Almost on every bump or lane divider reflectors, my dashboard rattle like heck! I know the car is rough riding, but damn, I didn't think the rattles will start this soon! Have about 850mi!

Just because the rough riding....I'm actually thinking that the spring spacers are still there! But I took off all the wheels and looked, and I couldn't find anything in between the springs? Is the spacers very noticeable? What do they look like? Near the top or bottom of the springs?
Thanks for any input!

socal28-

check your rearview mirror. Make sure it's tight. There's been alot of dicussion about this in other threads. Hope that's it, it's a simple fix!

socal28,
This sounds exactly like the problem I was having. Try pulling your passenger side sunvisor down. This worked for me.

I thought my noise was coming from the dash but it was actually the passenger sunvisor. I am going to try ordering some extra rubber spacers from Honda. Right now, I just have my passenger side visor pulled down slightly and there hasn't been any noise.

Also, make sure your it's not the sun visors. My sun visor would rattle/buzz... so I went to Home Deopt and found some felt feet meant for like tables and stuff... little ones... put it on the side with no padding... it stopped.

Hmmm....I know it's not my rear view mirror!
I'll have to check on the visors, but it really sounds like it's coming from the center of the dashboard!
Thanks for the input guys!

Check under the dash to make sure there isn't anything hanging down that is rattling. Also check the plastic around the latches for the roof! It rattles in most every car.
