Are these things renowned for rattles, squeaks and general pieces falling off over time. After going over the entire interior with a socketset and a screwdriver, i now have about 30% of the rattles and squeaks than i used to.

My personal favourite has been this clunkity clunkity clunk whenever the A/C blower motor comes on, ive never known what it was until today it stopped working.

opened the bonnet and the ground tab was just sorta hanging there, so i pushed it under the lip of the motor and complete the circuit. this was when i realized that there was only 1 loose bolt holding the entire motor in place... so everytime the motor came on it would make this stupid noise and as i found out, it was sucking hot air from the engine bay into the blower motor, and not blowing particularly cold air.

So i thought i would throw it out there, what is the most random and/or stupid rattle/squeak/piece falling off that youve come across on one of these things?

 

come on you lot, light hearted discussion time

 

Need hinges on my driver side door so I got to give it a good slam to close it all the way, well slammed it and rear view mirror fell off

 

All of my rattles were in the doors and are gone after installing new hinges and replacing the weather seals.

 

Door handles were one of the first things i replaced. sounded like santa was jingling past my car every time i was at idle

 

I've had a jingling from the front end ever since I got my car in '89. Someone told me it was the stabilizer bar end links. I went and got some Energy Suspension bushings and hardware as replacements. Could they really be bad after 21k miles? Screw it....never installed them.

The bushings and hardware have been MIA for the past 25 years.
