Rattles

As colder weather sets in, expect to hear more rattles. Tires become less pliable and pavement less flexible. Combined with plastics getting harder and shrinking the winter generally means more rattles.

 

I started experiencing a really TERRIBLE rattle yesterday which seemed to be coming from the left side of the dashboard, but it was hard for me to pinpoint it. I was getting really anxious about having such a horrible sounding rattle this early in the car's life. It sounded as if I had left some coins in the small compartment above the steering column whenever there was a lot of bass coming from the radio, but there was nothing in there. I finally found the source of the rattle and it turned out to be coming from my garage opener that's clipped to my sun visor! My solution was to just leave the visor unhooked, but still fully folded upwards and it stopped the rattling I'm so glad I fixed that lol.

 

I have a few pretty bad rattles (7 months, 4500 miles). There's a piece of foam coming out from between the windshield and the dash, and I'm hoping getting that fixed will reduce the rattles...but who knows. There's one that comes from the passenger door, but only when someone is sitting in the passenger seat, which I find odd... I do wonder if going over 20+ speed bumps every day has made it worse than it would be otherwise.

 

Yeah I've been hearing rattles too form the passenger side I pretty convinced its the glove box So I just push it up and some of the rattles quit.
