Another one for the rattle collection!
This one isn't too bothersome, but seems to "Come on" at higher RPMs; Right next to my head.
I believe I've pinned down the cause to the headliner itself; If I tap just above my head (Around the region of the roof crossmember) there is a rattle like a wire that hasn't been properly taped.
Got a video here - But the sound doesn't translate very well to the video. - Shows where I'm tapping though!
I'm mostly wondering about access:- I'd like to avoid removing the upper B Pillar given the single-use clip, so I'm wondering if removing the driver's grab handle would give me enough leeway to stick a handful of foam in / feel around for the wire and tape in question?
The sound does disappear if I push firmly upwards on the headliner.
