Any tips to stop Bravo's rattling!!!

[Trev]

Are all Bravo's rattly??? If so what have you all done to stop them rattling. I have used sealant on interior trim,
that seems to stop it a bit, any more suggestions, apart from buying a Honda (Type R, in my dreams).

Under warranty, the Fiat garage I got my Bravo did that. On receipt it said fitted modification to rear seat. As rattle had stopped I didn't bother looking, until I needed seat and there it was, duct tape! (Not duck tape..too expensive)
Note: They are no longer a Fiat franchise. I had a few gripes with them, some of which were posted to this forum. Claimed to have dropped Fiat due to problems getting spares. (I've never had a problem with my current franchised garage.)
I would highly UN-recomend them.

Hi Nick.

I use JCS in Kegworth.
Make sure, if you use them, that they PHYSICALLY check stock, computer can be inacurate!

it's easy! play your music that loud that you can't hear the rattles! why do you think everyone fits big stereos?

Loud music is no good if your coming home from a busy day at at work and need peace and quiet! Thinking of selling my lovely Bravo and buying a New Honda Civic SE or VW Polo sport! Bravo's are a beautiful car, but, if only Fiat had built them better!!!!!1

..and lots and lots of PVA glue.

So they can make the rattling worse?

Either that or by putting so much extra mdf in the car that all the moveable parts are wedged hard against each other.

You ever owned a Fiat B4 Trev? This is one of the fundamental characteristics of dodgy post-franco build quality. I'm afraid it's live with it or it's back to a Foclit, German mundanity or Honda PS2 (Yuk!).

Shabash!
