my window rattles a bit when it is totally up.
I tried looking for these two screws to adjust, but I couldn't locate them.

Car looks good!

Did this today. Works on passenger side. Driver side, same method but I used a breaker bar instead of a closed wrench. Thanks for putting this pic up!

bump an old thread.
I know some of you guys already installed the group n bushings. Does anyone have a picture it?
-
Very nice jproy12!! Like I said, those clips on the firewall is making the noise. I have no idea why the TSB did not address this.........
TSB only did half the job.

Starhm:
Good to hear you got the rattles gone!! I did this back in 08, and the dash has been dead quiet since then!! The plugs in the firewall hole was the killer, and TSB did not address that.
jproy12:
Good luck man! But you won't regret with the result. Like the title said, taking it apart is the correct way of fixing it.
-
what is "side skirt" under?
-
NICE. I am glad people are making more and more products for the Legacy
-
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 themI 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

Actually, it should take less than that. It was my first time. The furthest I went before taking out the dash was changing the cabin air filter. If you know where all the bolts are, you should be faster.
-
The reason why I took off my dash is because I tried other methods, and still not satisfied. I tried the backer rod, but it pops out after a couple of weeks. The plug on the firewall is the problem. In my case, adding insulation to the dash stopped the rattle of the male plug noise (aka TSB fix), but the female plug is still rattling itself against the firewall.

Check these areas first:
-Handbrake
-Something inside the passenger compartment
-the coin tray

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!!

It's easy if you just slide a thin object down to press the clip. Pulling the pillar trim off with no tools is just asking to break it and possibly affect the way the airbag deploys.
I use a screw driver (per vacation pix), and the clip was stuck for some reason to the frame..that's why I said "press", not "pull", haha

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
https://www.dropbox.com/s/335zdcbqvycakre/08.jpg?dl=0
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
https://www.dropbox.com/s/335zdcbqvycakre/05.jpg?dl=0
Finally, put everything back, and rattle is gone!!!!!!!!

i was wondering...since the new 08 WRX uses the same engine as our cars...maybe someone can wait until 2009 when the STI is out, and check if the 6mt tranny might fit into our cars better?

Yes, it is for USDM, which I replaced it with the wood looking versions I had.
And this is for Pre facelift.
