I've got a horrible Death Rattle in the upper right dash. I'll probably end up taking it in, but I dread the "we can't hear it" BS I always get from dealers. Can anyone show me how to get the dash apart? What do you put in there to quiet rattles?

 

A torch. Or lots of gasoline and a match.

That's about the only way....

 

Please let me know how it works out. The dash (something under the dash) of mine rattles very bad!

 

That kid can do it his way but here is the proper way.
This is what someone sent me on how to do it. He did it on 2 or 3 HHRs
HHR Dash removal
First take off the front of the waterfall and you will see 2 screws at the top that are part of the dash top, next take out the center storage box and there are 2 more behind there next the screws under the cluster hood and last the 2 nuts on the very long bolts under the airbag inside the dash, there are 2 more screws behind the “A” pillars, take off the pillars and you will see them on the top of the dash. pry up on the dash this is kind of tricky because the airbag is still there so it’s a little awkward to that side and don’t be shy you need to pull and be carfull at the same time.....make sure you unplug the air bag before you do anything all wires are under it and on the wall inside the dash if you have anymore questions feel free to ask.

Pull air bag fuse first.

 

FYI - Usualy when you take it apart and put it back together, it rattles even more !!

 

That's been my experience too.

 

It depends on WHO does the work, mine was removed and put back in and is as good as new.

 

Just squirt expandy foam in all the dash holes...that should stop ALL rattles, even the ones not started yet....................................matter of fact won't rattle even as its passing thru the crusher......

 

Now that sounds interesting. What/where is it?

 

I thought the HHR would biodegrade?
