LongHiway Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Check to see if it is still screwed into the hinge assembly? On my car it's fine, on my wife's car the screws become loose after a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leftcoast74 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Mines fine, sometime the screws in the hinge get loose. Open the console there on the back hinge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTLEGACY007 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Mine ALWAYS rattles, it's so annoying. I've checked every screw on the entire thing. If there's some secret to it, i'd love to know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
06LegacyRBP Posted December 15, 2010 Author Share Posted December 15, 2010 i tighten the 4 screws underneath the cover seems to be better now, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTTuner Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Put some foam pads under the front edge of the cover to hold it tighter when latched. Had the same issue, this fixed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongHiway Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 i tighten the 4 screws underneath the cover seems to be better now, thanks! I've been tempted to use Locktite since they seem to loosen every 6 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibr_adam09 Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 The button that extends my arm rest up rattles. Any fix for that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuroid Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 The button that extends my arm rest up rattles. Any fix for that ? I just fixed this. Upon closer inspection, I slid a very small slice of sound dampening material and wedged it between the top of the armrest and the button itself. I used Dynamat Extreme which is naturally sticky. I also inserted it from the outside (as you would as if you were going to push the button. I needed to use my knife to push it in, but I found the button mechanism still worked and it quieted down the rattle. Since it's entirely inserted, it isn't visible either and not an eyesore. I had already placed a few more slices of Dynamat on the underside of the arm rest, but it was this darn button that was the culprit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RabidWombat Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I've been tempted to use Locktite since they seem to loosen every 6 months. I'm definitely using Loctite on those suckers. All 4 fell out of the compartment on my wife's 08 Impreza, and 2 have fallen out of my LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
