm) Hey, no its not he ones on the body, its the ones on the hatch itself. The two on the sides of the hatch and not the round ones one the bottom. I beleive that the car tends to warp when you go over uneven surfaces, yes indeed not struturally sound, but its a great car over all! Hope this helps post update.
#16 of 51 OK. I will take a look and see if it is easy to adjust. by stickguy Dec 08, 2005 (7:54 am)
If not, I will make sure to discuss with the servie writer when I finally take it in.   I agree that the body flexs slightly, which contirbutes to the hatch squeak, and also the roof pop. If the hatch isn't tight, it lets the rest of the body twist slightly.   Just MHO of course. Just think of it like a convertible with the top down.   Adjusting the stoppers on the hatch, if it makes the hatch sit tight in the opening, should eliminate the squeak (which I think might be the latch rubbing), and theoretically keep the entire body structure stiffer.
#17 of 51 rattle in the hatch by stickguy Jan 19, 2006 (6:46 am)
I had the struts replaced, and it didn't make any difference (certainly nothing that lasted). But, the furniture pads on the rubber bump stops (on the hatch) actually eliminated just about all of that noise. I couldn't even believe how much of a difference 2 little felt pads made.   I think someone here had the dealer adjust those strikers, which makes sense, since all the pads really are doing is making a tighter fit to eliminate flexing. That, and eliminating any rubber on rubber squeaking.   never did figure out a way to put felt pads in the roof to eliminate all the creaking/cracking noises up there!

Replying to: stickguy (Jan 19, 2006 6:46 am) I'm going to take your advice on this one and try the furniture pads.- I still hear a noise but it's much better than before. I thought the dealership was talking about struts in a right rear tire - I'm not technical at all about the mechanics of cars. There's a small rattling in the dash around the speedometer, etc. it starts happening about 10 or 15 minutes into the drive on rough roads and it gets pronounced putting on the brakes - then it will go way...for awhile. I thought it was my key ring rattling.
#21 of 51 New niose o5 tc ? by gman77 Feb 20, 2006 (6:05 am)
I'm a new owner of a 05 tc.Has any one heard "clicks"-type sound coming from under engine when in reverse and releaseing your foot off main brake? E-Brake is off. Replies to this message: mark19 (Feb 22, 2006 11:05 pm)

Replying to: gman77 (Feb 20, 2006 6:05 am) the clicking.. try putting it in neutral, e-brake on. Push the brake pedal releasing it, see if you hear the clicking there. There has been some people with brake light switches (attached to the top of the brake pedal) that click. wouldn't be the ABS since you're releasing the brake pedal. So try what I recommended.. chances are you have a noisy brake pedal light switch, I had one too.. got it replaced, all good now
#23 of 51 Rattles - more in the 05's than the 06's? by slate1 Feb 20, 2006 (7:51 pm)
I'm seriously looking at an 06 TC or the new Civic Si   I'm very sensitive to squeaks and rattles - are the problems I see listed more likely in the 05's than the 06's?   I went through the PITA of owning a Saturn once with non-fixable squeaks and rattles and don't want to go through that again.

Replying to: slate1 (Feb 20, 2006 7:51 pm) I have an 05. And most of the rattles were fixed with foam tape. I also can say that I think the rattles are inherent in first year production. From what I've heard the 06's only have the hatch rattle. That is fixed by re-adjusting the strike plate for the lock, and causes a tighter fit of the hatch. Also foam tape on the stoppers can take up the slack as well. That's all I've heard from 06 owners. All of the rattles on the 05 tC i have were fixed. Hope that helps you.
