Rattle/Creaking noise on 458 trying my sanity (video inside)

There have been a few threads in regards to things like this, but not sure if they would apply. I had a freak coming from the A pillar, and the dealer put some foam in there to stabilize it. Seemed to help, but not completely fix the matter. Others had this done as well and were totally cleared. It is certainly annoying to have that going on, but mine was a more metallic sound from what I can tell. Has a dealer looked at it?

 

Your issue sounds exactly like the sound I had, it drove me nuts! I answered a thread regarding the same issue.
Ferrari of Long Island was able to fix mine 100% by using expandable foam in the A pillar. If you want more info, feel free to PM me. Also, if you are located near me, I would be more than happy to listen to it and confirm that it's the same issue.

 

I had the same noise and they wanted to remove the windscreen to add more spot welding. I declined when they said the could not refit the old screen and that I would need to pay for a new one at a cost of $7k (UAE prices are nuts and with no guarantee that the problem would be resolved). I asked support from Ferrari HQ who treated me like a leper for purchasing a used Ferrari...I sold the car very soon after

 

oh man this is painful sorry

 

Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, the noise annoyed me so much that I also would have sold if they weren't able to fix it.
I am very thankful that the dealer took the time and effort to resolve it, because I truly love the car now. It's amazing how much I can be annoyed and hate it if it rattles, and love it so much when it is rattle free. That is one of my pet peeves, and have sold two other cars in the past due to rattles that I couldn't locate / fix.

 

Chris, we have spoken extensively about this. Yours was fixed, but mine persisted. Alas, my 458 is gone...Not because of the rattle, but other cars. It definitely detracted from an otherwise blissful experience. Hopefully the 812 and Pista will not suffer the same ailment.

 

The back of my drivers seat in my 458 rubs on the back of the passenger compartment (I am tall, seat is pushed back) and makes enough noise to drown out any other annoying rattles. Such is life.

 

Adam, yes I remember. Enjoy the 812, and Pista….2 of my most favorite cars that Ferrari produced!

 

I had an awful clicking/popping noise swear it was coming from the headliner area above the mirror. Turned out to be a bad shock or strut mount they had to replace. Sound is gone. Best wishes finding the culprit.

 

Mine was making the same sound and it turned out to be some of the trim in the air vent assembly. Good luck tracking down the problem- these can really drive you crazy!

 

That is a particularly annoying sound. Hope you find a solution. Those windshield stickers are equally offensive but what can you do.

 

I have a clicking noise it comes and goes generally on a smooth road it sometimes occurs bumpy roads its constant with my 458. Did a test drive with Ferrari dealer mechanic he thinks its the strut behind the horizontal carbon fibre across the dash,it's in to rectify in two weeks , I just purchased the 2011 and will be fixed (hopefully)under warranty. It is annoying and spoils the enjoyment of driving the car to the point of wondering if it cant be fixed should I sell the car.YES

 

PM me any time, I'll help the best I can. I know how stressful/scary a first Ferrari can be.
A group of us (approx. 9 to 25 of us depending on the day) get together every Sunday if it is dry (even during winter months) and no other Ferrari event is going on. We get together at Town Bagel in Plainview (Old Country Rd behind dealer. 1133 Old Country Rd, Plainview, NY 11803 ). Look in the New York section of forum under the thread "Ferraris and bagels 2020". We usually confirm if we are going.
