Niznits Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I got a LGT. I cant tell but either in the dashboard or the front fender on the driver side there is a rattle. Some days worse then others. The idiots I brought it to had no idea where it was coming from. Anyone have this problem? I was told that some may. If so please let me know and if you know how to fix it, please tell. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm def Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Some will say it's the fuel lines, others willsay the dash is lose and needs to be adjusted. What worked for me was lift up on the left bottom portion of the dash (same thing as dremeling the screw and lifting up/tightening the dash again,)preventing any movement. The cold weather will cause more rattles too, you should see a decrease when it warms up. A little afvice-try to get used to the rattles they will always be there. After 18 months and 35k miles I have finally given up and just keep the radio on. How about an exhaust to help cover the rattles? I think that should help you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rallispec Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 does the rattle sound like it's coming from inside the car, or in the engine bay.. also is it up high (dashboard level) or down lower by your feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dvdt Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 There was also a thread about the washer fluid sprayer too. But most likely its the fuel lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanKen Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 If this is a rattle that sounds like it comes from behind the instrument cluster on the drivers side and sounds like plastic rattling against plastic it is a known issue but there is no tech service buletin on it. A decent Subaru dealer will have recieved what they told me are "tech tips" from Subaru. The fix involves removal of the dash and (re)insulation of dash mount points behind it. They did this on mine and the rattle was 100% fixed. I'm one of those people for whome rattles like this drive me INSANE. I was this >< close to getting another car from another vendor. Luckily for me the service folks at Chaplins Subaru in Bellevue WA have been awesome about this and got the problem taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerpawGT Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 My dash rattle got worse in the cold weather just like so many others. I've located it to the driver side corner at the bottom of the window where the long thin dash piece that goes across the vehicle and the main dash panel come together. I read someplace on the forum earlier that someone used a small clear rubber foot (like the kind you stick to the bottom of small appliances to keep them from sliding around on the counter for example) and wedged it between the thin dash piece and the window to push the dash pieces together tighter. However, I plan to try something different, tonight I found some of that thumb tack putty that you can roll into a small ball. I'm going to try to stick the putty between the two pieces to get them to stick together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boulderguy Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 My glovebox squeeks when it's cold. Goes away after the interior has heated for a while. I greased the rubber feet between the dash & GB, mostly gone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusDubya77 Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I think we all have the rattle..just reminds me that I have a first year redesign.. :woowoo:check out the Diamond Gray Metallic Monster!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterJMC Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 My dash rattle is driver side by the a-pillar. Sounds like a a freakin baby rattle, only happens on cold days though. It's an easy fix, place your right hand on the dash and wedge your fingers between the a pillar and dash. Problem solved till the car gets warm.
