well i have a terrible rattle in the dash, i know where rattle is its right by where your right knee would be if you were driving, my dad tells me to turn up the radio so i do and i can still hear it, its bothering me so much, should i just start taking the dash apart and putting it back together to keep it from doing it?? HELP ME!

 

The top cap or finish piece is what's causing it. I removed mine and used some foam/tape backed weatherstripping. I used it to line to contact area then reinstalled it. Took the noise right away. Dealership wont fix these things, I had to correct several sources of noises in my 08.

Do a search for shifter change, there's a step by step to removing all the console pieces. Best of luck. I stopped driving the car it got so bad, pissed me off that a BRAND new car rattled and creeked so badly. I just turned 26000 miles

 

i will try that when i have time, i know they wont fix it, the dealership i go to wont fix anything, i have to start going to another one, are there any tricks to take the piece off, does i just snap off or are there screws?

This works wonders on the delta platform's shoddy fit and finish.

 

That's the same stuff I used too. There's a sequence to taking it off. You take the coin tray out, then pull off the bezel around the switches. There's 2 bolts holding the piece in. Do a search, it's easier to see that way.

 

Check around here as there are many threads on how to remove parts of the dash with diagrams.

I used rubber sealant strip material and helicopter tape to stop my noises.

It just takes a little work but it can be done.

Most times it is the parts that are cliped on as they are snug but not as snug as a screwed on part. Plastic on plactic clipped will have noise and often changes witht he weather temps. A little something beteern will solve it most times.

 

Somthings in life are sure things a Chevy a rattle ! My wife calls it the chevy rattle . A Chrysler sounds like your choking a cat when you start it .

 

I've been using double sided tape (like nacademus posted) on my headliner to keep the rattles away, and it works good! I did have a rattle coming from the lower dash near where you're talking, and it was a cover for the steering column of some sort was loose...

 

Hey....Just turn the radio up.[I jest].
Double sided tape and weatherstripping works wonders on rattles. "Moon"

 

I use the crack between the pieces to hold my business cards. Stops the noise and I can easily find a card when needed.
