Alright, I bought my GS used with 10,000 miles a few weeks back, and I have had no real problems. However, I'm interested in hearing from you guys about the long-term experience with the Regal's interior.
So far, the only rattle I've had is in the seat belt adjuster that's located on the beam next to the driver's head. Easy fix, just put a tiny piece of cloth between the casing and the button.
Anyone else had rattles, and if so, where was it, and how'd you fix it (if possible)?
 
I had a rattle around the blue tooth mic. I took it to the dealer but that didn't help. I decided it was the gray plastic cover that was making the noise. I cut a small slice of rubber off of an old ear piece from a stethoscope. (Yes I made sure it was clean). Slid it between the blue tooth cover and the adjacent one. Color matched perfectly so it is hardly noticeable.
 
the only noise i notice on my '12 is the sometimes clunky sounding suspension (which seems normal for the regal). 🙂
 
I plan on making a more permanent fix for the seat belt. Lancer, while I'm at the store later I'm gonna pick up some very thin felt tape to put between the button and casing. I'll let you know how it goes.
 
I've got what is either the sunroof sunshade or the headliner in that same general area that rattles or buzzes at times, and of course the ever-present creaky center console.
