Default New vette owners..C7's

My car has severe rattles inside the dash as well as rattles in the "b" pillar near my left ear. I ruled out the rattles inside my head for the moment. I have 5900 miles on the car now and this is extremely aggravating. I can just imagine the troubles I'm going to have after they tear apart the dashboard to find the cause of rattle. Anyone here with a C7 have rattle issues.

I've got over 120k miles on my Stingray. No rattles, which is amazing since it's a '76.

My Denali had some rattles between the door and dash. The dealership found the noise and put sound deadening material on the panel which fixed the rattling.

16,300+ on my '16 Z06, none. Don't futz with it no matter how much you may dislike taking it to a dealer, look for a larger dealer that sells a lot of Corvettes, they should have the techs there to take care of it.

Let that warranty work for you.

Had a LOUD rattle/scraping sound from my alternator, but it being a hotrod I must have not remembered which car the alt came off of....so I bought it at Auto Zone about 18 years ago, lifetime warranty......so they ordered one in and changed it out this AM, fired up the car and drove to the store/back, hearing a loud scraping from under the hood, similar to the alt sound it was making....

got home and looking around, finally found the 1/2 inch rat shit I left on the serp drive to loosen the tension pulley it was laying on the cross member and up against the crank pulley....making it's own music......

I forget to remember shit.....

Well what I'm considering a rattle might be some type of electronics making the noise from behind because I've touched everything on the outside of the dash and can't make it stop plus it does not sound like the typical rattle. The B pillar noise does sound like the typical rattle. I'll take it in and let them finish fu@%ing it up.
