Hey guys, so I bought my '13 ILX pretty much right when they came out in '12. It's a fantastic car, but I've had one issue with it that I can't seem to get past. It started in probably late 2013 when it got cold. I noticed that if I listened to bass heavy music, I would get a bit of a rattle on the rear deck, which didn't bother me TOO much, until it warmed up and got WAY worse. At it's worst it's pretty much listening to anything that activates the sub, Skrillex drops the beat? Huge rattle. A bit of Flea playing the bass? Huge rattle. Even a deep voice on NPR rattles it. So I did a temporary fix, and threw a scarf tightly tucked between the glass and plastic cover at the rear window, that fixed it completely. Eventually, I took it into the dealer and they 'fixed' it, that was about a year ago, and last week it came back worse than ever. Last night it was to the point that I could drive over a slight bump and it would rattle. I can't stand it.
Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone actually fixed it? If so what was your fix?
Video!
That is a video showing what I'm talking about that I took in the crappy light last night. As you can see, it doesn't even really need to be that loud to reproduce. With the volume at 18, it's intolerable. I feel like, sure maybe at 35, or 40, I might expect a BIT of rattle from the door handles/buttons, but 18, from the back window? In an Acura with ELS sound? That just doesn't seem right to me.
Let me know what you think.
