    I thought I saw a thread on this - but now can't find it...

    If the front window is down, and you go over those little raised 'dots' on the road, I get a loud rattle - sounds like something is loose...

    Anyone seen the thread? I have to take the car in for oil et al, and would like some enlightening before hand...

    This sounds like brake pad rattle. Common in the Gen III.

    Mine has had this issue since I drove it off the lot. Had it looked at twice at the dealership and they can't fix it. Is the brake pad rattle easily fixable?

    That makes some sense - never saw the thread...
