a cargo cover might be handy, itll keep whatever it is still and nobody will be able to see what is making the mysterious noise lol

Three noises.

1. A whomping noise from the front end while going slow speeds, not always present either.

2. A squeaky noise when you apply pressure to the brake peddle also coming from the front end.

3. Noise from the hatch constantly.

Relay for the headlight delay (or whatever its called) chatters terribly sometimes right before it kills the lights. Sounds like a cat fight.....or cat fornication....or something like that.....
