Hi - Firstly, I have never had a car get so many compliments. It is a pleasure to drive. I have experienced some minor leaks but nothing I can't live with. However, there is a very faint rattling or crackle sound coming from the dash area when the car starts to exceed 70 km or so. It is fairly faint but evident. Especially when the roof and windows are up and no music is playing. Has anyone else experienced this noise?

None so far, but please keep us posted if you find out... no telling if your sound is a "if and when" occurance.

thanks for the heads up.

I have as well, but it does not seem to be speed related; but, in my case, more temperature related. I suspect that when it was well below freezing and very cold outside, the wiring got stiff and brittle and made the noise until the car was fully warmed up. Now, in the warmer weather, it does not seem to be as prevalent.
