rattle up front

Anyone else have a noticeable rattle up front driver's side? My RA makes a rattle over most bumps in the road. Its been there since day 1 and I only have 200 miles so far.
I think it might be the prop rod for the hood since these seems really loose even when its clipped in place.

The ride is great but I don't think it should be this noisy already.

thx

I got rattles, but this is all during wintertime, front windshield, and rear, I think its because of the ice..so I will see if it still happens in the summer

If the rattle is easy to replicate, take it the dealer. Have them figure it out.

hey dude, I probably had the same annoying rattle, coming from the passenger side. The dealership found it was the passenger sun-visor being loose, slapping up against the head liner.. they are replacing with new one.

The only rattle I've noticed in my RA is when cruising around 40-45 miles in Drive mode, the tranny would shift up all the way to 6th Gear, and then I can hear the hood rattle. Kind of annoying, so I usually manual shift and if im crusing below 50 i'm always on 5th gear.

Weird stuff.

my rattle is at >10-15 mph going over a decent bump. It sounds like the hood and definitely on the driver's side. A dull thunk/thump sound.

I snugged down the hood prop rod tight with some cable ties and the sound is the same. Its around the firewall area.
