Does anybody have interior panels rattling as they drive or sit and idle? I have a couple of panels that drive me insane. Are there any fixes for this, as I think new panels would still rattle? I have thought about stuffing material between panels. Any other ideas? Anything that has been proven to work? Peace.

Maybe try some adhesive backed foam strips, like 1/16" thick ones? might just deaden the sound. |

I have had a stupid rattle behind the glovebox area for a couple years now. It can only be heard if I hit a good bump. Makes me crazy. It is pretty high up, like in the airbag area. Sounds more like a cable or heavy wire bundle slapping against the back of things. I live with it. Sometimes, if you go exploring, you can make things worse and get even more rattles. |

Remove the engine cover temporarily and drive with removed for a few miles and see if the noise goes away. Have you tried securing your transmission dipstick? Mine was hittingthe back of the firewall. I solved my rattle by bending the dip stick just a little inward so that it would not touch the engine cover or the firewall thn secured into the tube. |

Thanks. I've done all that. My tranny dipstick trys to walk out on me. I have it kind of tucked in under the engine cover now. The noise is definitely in the passenger compartment. Most of the time, it is silent, then when we hit a bump, say hello to my little friend. |
