Default Things that drive me nuts about my GSR.

1) Seatbelt squeaks a ton.
2) Door light is constantly on or flickering.
3) Squeaks from the dash.
4) Squeaks from somewhere around the dome light.
5) Rear suspension squeaking.

So if anyone has quick suggestions on how to improve my life, go for it .

The light is probably because the latch on the door is a little loose. This happened to my wife's Accord and I had to tighten a few bolts on it and fixed the problem.

As for the dome light rattle that is probably your sunroof...mine does the same thing.

My rear suspension also squeaks but I am also dropped on stock shocks so they are probably in need of replacement.

What latch? I was going to try to re-adjust the striker.

Yea, it sucks cause if I push ever so lightly on the dome light, the rattle disappears .

I'm on Koni Yellows w/ Comptech Sport springs. I'm pretty sure the majority of the squeaking/clunking is from my 22mm Comptech swaybar endlinks. Think I'm going to be replacing them soon again.

I have the same problem with my dome light and I can't figure out what it is.

For the suspension, check the other bushings. My suspension squeaks because of shot trailing arm bushings on both sides. I am just too lazy to replace them.

1) not the seatbelt, its actually the side bolster
3) turn radio up
5) i hated that, but new springs/shocks cured it.

Yea, I didn't know what to call it though h:. How do I remedy it :wtc:?

I do, but I can't have the radio on all the time.

I think one day I'm going to tear it apart and replace all the bushings.
