Ratteling or rumbeling dashboard

[Sauerländer]

Hello together,

did anybody so far have the issue, that the dashboard made noise? Like a ratteling or rumbeling.
I can hear it, when I'm standing at a traffic light, hitting the brake, engine ideling.
I have got a LHD and the ratteling is from above the gloove compartement. If you put Your hand on the dashboard, it stopps.
No, there is nothing in the compartment causing the noise!

Kind regards Sauerländer

Yes, I've developed that on rough roads. It started after my windscreen was removed and refitted. ( Another story I won't go into.) I assume that the upper dashboard was originally jammed up to the windscreen but now not quite touching. However in the last couple of weeks does appear to have settled down a bit and not being as rattley.
Try stuffing a business card between the dashboard and the windscreen see if that stops it

Eric,

I took a rolled USB cable and squeezed it in the gap between windscreen and dashboard and it gone. Will have to see the service soon, to get it fixed.
