I have finally stopped my rattle from the dash.......The car is still in warranty until October but I didn't want to go through the whole 'we can't find a rattle' and the 'we have done this and that' only to find that nothing has changed 1 mile down the road.
I was really getting pi**ed off. I am a bit of a perfectionist and while some people aren't bothered by this issue (the wife!) It was spoiling the car for me.
I had previously checked the fuses and fuse cover including fitting some sticky pads, all to no avail. Tonight I took all the trim off under the glove box and had a good look and feel around behind the centre console etc. I thought I had it when I found a bunch of cables that were quite loose. I cable tied them but upon a test drive it was no better.
In the end I free wheeled down my road with the engine off and really listened. I was 100% sure it was from the glove box or behind the central vents but it was the shroud behind the mirror!
It clips together to cover the sensor for the auto wipers. I took it off and left it in the garage and went for a drive up the road. No more rattle! Anyway I have put it back on with some sticky pads and what looked like some black chewing gum which was just sat inside it?? It seems fine. Unbelievable!
