Thanks for the reply. It's inside the part itself that's causing the rattling noise, nothing loose or anything like that. Similar to the sound created by a playing card on a bicycle wheel spokes but gets louder as it goes, getting to be embarassing and annoying at times. The Haynes manual doesn't cover this particular part. The local Honda dealership wants to charge me just to look at it...I think they're trying to rip me off.:upset:

I'll try to borrow a friend's digital camera to take pics and I'll post it then.
