  1. yep, i'm there visiting friends and getting some food usually on the weekends.

     

    oz ultraleggera wheels and it is an albero bumper.

     

    I meant "seen", not since lol. Nice car, looks great I person.

     

    If you ever see a Black LGT sedan looking like this:

    that's me. I am the only guy with a modified Black LGT in Walnut/RH area.

  2. so for securing the plugs, did you just use foam and double sided tape? is there anything else i should use? also what type of foam did you use?

     

    I just used foam and double side tape. As of today, the car is still rattle free ever since I removed the dash. No need to add insulation or whatever. The foam type is just some soft foam from home depot. Actually, anything you find that can eliminate that "plastic against plastic" noise, you are good.

     

    as for removing the dash, any particular tools needed?

     

    nope, just regular screw drivers

     

    how did you disassemble the clear face in front of the gauges? looks like there are 3 screws according to the "pix" but not sure how you got to them

     

    I don't remember correctly, but there aren't that many screws to hold up the gauge. As for the plastic cover, make sure you REMOVE the plastic cover, take it out from the top hole of the steering wheel, and then remove the gauge. The ENTIRE gauge including the plastic cover will NOT come out (I tried)

     

    hope this helps. I did NOT regret taking it apart at all, and the car is STILL rattle free from the dash :)

  3. Great work! - Dash rattles can be a pain. Ive delt with a few myself but not in a LGT. The 2 I had needed them bad. Sheer midbass was causing an insane buzz near the pass side of dash. Ripped it out, Dynamatted everything metal, and foamed all the mounts. Lovely after that.

     

    Heres a tasty shot of an interior you wouldnt want to deal with.

    Rattle in Murcielago!? WOW!!

  4. Update on Jan 22, 2020. Photobucket pix won't load, so please click on the link for pix.

     

    Here's a thread of the temporary fix. I even tried using a backer rod. However, the backer rod will get "flat" after some weeks, and then pop out.

    Yes, I took it to the dealership, they fixed it according to TSB. However, rattle still remains, and I FOUND THE REASON!

     

    So the only way to fix it is, yes, take it apart.

     

    Hardest:

    - Take out A pillar, you need to press HARD!

    - Take the entire dash out of the car (Remember to unplug the 2 plugs on the passenger side. One is for that tiny thing above, and the other plug is the yellow one I forgot what it was)

    - To take out the gauge, you need to remove the clear cover first. Otherwise, it will not come out from the steering wheel

     

    On to the pix!

    Close up of the driver side "female" plug. This is the REASON why it rattles! TSB fixes ONLY the male plug rattling inside the female. HOWEVER, it still rattles BECAUSE the female plug is loose inside the frame!!!

    Center female plug: this one is blue. Same as the driver and passenger female plug, it is loose. I just put some paddings underneath so it is not loose anymore, and I do not know how to remove it.

    Dealership fixed according to TSB, but it still did not solve it.

    A pic of female and male together

    Because I think the TSB fix is not good enough, I add the "protection" inside the female, so the male plug will not move inside for sure! (this sentence sounds funny...) ALSO, i placed some double sided tape behind the white female plugs on both driver and passenger side. This makes sure the plugs will not rattle inside the frame <--the cause of rattle

    Finally, put everything back, and rattle is gone!!!!!!!! :)

     

    All thanks to: Vacation Pix :)
