Weird rattling sound under/behind the dash?
 

Hello,

I've noticed rattling sound under/behind the front upper dash (seems like behind of air vent) today,
it doesn't rattle all the time but once I hit bump or rough surface road, it comes up.
I couldn't locate where it comes from, so I checked glove box, behind of Nav unit and cluster box to see if there is any loosen wires or something,
but nothing worked, nothing was loosen.
basically it starts when I my LEFT FRONT WHEEL hits bump or rough surface first.
does someone have any idea? :rolleyes:

Thank you for your help :thumbup:

I had the exact same issue years ago when I first picked up my 02 4.6is. Seems the dashboard needed a few rubber grommets. After the dealer put those in, the rattle went away. Everything was fixed under warranty.

Gremlins? :dunno: Sorry i don't have a clue but i couldn't resist. :rofl: :rofl:

Thanks for reply, do you remember what the problem found from dealer or what should I ask them to find out my problem?
I just want to point the problem to them to fix it beside hearing 'we checked, but seems normal' :D

Sorry, this was back in late 2002 so my memory is a bit fuzzy. It did take take a second visit to the stealer with me driving to bring up the issue. I did have the "can't replicate" response initially. Mine too made a "click click" sound near the upper left side of the dashboard when the left front wheel hit a large bump. All I really remember is they took off the top portion of the dash and push in some rubber grommets.

^ Thank you again,
I'll visit my dealershop soon.

No prob. I'll see if I can dig up the paperwork from the visit.

Your X5 looks amazing. Love the mods.

I have the same problem with mine what is the noice. Mine comes from like behind the gps i think

same problem on my 2008 e70, i am clueless. i got so annoyed the other day i ended up spraying slicon between the windshield and dash.
ARe you able to provide some pictures to show where exactly the rubber gromments were placed?
