HELP !!!! Weird banging sound in the trunk
Hey guys, I am a new g37 convertible owner, and found this great website and happy to be apart of this forum. I had the car for about a month now very happy with it, but i am very upset about the rattles and banging sound from the hardtop. I brought the car back to the dealer , it seems they fixed the rattling sound with the service bulletin they had, but my concern here is that i still have a banging sound when the top is down coming from the trunk area. It only happens when going over bumps and its really annoying, it seems like its coming from underneath the rear deck, again its like a banging sound like something could be loose NOT a sqeaking sound. Do you guys have any idea what this could be , Any comments would help

If that isn't it - then either release the monkey, shoot the hooker again, or tie up the midget so they dont make so much noise back there...
Good luck.

Trunk Monkey, semi-dead hookers and midgets are all great guesses but I suspect that the true culprit is the black tonneau cover that raises and lowers and ultimately rests between the rear headrests and the trunk lid when the top is down. Over slow speed bumps this cover can flex a bit and may be making the noise you are hearing. Try pressing down on the trailing edge (closest to the trunk) of the cover and confirm there is some play as the cover depresses about 2-3mm - hold it down in this position and then remove your hand quickly to reproduce the "thud" that you are experiencing.

I took it to the dealer , had the master technician come with me for a test drive and he most definitely heard the sound. After 10 mins on the test drive even he said the noise was becoming very annoying and he had no idea what the problem could be , my cars been sitting at the dealer since Friday , I called them to see how the progress was going and they told me they have yet to find what could be wrong with it , hopefully by Monday I will get an answer, I will keep you guys posted
