automaticsti Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 If you have a dash rattle in your legacy and it is still under warranty, bring it in and they should fix it, I just got mine fixed, and it is perfect now, so if you were wondering, it can be done.

automaticsti Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 There was a gromet on the left side of where the upper dash connected to the fire wall, that was bad, which caused it to rub and squek against the firewall. they replaced that and its solid as a rock now.

automaticsti Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 yeah my bad, the moral of the story is bring it in and they will fix it more than likely, just show them where the rattle comes from. and more than likely when you go on a drive with them to demonstrate it wont make a single noise because subaru techs are magical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

941LE Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 Had the dealer fix that very same rattle last Friday (6/10) Didn't say much about what they did, all I know is the rattle is gone and on Subaru's dime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 This was my dealers idea of an acceptable attempt at fixing my dash rattle.. http://celicaman.f0e.net/albums/Legacy/DSCN3689.sized.jpg http://celicaman.f0e.net/albums/Legacy/DSCN3690.sized.jpg Needless to say when I got to my car and saw that I went right back into the dealer and told them that wasn't even close to acceptable. The service manager came out and looked at it and started to laugh and agreed. I removed that caulk and fixed the rattle by tightening the screw on the side of the dash.

941LE Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 My dealer left a couple of dirty fingerprints on the A-pillar and a smudge on the windshield but nothing obscene like that...I'd wonder what kind of work that dealer does in less visable areas if that is there solution to a dash rattle.

Gire Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I found the cause of a bad rattle yesterday that has been bothering me for some time... I thought it had been change rattling around in my change tray, or something in the shift knob / shift boot, but it turned out to be a rattling E-Brake thumb button. I'm not sure what to do in this case... drive around with one hand on the E-Brake and my thumb holding the button so it doesn't rattle? Sheesh... damn rattles!

AWD_Rules3830 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I took my car in today to fix the dash rattle, the Subaru service tech took the car out with me and tried to figured out what was causeing, because of course its not a consistant rattle. He thought it might be body flex. I was told they called up SOA and like i told them, it was a pretty common problem, apperately SOA has a solution for it now because its fixed. NO MORE RATTLE YAY. I love my car ... basically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually started to drive around with my thumb on the button all the time. My solution: a small strip of lead tape (use to add weight to golf club heads) on the underside of the button. I slipped it almost all the way into the handle so you can't see it at all. Completely cured that buzzy rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulgaro Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I had the same dash rattle too. It changes with the outside temperature. I got a lubricant spray and sprayed between the dash and the window. On the right side the noise disappeared alomst the same day. Dammned plastic. WHat I know for sure that the upper dash part is held by bolts in the lower end. At the window end it has plastic clips which cause the noise and the rattle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joon525 Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 Has anyone replaced the dash themselves? I've started a thread in the Interior forum but it's not getting a lot of attention. http://www.legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49344 I looked at the "Vacation Pix" and a new center grommet is expensive from what I remember.
