I get the shifter rattle at 5k+, sounds like its coming from below the shifter and this mysterious rattle where the left defroster vent is near the windshield. You can hear the rattle from the engine bay, near the firewall on the driver’s side, It’s driving me nuts. lol Many more, especially that moonroof once its up, every time you hit a bump. Welcome to owning an S13. lol ---
