Dashboard rattles!

[ahcash]

Have experiencing some rattles on the left handside of the dashboard... next to that little triangle shape alike glass.

The dashboard is quite loose for some reason... try to push it and you can see the gap... What's going on?

Anyone experiencing the same problem?

[jazzpro]

nothing u can do abt it.... normal in all cars that i ve driven.... i would say the least rattle one that i experience was the toyota corolla.... very good...... honda, always rattle after some time... get used to it

ah.cash gor i have the same problem too.

actually there are sound coming from L & R of the dash + the driver side seat belt too.

sometime i can hear 1 rattle, then the 2nd and sometimes all 3. it's like a choir.... driving me nuts.

I don't have a problem with noise and rattles.. it's tight as a submarine. Well, doesn't help with now 290km on the clock... *touchwood*

Tip though... pull it out and put some weathershield tape on the offending parts and use in good quantities. It'd fix the noise... works on my Rattle4.

i think i am beginning to hear it too
but i always on my music very loud, so i seldom hear it. ;D

[ahcash]

;D I thought I am the only one..

Funny though the far left and right hand side of the dashboard is not firmly mounted to the side...

Try to push with your finger and you will know what I mean..

I might take a pix when I got time.. ;D

It happens to me too. it comes from inside the air condition vent on the passenger side. it only happens when I'm on light throttle doing at over 100km though.

I usually punch the glove box and the noise goes away.. I always wonder what happens if the air bag pops out when I punch it hard.. lol

or.. turn up the volume.. nothing a loud speaker won't fix

My car has rattles noice from:
1) Co-Driver side dashboard,
2) driver side dashboard behind the speed reader,
3) Co-Driver side door, like sth hit the window (glass)
4) Center air condition vent

on the 3), i think i alway turn the speaker volume to Max (40), and make the speaker too lose, and hit the window! (i Guess only!)

ok! Let me try Tony's method next time! but i think will need to buy a new glove box cover within one week!
My punch --> <-- glove box cover

Same here~

in my case, sometimes it make some noise like electric current sparking sound around the panel....u know wat i am talking??

Thought I had a rattle but it turned out it was the safety tab on the water bottle in the cup holder.

I notice if the passenger buckle on the seatbelt isn't right when a passenger gets out it knocks against the plastic on the b pillar.

Doors / factory speakers rattle if you crank the stereo.

my car has rattle sound at the left side of the dashboard.. near the small triangle window as well when driving above 100km.. I guess it should be normal.. I can't fix it up as Im driving the car..><~~.. the only thing I could do is volume up my player.. ^^...
