Rattle behind the dash

(1/3) > >>

Lyall:
As above ever since I've fitted my itg and went revo I'm getting a rattling behind the dash. Anyone had this before ?

bacillus:
Loose heat shield?

Lyall:
Sound like the dash is rattling , however will try that mate !

monte:
I know Exactly what it is matey  :happy2:

I have manage to locate 3 rattles on separate occasions.

Open the drivers door and open the panel on the side of the dash. (near door hinge)

1. Next to the fuse board check all the nuts and torx screws as they tend to work loose.

2. Do the same on the passenger side panel as there were loose torx screws in there too.

3. Last of all, and this was the hardest to locate as I would never have thought it was the cause. The sunblind hinges. They have a screw into the roof that works loose.


Since doing these my car is now Totally rattle free.

....well inside anyway.  :ashamed:
