Rattling Noise Behind Instrument Cluster

buenor

Hello all,

I know this is an old thread, but I think it's worth mentioning that this solution is really useful.

For a long time, I thought the rattle came either from the door or right under the dash and only at certain RPMs. The solution proposed by the dealer usually involved removing the dash. Being old-school I suppose, I preferred to have the small rattle rather than removing the dash and risking more issues.

This week I found this thread and the solution was really simple! The brace would rattle even when I tapped the bracket. In my case, I didn't bend the metal, I just placed some pipe insulation between the two pieces that rattle and problem solved.

I wanted to say thanks not only for finding the problem but for adding the photos to help locate it.
