Angry Radio Rattle

Has anyone had their radio rattle when driving over bumpy roads? It even does it when changing lanes. I'm fed up!!!

The rattle might be coming from the antenna wire being the radio, i know that in my sti when i installed my radio, that the antenna wire was not attatched to anything, and was just flailing about inside.

I think scoobymods has the instructions on how to remove the radio bezel, and from there you can check to see if there are any loose wires with connectors that are causing the rattling. If it only happens when you hit a transfer, then its very likely that there is one of those wires. At low speeds it stays put but when it gets jolted it gets airborne and makes rattling sounds as it falls back to where it was.

My actual radio rattles. As in the parts of the radio rattle against other parts of the radio. I think the screen is the culprit. If I touch it it stops.
