Default '02 glass rear window rattle

Just under 1,000 miles and the rear window appears to be rattling. It's a very annoying rattle that is evident at highway speeds. Anyone else have this?
Have you done anything to fix it?

Thanks.

there is no obvious rattling from the rear window when I doing 60-80mph. I think you should take your car to the dealer now...

Same here. No matter the speed, no matter if top is up or down, I haven't encountered any rattling sounds. I'm quite happy with my car.

The dealer asked me if I wanted to take out the extended warranty when I bought it. I just smiled and expressed my deep faith in the quality of Japanese workmanship.

This is with the top up. I guess I'll go the dealer route.

not rattles, no problems. of course, I think I've only driven with the top up twice.

on a side note, are you certain that it is in fact the back window. the only reason i ask is that my '01 used to make an annoying rattle if the passenger side seatbelt wasn't properly adjusted. the "tongue" or male component of the clasp (the piece that slides up and down the belt) would rattle against the passenger door and/or seat if it wasn't fastened or adjusted properly. you might want to make a quick check of this.

Is the rear window actually glass or is it hard plastic. I haven't seen one yet execpt in a dealer's showroom with the top down and under the cover.
