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.

Re: Just for your information
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.

Re: T31 Rattle Source
Thread moved and re-named so it can be easily found using the search engine.

Re: T31 Rattle Source
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
I had a rattle in the back seat area of my x-trail. Turned out to be a kids toy rattling along side the seat... grrrr

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.
