I have less than 1200 miles, and since day one - there has been a rattle noise in the cabin - sounds like a loose "something" rattling against a casing. My passenger says it sounds like it is in the roof, and has pressed on the roof and made the noise sound different so maybe it is something in there? Has anyone had a similar experience and got any suggestions?

I had the same thing with mine.Funny noise,seems to be in the cabin.I found what it was at the first oil change.Small stones picked up by the tires and deposited on the belly pans.There was really not much in there,buy it certainly did make a lot of noise.

I just started hearing a rattle, when traversing rough pavement, that was very heard to locate. It sounded like it was coming from the center console area at first, but when I turned my head then it sounded like it was in the dash or footwell.
I finally confirmed that it was coming from directly OVER my head (thus the difficulty in locating it...). It's right were the door meets the roof. If I put even a slight amount of upward pressure on that part of the door (the "roof" part) it instantly goes away. I'm taking it to my dealer on Monday to have the paint flaw in the lower front fenders looked at, so I will add this to the list. I'm also going to have them look into the "fan" noise that I keep hearing and I've heard other people talk about (the one that sounds like the climate control fan is always on behind the dash -- even when it's not...).

Both of my inner aluminum door trim panels came loose at different times and rattled until I removed them myself and glued them back on. The passenger side even fell completely off. No problem since.

I have a serious rattle from the passenger seat area... However being an Aston owner - I'm quite used to these sorts of noises!

Rattles/Paint Flaws and Dealer Performance
It will be informative to track how well dealers address (or not) these fit and finish and similar niggling issues on cars that they did not actually sell particually when they may not have ever even see a car . The posts seem to indicate that buyers expect service comensurate with their 150000 cars or even service that they shoul;d expect with the cheapest new econobox . The only parallel I am aware of is to Vipers ( high dollar niche product out of the dealers mainstream) where many dealers disdained such repairs.

update !!!
just got this mailed to me, pertaining to the rattle and squeak problems:
"Sam, I spoke to our squeak and rattle guy, who's seen this before. The fix is to simply
readjust the upper door wedge in the roof to ensure that it squarely meets the wedge receiver in the door.
Loosen the 3 door screws so the wedge can center itself when the door is closed and
then retighten the screws. Obviously you don't want the wedge too loose -- where the wedge
would hit without entering the receiver".
i hope this helps---------sam #1451 red/white

That's one of the main reasons I read this forum daily. You guys are better connected than the dealers. I can learn about potential problems and the solutions before they even happen. Keep up the good work!! :cheers
