[s-cars] Drivers side door wind noise at speed

[James Bowes]

That's a darn good point you made earlier about the sunroof slider making a 
rattling noise.. it's driving me nuts, but I haven't a clue how to get in 
there and add some Dynomat without taking off the whole headliner. Anyone 
have any ideas?

I've got one more spot, which is coming from the gauge cluster. Apparently 
it's rattling around a little in the dash. It took some trial and error, but 
to fix it I pulled out the cluster and added some velcro to the top of the 
cluster (just the "fuzzy" side of the velcro, not the hook side). This made 
everything a little more snug.
