Dashboard Rattle

Anyone else hearing anything rattling in their dashboard area. I finally get the headliner to stop making noise now the dashboard does....as well as the door panels. This vehicle makes me everytime I get in it now.

It's probably the upper glove box.Open it while you're driving and see if the noise goes away.

I tried that even took everything out and it still did it. If I push on things while I drive it remains, just can't find the dang rattle. Funny when I brought it in for the headliner the guy goes I don't hear the rattling above but I do hear something in the dash. Don't you think they would have fixed that if they heard it they didn't even touch it. I don't understand if you don't tell them to fix something they will not.

Get someone else to drive the car around for a while and just start putting pressure on areas that you think the sound is comeing from. Make the car silent, no radio, vents, or windows. Should be able to find it.

True-- I had some sort of dead bug under the hood that sure as heck was not from these parts for sure....big old nasty thing that had to come from somewhere in the southwest..

nah...for me, it's the right side of the waterfall, just above where the small fuse panel cover is....and only on real bumpy roads.

I simply introduce the volume knob on the radio.
