Rattle coming from dash

[MantisTaboggin1975]

I have an annoying rattle coming from what sounds like its in the gauge cluster. Been doing it for a while but I'm not sure I want the dealer tearing my whole dash apart and possibly making it worse. It's not from the light switch because the fix was for the 15's. Anyone else have this issue and did you get it fixed? Thanks,

Tons of rattles in my dash, got real bad when I moved to Colorado which has god awful roads....havent really bothered with dealer yet since Im worried theyll just make things worse...I usually just punch it and it goes away for awhile.

bruh mine just started doing this too! Sounds like it is right behind the dash but nothing I press on makes it go away. So annoying!

For me it seems to move around, sometimes its the plastic around the ac vents but lately its been on the passenger side which has been tough to find... i just crank the music and drown it out!

I don't believe your warranty covers squeaks and rattles. My dashboard sounds like an orchestra of rattles.

I have the same rattle around the center vents. If I push it up with my hand, it goes away. I wonder if I can just take the silver trim off and add felt behind it.

I have it too... I thought it was a feature of these?

Here, too. For two years I've been chasing various squeaks and rattles. It's really disappointing.

I have some interior rattles too. Took it to the dealer and they said they couldn't hear them. I'm pretty much done with the local dealer unless I absolutely have to go.

I put some sound absorption mat in the rear floor and trunk areas of my car. Big reduction in road noise. I will probably continue working my way forward with it and possibly tear into the dash at some point to eliminate the rattles.

I have the same thing right above the screen. Took the dash panel off and everything has felt where it makes contact with the dash. Added a few small pieces and it didn't help one bit. My guess is it's the gauges themselves or the trim rings rattling at certain RPM's, Drives me insane

Have you tried driving around with that trim off see if it's something else?

Not my car in the picture but I did this cheap mod of putting welt piping on my dash and it actually took away a couple of rattles in my dash and it's a cheap mod.
Just a thought

Not yet. Good idea! I'm 90% sure it has something to with that panel and or the contact it makes with the dash. I'm leery of taking it off many more times since those clips are super fragile. At a certain point I feel I'll just be adding to the rattles instead of fixing anything.

I feel like if I push the trim up by the radio trim, the rattle stop.
It's very possible that two pieces of plastic are rubbing against each other in that area.

Have the same minor rattle there too. The big one is from the chrome piece around the auto shifter. Took forever to figure out it was coming from there.
