    The plastic housing covering the LKA camera at the top of the windshield is rattling a lot. If I apply some pressure to it, the rattle stops. The housing doesn't fit tightly against the windshield, so I can't lubricate the joint or use a thin shim to immobilize it. I did notice that if I shoved my finger in the gap between the housing and glass that the rattle stopped, so pulling the housing down a bit would work. I'm thinking I can find a thick clear rubber stick-on foot and apply it to the glass, wedging it between the glass and plastic. Anybody have any other good ideas?

    Why ask if we have good ideas? Take it to the dealer to get it fixed under warranty.

    Had the same problem. I took the housing down, applied some double sided tape.

    Problem solved.
