T31 Rattle Source


I've been chasing down a rattle that's slowly been driving me mad for about 4-5 months, from the drivers side it sound like it's coming from the left dash area, from the passengers side sounds like it's coming from the right dash area. I pulled out the center compartment, found nothing, crawled under the dash, found nothing. Checked the plastic moulding running along the wind shield, nothing.

Finally pulled out and the map light assembly in the roof, and so far so good. So if you have a rattle it may be worth a check.

Peter.

omg! I thought I was going mad! I have had a rattle driving me insane for about a month now. sounds like a loose screw or something. I've looked under the glovebox area, consoles. I even took everything out of the car as if it were new to see if I could find it! I'm going straight for the light now! Thank you!

Thanks for that Peter
I had a rattle and found it was a stapler mooving around in the centre dash console.

Maybe you should re name the thread to "Found Rattle" or the like so that others can identify it easily when they do a search.

Had a similar rattle in both the exy and Navara - removed sun glasses from the holder in the same overhead console and rattle gone - TWICE!

Re: T31 Rattle Source


Thanks jalalski for fixing my post.

Anyhow I have slowly been reinstalling the map lamps first making sure the power cord is not rubbing anywhere and the lamp assembly is fully seated, then driving for a while, next securely seating the small center plastic piece followed by the lamp covers.

Will I think it's gone thank goodness.
