2001 Is200 Trim

[Yanto]

Hello. I have a 2001 IS200 in Aztec Fire. The car has been superb so far and I really love it. However it has recently developed a 'plasticy clicky' sound from somewhere inside the cabin when cornering or hitting a pothole etc. Sometimes it seems to be coming from the sunroof surround and others from somewhere around the passenger front door. Anyone ever had anything similar please? All advice gratefully accepted. Cheers all

Not sure if this is your problem but I had an odd rattling sound from the front passenger side, which happened at speeds over 50, and over bumps. It turned out to be a panel under the car on the passenger door side. Two of the push-in plastic fixings had come out, and the front of the panel was unsupported. The wind was catching it and the panel was vibrating and banging the underside of the car.

A couple of cable ties have fixed it. Worth a look under the car for loose panels.

Cheers,

IanB :D

Ian- Cheers for the reply. This noise is definitely coming from inside the car not outside. Also it can happen at 5 mph right up to 80 mph so it is not speed dependent at all. It definitely sounds 'plasticy' if you see what I mean. It almost as if part of a piece of plastic trim is not connected properly. Have to carry on the search. Cheers again
