Rattling noise in the cabin

taftjr · 07-21-2009, 04:28 PM

I too have had a rattle at times. I think it is the lower glove box. When I put my hand on it and press while driving it goes away.
I have not had time to have it looked at as of yet.

I have a rattle that is caused by the passenger seat vibrating at higher speeds rubbing against the middle console...

Try tapping on the upper glove box. Being all plastic it is basically an echo chamber when empty.

I believe the latches on the lid could be causing a slight rattle.

I have a rattle that comes from the passenger seat on my 2010 on long trips but as soon as wife goes to sleep on the trip it goes away.

Please be aware of the high cost of ongoing maintenance if you opt for the Trunk Monkey after-market accessory. I had one on my BMW and was amazed at the monthly feed and vet bills. Traded the car for my Prius and have never looked back. Hope the new owner is enjoying this extra cost option on the bimmer.

I have a dash rattle on the passenger side. I emptied both glove boxes and it's still there. It started a week or so after I took delivery.

This is quite an amazing thread. So many of us have had the same rattle. For me, it seems to go away when I rearrange the few things in the glove box. But we had it the first full day we drove it. If so many of us have a rattle in the same place, obviously there is something that needs to be tightened or rethought.

I feel like the rattle I have is coming from the rear passenger side seat or the cargo cover back there? Is this a common one too?
