Anyone notice vibration from headliner?
 
Small issue but wonder it it's just me.

Anyone noticed right above your head a vibration/buzzing coming from the headliner when on the highway going over 55 MPH, especially on concrete roads???

Yes. Just started over the last few weeks. I've fidgeted with the window and seal on the driver's door a bit and it seems to be related. Haven't put much effort into trying to eliminate it, yet.

I noticed that the headliner is not flush with the roof...there is some movement when you push on it. Need to figure a way to dampen the vibration.

YES!! I have had my BRZ since Aug and no issue, until now....I think it has something to do with the cold weather(Canada). It gets really annoying I started pressing on the headliner to see if something was loose. For some reason it disappeared. I will check tomorrow.

Could be your rear-view mirror against the windshield... That or it could also be the wire harness that is up in the headliner for your (optional) auto-dimming mirrors.

Yeah, I had this problem with mine when I first got it, about a week later (It's about 3 weeks old, has 1300 miles on the clock) the drivers side weather liner came completely off, something to do with cold weather, dealer thinks. It's going in next week to be fixed and I expect the issue to go away.

Mine is right over my head..if I push up on the headliner above my head it stops.

Rattles right behind my drivers seat.

mine rattles at random times on the back rear of my headliner. Near one of the attachment screws to the roof.

This seems possible, as I'd hit a pothole that jarred the auto-dim mirror loose. After getting it fixed at the dealership, the noise started happening within a week.

However, the timing of this noise also coincided with the first time the weather was under 60F outside on my drive home from work. If I ever get around to installing my sound deadener collecting dust in the garage, I'll definitely take a look.

As everyone else says, my noise stops when applying minimal upward pressure with a finger (though the constant buzz around 1900rpm tempts me to use far greater fist pressure..):mad0259:

mined started doing this as well. has anybody found an easy fix? i know the roof liner is removable, but i'm not sure how to get in the front by the visors.

infinite012 06-08-2013 03:55 PM

I don't have any rattles from the headliner. I have pulled the headliner off and laid RAAMmat all over the place.

just looked into it. seems fairly easy to do.

infinite012 06-08-2013 04:02 PM

Yes. 2 screws on each visor mount, pull down. Then you push a flat head into the front and rear of the clip that holds the visor towards the center of the car and pull that out. There is a single push clip that should be at centerline of the headliner. I think there's also a clip/poppit somewhere up front that clips the headliner into the roof/window frame.

The C pillars yank out easily enough, and there are 3 push clips that line the rear of the headliner. From here, it's fairly straight forward.

Mind the wires and connectors that are near the front for the map light and bluetooth mic (if you have it) and the radio wire that is taped to the headliner.
