loose spoiler - Dodge Caliber SRT-4 Forums

huey_212 · 07-21-2008, 06:33 AM

I heard a ratteling sound from a hatchback. removed the trim and found a nut. a nut that went to something not a extra nut. looked all around and couldn't find anything missing a nut. Until i closed the hatchback and the right side of the spoiler popped up. removed the rubber plug on the inside and low and behold no nut. So i checked the other side and it was loose. Tightend everything up, quess what no rattels. i would check it out if you here some noise back there.

Yea, I had this issue too. Sometimes it's actually the air compressor if the bump is hard enough.

I had the rattle also, but it was the rear window washer fluid hose rattling.
told dealer to "fix" and it was done. but it drove me crazy for a week. lol

same problem - the right side spoiler nut came off and rattled in the hatchback - replaced with a nylon fine thread captive nut. old nut finally fell through by the latch mechanism.
