Glovebox Rattle - Really Annoying
« on: February 19, 2012, 01:39:17 pm »
Does anyone else have (or had) a really annoying rattle from their glovebox?

Its been driving me mental, had the aluminium trim off, had the air vents off, tightened the screws behind the console (both sides) but then eventually narrowed it down to the hinge on the bottom left of the glovebox. It stops after its warmed up but tick tick ticks away when its cold.

Can anyone recommend how I might be able to stop it?

Cheers!

What part of the heater is it that could be ticking?

It stops when I open the Glovebox and hold it firmly and then stops completely when the car is warmed up. Its only been happening in winter.

Do you remember what part was doing it? Where did you put the bluetak? Could be worth a try for me!
