Mine is a 2008 roadster

I think the hood latches where they secure the metal bar against the windscreen frame make some rattle

I know the DVD for the satnav is squeaking and I don't know what to do

The dealer told me one of the speakers also shakes and they told me they fixed it for free

Also there was a really loud rattle coming from the exhaust fittings/mounts when hot and cornering hard. Someone fixed that

Still better than my Audi TT but not as sturdy as my E90 BMW

Squeak/Creaking noise seemingly coming from my roof when up in my DB11 Volante. Im in Australia (so right hand drive) and appears to be coming from the soft top near the left of the rear window when I go over a bump or dip on the road on the left side of the car. Doesn't happen with the top is down. Any ideas?

Hey all throught I add my experience with rattles.

Although a quick disclaimer, I can overlook pretty much everything in the car ,as long as it continues to deliver the noise and power biggrin

So mine is a Rapide:

Rattle 1, 2 and 3 I had was the chrome barely around the cup holders 2 at the rear and 1 at the front, they oddly just twist and lock into place and rattle is gone...

The rattle 4 i have narrowed down to a lumbar support switch button thing located next to seat adjustment. Odd design it looks like it's ratling against the plastic trim that it is located. Haven't figured a fix yet but instead of replacing the whole switch panel I'm leaning to just putting a dab of white tack at the bottom of it, as the rattle stops if u just place a finger on it. Then again you only get the rattle on country lanes, motorway and general roads are okay.
