TSiWRX Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 sutter2k, Other members have reported this - I *believe* that the fix was to take it to the dealership and to have them install a new spring for the button. However, I cannot 100% guaranty that my recall on this issue is correct, you'll want to do a search to verify. <-- I love Winky, my "periwinkle" (ABP) LGT! - Allen / Usual Suspect "DumboRAT" / One of the Three Stooges '16 Outback, '16 WRX, 7th Subaru Family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raz-0 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 me too i get a vibration like noise below 3k, somewhere around the A-pillar if it is passenger side a-pillar and a tapping/knocking sound over bumps, check the weather stripping on the black plastic pieces at the base of the windshield on the exterior.

emorphien Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 This one sounds like the fuel lines vibrating. I wrapped mine with carpet padding, problem solved I've noticed this as well but it's infrequent at best. Its muted but it is a quiet rattle (not a very mechanical sound) and I can only assume its something jingling about in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eL GaTo Posted November 8, 2005 Share Posted November 8, 2005 I just dremeled the hole. I'll see if the noise is there tomorrow on the way to work, since I always heard the noise driving to work. I'll post the result when I get into work. If you didn't find the rattle, I was gonna tell you not to go to work at all . Good job, I will try it this weekend. :icon_bigg "Remember..."MODDING is a HOBBY:icon_bigg, not a BAAAD HABIT";) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euclid Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Found this thread by searching. Yesterday my car began suffering from a rattle/rubbing noise coming from the driver side, up where the left corner of the dash meets with the A pillar. I can even "move" the dash back and forth (by pushing and pulling the dash cluster "lip" behind the steering wheel) and recreate the rattle, but it also rattles every time over very rough pavement. Does anyone have pics of the rattle fix? thanks. I have the same rattle, I took it in to the dealer and their solution was to put black silicon caulk between the dash and windshield :rollseyes: this didn't do fix it at all. I'm going to try what's in this thread tonight and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmm def Posted November 14, 2005 Share Posted November 14, 2005 Same rattle here, pushing down on the dash when I drive stops the plastic rattle/vibration. My car has done it for 31k miles. I gave up but now after reading this I'll go snoop around some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euclid Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Ok, last night I pulled the side plastic off and the plastic clip was completely broken. I found a large metal washer and screwed that down so it it snugly holding the dash against the megal retainer. This seems to have stopped the rattle comlpetely. I'll have to give it a few days of driving to see if it really has worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warteaufmich Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think we're talking about the screw to the right of the "W31" in this pic: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawGT Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think we're talking about the screw to the right of the "W31" in this pic: Much better pic, thanks. My rattle however is where the dash meets the windshield (kind a by that small vent by the windshield) and it happens on both driver and passenger's side. It's like the dash is loose. PITA. Pushing down on on the dash at that point recreates the rattle/squeek every time and so does just pulling/pushing the instrument cluster back and forth. It sounds like plastic rubbing plastic. Annoying as hell. If anybody finds a fix for this be sure to post it. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleBlueGT Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Same rattle as LawGT, no fix yet, but working on it. Full tune of 68HTA, KSTech 73 MAF, Racer X FMIC and ID1000s................by the DataLog Mafia!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emorphien Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Ahh interesting. I don't seem to have that rattle, instead its the adjustable vent center frame that gets just the slightest bit loose and jiggly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 My rattle however is where the dash meets the windshield (kind a by that small vent by the windshield)... If anybody finds a fix for this be sure to post it. thanks. I stacked two self-adhesive polypropylene bumper pads together and then wedged them in the gap between the dash and the windshield. It doesn't fix the actual cause of the rattle but it does stop it by keeping slight pressure on the dash, keeping it from vibrating. Now that it's silenced, I've started hearing another rattle from somewhere around the front passenger door that I'll have to concentrate on tracking down.

Nine9time Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Now that it's silenced, I've started hearing another rattle from somewhere around the front passenger door that I'll have to concentrate on tracking down. I have the same one. I thought it was the cold temps now. I put the wondow down just enough to take the pressure off, (still closed) and the rattle stopped.

oister Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 How about this: my cruise control button on the stalk is rattling. And looking at the stalk, there doesn't seem to be a way to disassemble the cruise control button to silence that rattle....weak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerpawGT Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 For the center vent/cubby module, I tried a fix suggested by someone awhile back. I added pieces of friction tape on each of the four sides of the dash then popped the module back in. Now it holds real tight and the rattles gone, even on the rutted dirt roads. At first I wasn't sure where to find friction tape at Home Depot, but then spotted it in the electrical area with the rolls of electrical tape.

mjcdriscoll Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 i had a rattle that sounded like it was from the corner to the midway point of the instrument cluster. Brought the car in for the 15K maintenance & the dealer (john elway) said it was a known problem. They replaced the windshield (which was great bc my wife got a chip in it w/in the 1 2 months) & put new wipers on for free!!!!!! I also got the car back the same day. You don't hear it often, but man I actually like my dealer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topspin Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Hello all. I have had my LGT Limited in 3 times around this issue, without resolution. I took your thread to the dealer and they tried it as well as some other things and NO MORE RATTLES. My buyers remorse is gone and I love this car. Thanks a bunch, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc51373 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 My rattle sounds like it is coming directly out of the gauge cluster around 2 to 3K RPMS. Does this sound like the rattle that taking the side panel off will fix? Damn I love these forums, you guys are amazing sonza beyotches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myUsername Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 I found that the silver ring around the automatic shifter was the cause of rattling in my car. I just pressed my finger around the ring and rattle stopped. I installed jazzy's aux in board so the rattle could've been my fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc51373 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 Alright, so I removed the panel on the side of the dash that Deerkiller recommended, and low and behold the culprit bolt was fine. Not cracked, everything looked good in there. Then, being the freakin dolt that I am I lost the white clip that secures the bottom third of that side panel for the dash. Now I gotta get a new clip, thing is basically hangin there now. Anyway, my rattle is definately located in the Drivers side of the dash, I think it is the in the guage cluster. Happens between 2-3K RPMS, sounds like a tight rattle, like some plastic gear that is loose or something. Anyone have this? I know it was mentioned? Any fixes? Also, when I had the side panel off I noticed two connectors (white & Green) taped together (blue tape). What are these? I was hoping they had something to do with the volume controls for the steering wheel. I want to scrap my shifting wheel for the volume control wheel. Any help much appreciated. I know one of you geniuses have an answer. Peace out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
