rattle from air vent on dash

[drewesq]

So, I have a slight rattle which sounds like it is coming from under that funny vent on the top of the dash... anyone else had this?

I've had that and narrowed it down to the stereo being slightly loose in it's fixings and the sound is travelling directly up. Makes sense as it's the closest place for the sound to come out of. Hope that helps mate.

Also you can prise that vent off quite easily to check to see if there's any parts in there rattling :)

If something isn't bolted down securely in the zed it will rattle ;)

took me 2 years to finally realise it was my rear view mirror
going to fix it at weekend, just needs some padding placed behind glass

2 years?! Haha, that would have driven me mental! I fancy an auto dimming one from a 75/ZT but I don't know how to fit one!

You need to change the lump on the windscreen to a BMW style one and connect the power.

My rear view mirror does that too, took ages to work out where the noise was coming from. It on an ever growing list of things to fix!

my rear view did do it till i wedged part of a rizla packet into the bottom corner as a short term fix.
That was 4 months ago thanks for reminding me to fix it :whistle::blush: lol

So, is it just a case of getting a small screwdriver in there and popping it out?

on this new one of ours it took me about 3 weeks to work out where the rattle was from and just like above, it was the rear view mirror, just took it apart and put double sided tape on it, couldnt listen to my music loud as it would do your nut in!

seems as it is coming from the stereo. I didn't push the cage clips up when I installed, will fix this week... Don't think I still have the security pins for the sony head unit though.,.. d'oh!
