Lie495s14 Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The cup holder and armrest storage rattles when going over bumps at high speed on the high way. I hear that rattle on every little bump, it's driving me nuts(sounded like i had a full box of CD cases). lol. The rattle goes away if i apply pressure on the armrest(screws are sure teighten). I unscrewed 2 bolts holding armrest on to the frame, and lift it up when driving over bumps, no more rattling! It is down to fix the problem now. I put cushion between mounting potions of armrest storage box and frame, which didn't fix the rattlling. I believe it's the cup holder making contects with surrounding plastics causing the rattling. I'm unable to take apart the whole armrest storage and cup holder peice, something around E brake is holding it down, i have a 5mt. Can anybody help ?

Hagarr Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I think I have a similiar rattle. I know where it is coming from... The button to raise the armrest. As soon as I put my arm or even finger on it it stops. I just haven't fixed it yet. Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Mine rattles even after i took out the armrest. is your armrest the one with extension? there are 4 little screws holding the armrest, you'll see them if you open the armrest. check to see if they are lose, some people had 3 out of 4 are losen or fall out.

jt51 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I have this buzz/rattle from the sliding top of the cup holder. Can not figure out how to stop it, other than, when it starts, I put pressure on the lip of the sliding top and it stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lie495s14 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Share Posted June 22, 2007 i fixed mine. By taping alot foams inside(I mean everywhere) the center armrest and cupholder. I took out the whole unit, includes seat warmer controler. also tape 2 sides where plastic meets the cartpet. you can find foam tape in homedepot where window section is. 1 roll of thinner tape, and 1 roll of fatter tape will get the job done.
