Just this past week, I've been noticing a VERY annoyin rattle which sounds like is coming from the passenger dash area. It literally sounds like something is bopping around in the glove compartment, although I've completely cleaned it out in attempt to pinpoint the problem. It only sounds when going over bumps, which is rather frequent in the area.

Again, it's just sounds like a piece of plastic bopping around in the dash; however, it is possible it's coming from the passenger-side door. Any suggestions or ideas before I start tearin things apart? Thanks!

 

Have a passenger troubleshoot while you drive.

Preferably a thin, attractive female who is very limber. She will be able to contort (maybe upside-down?) and find this problem.

 

Quite the jokester this evening, Maxcichon. Haha

 

No, I was serious! Have someone that can move around sit in the passenger seat and listen while you drive! If they can stick their head in places you can't, maybe the problem spot can be isolated.

And if you are lucky, the problem spot will be the bottom of the steering wheel.

 

Check the cabin filter and fan for anything that might be loose in the area.... they are right behind the glove box and easy to get to. Maybe the latched cover for one of these is loose and rattling..or there is something laying in there... if nothing else, you will be able to clean out any loose debrise that has fallen down in there.....

 

Max that is hilarious, now if you would only answer your email or PMs

 

I've got a hunch that it may be the glovebox itself as it feels loose. Could anyone fill me in on how to tighten it up? Thanks!

 

i have this problem as well. its more like a popping sound to me though. if anyone has a solution or any idea as to what this might be your help would be greatly appreiciated.

thanks in advance.
