I couldnt figure out what it was, but if i touch the indicator stalk there is no noise, as soon as I let go, it makes a plasticy vibrating noise, its so annoying
Anyone else had this?

I have the same on mine, I finally tracked it down the other day to one of the buttons on the end of the indicator stalk.
Not the check button the one below (BC I think?), as soon as i touch it (really lightly) the rattle stops, I tried touching the check button lightly and the rattle is there.
I ve just got to figure out how to stop it rattling now.
I was thinking a touch of grease on the underside which should keep it moving freely but stop the annoying rattle.
Have a look, see if its coming from the same place.
Any ideas on how to stop the rattling?

I think others have had the stalk replaced -- not sure if there's any other way to fix this...

I have the same problem and when I take it to the dealer to get it fixed they say that they cannot replicate the problem...any suggestions on what I should do?

Easy fix. My CPO had this problem when I bought it. I just got some black foam weather stripping from Home Depot and cut it into 1/4" cubes. I used tweezers to compress them and put two into the hollow in the back of each button. Buttons still work and there is anough pressure to prevent the rattling.
