My car, a few months ago, was hit on the side while it was parked. This crushed
in the two driver side doors, rear bumper, side mirror and messed up the front
bumper. About five grand in damage from a pretty strong sideswipe. I give them
props for managing to do that by taking a turn in a neighborhood too fast (I live on
a corner house)

Anyway, I got it all repaired so it looks great again, but once in awhile while driving,
there is a rattling. It's only when the car is being bumped a little due to the road, so
I know it's something loose and not something wrong with any parts. From inside, it
sounds like the rattle comes from the driver side rear.

I got it fixed at the Honda dealership, so I don't know what to say. At high speeds, it
even sounds like a window is cracked open even though they are all up.

Hopefully you can help me! Let me know what to check.

i would take it back to the dealer that fixed it and have them look over it again. if they missed something, they should be responsible.

It's been a few months, do you think they would still allow me to come back and
get that checked?

You can't hear it outside the car... I am thinking it may be a panel
for the door or something... I'll stop by the dealership and get that
checked out.

You guys are gonna kill me...

My spare tire wasnt clasped down in the well beneath
the trunk, and my jack and tools were down there with
it... that's what was rattling... Gosh...

Thanks for the support anyway... next time, I am going
to double check before I embarass myself.
