Lately my door panels and dash have started rattling more than usual, and it is really pissing me off. When I push down on the dash the rattling goes away on the dash, but comes back when I release my hand. For the door panels…they just rattle. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix these problems before I go nuts?
CK, is it happening only at idle?

Both at idle and while driving. I know that there is a motor mount problem, and that all autos vibrate at idle, but now it’s rattling.

When my old teg started rattling, I replaced the clips that hold the door panels to the doors which helped a lot.
My dash rattles at idle and I’ve tried tightening the screws to no affect.

I might try getting new clips then, and i wonder if I can put dynomat or somthing under the dashboard to stop it!
By the way, I never new you had an old teg…what happened to it?

Ouch!
Anybody else have any idea’s on whats rattling, or how to fix the rattles?
Expando-foam!!!
got a similar “rattle/squeak”
Yeah my G2 dash rattles too.
When my car is started up during cool mornings (only fall, winter…I live in Toronto) and driven away, there is this blooding annoying squeak/noise coming from inside the dashboard, right behind the kick panel thats under the steering wheel.
The sound it makes is like when you have a plastic back caught on your bicycle wheel (right on the axle, between spokes and frame) and rubs. More like a fast, recurring sound. (theres nothing caught on the wheels…i’ve checked along time ago)
If i push against the kick panel with one or both hands (while i’ m driving) with about 25LBs of force, the sound goes away.
Standing still theres nothing. After about 20-30 minutes of driving, where by the car is fully warmed up, the sound goes away.
Has anybody encountered something like this??

The defroster vent panel.
Yep. Mine is cracked too. That expando-foam clear up the noise?
two words: felt tape
put it anywhere there is a plastic to plastic contact and your interior rattling and vibrations will go down significantly
I just got back from Home Depot with 2 rolls of closed cell foam strip. I’m gonna go crazy with that :getsome: and see how much rattling I can stop…
you’ve got a 10 (at least) year old Honda, it’s gonna rattle…
