Hi all,
I recently got an '09 Legacy 3.0R Limited with the Harman Kardon stereo, and both of the front doors now rattle something awful with low-frequency bass. It's driving me absolutely crazy and shouldn't be happening in a $33,000 car. Also, I only have the bass set on +3 out of a max of +6, and I don't listen to rock or rap. I listen to a lot of oldies and mid '90s! From what I gather, the front door speaker rattle is a recurring issue with Legacys. I have nothing in my door pockets which could be rattling.
Do you guys think it would be worth while to take it into the dealership and have them try to fix it? I have a bumper to bumper warranty. I notice on the driver's door that if I pull on the plastic at the bottom of the door (the pocket) it stops. I suppose I could shove a little block of wood down in there to remedy it, but I really don't want to have blocks of wood in my doors to stop rattles. Any of you know what I should tell the service department at the dealership? Anyone else know of any particular foam, or other mechanisms that can fix it? Anyone had their dealership fix their rattles? I'm hoping that when I call the dealership, they tell me they're familiar with the problem. Thanks in advance.
Eric
