Hello everyone

i am trying to track down interior rattles in the dash of my 2006.
any idea where i should start?
the rattling sound is not all the time
just shows up some times.
sounds like it is somewhere in the center of the dash behind the radio and climate controls.
just trying to get car "perfect" in my mind
sorry about the vague question.

also looking for OEM type leather to recover factory steering wheel...posted details in Interior section.

take care everyone

Check your motor mounts. diff mounts and trans mounts to lead to a bunch of rattles inside the car. If they are leaking they should be replaced.

 

Check mirror, check to make sure spare tire nut is not loose, check wiper plastic cowl, check to make sure nothing loose inside car storage, no cables loose if you have after market stereo, dash cam etc...

 

Check if the cabin air filter was placed properly.Also good reason to replace it if dirty..

 

I had a rattle that seemed to come from the dash. Turned out that it was the stops on the inside of the sun visors contacting the windshield frame. I put leather covers on the sun visors and that took care of the rattle.

I tracked the noise in my S to the roof latches.
Sounded at first like it was coming from the dash, but it was not.
The latches have a part that vibrates. I fixed it with a little bit of bicycle handlebar tape about 5 years ago.
Haven't heard a rattle since.
