Post Most Extreme Elimination (of rattles)

I was having a horrible rattle coming from the trim piece the sun visor is mounted into. Here's how I solved it:

1) Remove the trim piece



2) Apply some automotive carpet padding



3) Replace panels

All noise from this area is completely gone now. If you want the full size pics, check my web site at:

Fix time: 1 hr.

My airbag doesn't rattle, so I haven't done anything with it yet. My next target is to finish deadening the rear tray, which is not quite 100% quiet yet.

If you want, I could grab the diagram out of my service manual on how to remove it. Personally, I wouldn't goof with the airbag too much. My luck it would inflate on me!

I know a guy at the old Mobile High Fi that had one pop in his ear while installing an alarm, he is permantly deaf on one side now. I'll deal with the rattle.
