Left side dashboard sound fix

[Stangman21]

Anybody know how to properly pop off the left side dash where the headlights are located?
I can try to figure it out but I'm more likely to break something.

I'm planning to put some foam tape underneath so I can get rid of the rattle sounds that popped up recently.

See pic for reference.

pop off the small piece below it..... you will see the piece you wanna remove is held on by a screw....remove screw and gently remove headlight switch panel.. should take less than a minute,

Thanks! I will definitely do this later today after the rain has settled. Glad I asked online before I attempted to figure it out and break something.

Hey [MENTION=21358]stang1971[/MENTION] which corner of the bottom part do I push off of? I don't want to ruin that panel either. Thanks for the help!

it just snaps in ..... just gently put a butter knife behind it and pry out... super easy

There is an SSM (like TSB) for this rattle.

Any additional details on that SSM?

Never knew there was a TSB type of fix for this? Nevertheless I'm just going to fix it on my own. I've done the glove compartment sound fix so this shouldn't be any different. I'll report back when I get to it later tonight.

SSM 45189 - 2015 Mustang Headlamp Switch Bezel Buzz Or Tick Noise Built On Or Before 4/30/2015

Some 2015 Mustang vehicles may exhibit a buzz or tick noise from the headlamp switch bezel while driving. To address this concern add a 10mm (3/8") x 60mm (2 3/8") piece flocking tape (164-4903) from the Rotunda Squeak and Rattle Kit (164-4900) to the headlamp switch bezel right side edge. Remove the headlamp switch bezel and add the tape to the right side edge folding the tape over the edge at the center of the edge. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), section 417-01 Headlamp Switch Removal and Installation for procedure on bezel removal and installation. Use applicable service labor operations in Section 11 of SLTS manual

[MENTION=17395]ultimate warrior[/MENTION] has some ideas too, from this thread: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1018816

I went through and did this myself.

I broke a white plastic clip on the bottom panel removing it (ones that can be replaced).

Pulled the low left panel off and there is a single screw holding the top bezel on.

After the screw is removed the healdight trim bezel panel pops straight out (is held by 4 clips, 2 plastic, 2 metal on plastic.

After that you can remove the headlight switch controller from the assembly by pressing the plastic tabs down and pushing the assembly outward.

I lined the inner ring around the controller with felt and pressed it back in. It locked in much, much more firmly this time then OEM. I also added some strips of felt around edges of the trim piece.

Will report back.

Cheers.
