Easy fix dude... just use a non metallic key fob or case. PAG offers several with a leather or fabric loop. Noise annoyance solved and the world is now quiet.

on keys - i just carry a single key on my nurburgring key chain. no rattling to speak of.

on glass - i have used http://www.aquapel.com/ instead of rainx. rainx wears out too quickly and then you're addicted to it. i'm sure ben or edgy have a mystery potion to detox the windows of the residue. aquapel does very, very well for me up here in seattle.

my peeve - after washing the car, if i lower the drivers window i get these huge streaks right by the drivers mirror. sux

My peeve would be classified as the 'lazy seat belt retractor syndrome' (LSBRS). At least 1/2 the time, the clip just lays on the ledge, unretracted. I have to give it some help for it to be reeled back in. Same problem all the way back in my 914. Am I the only one with this problem?
squeek is on inside and windows tinted but i just bought rainex and tried it on one window.. in and out.. figured if it harmed the windows it wouldnt be hard to retint one window... and i can test and see if it cures the squeek problem using the other window as a control and the coated window as variable.
