The rattle in the B pillar drivers side is starting to drive me insane. At my next oil change they are going to look at that and the dash rattle near the driver's side air vent. They removed the dash and the rattle came back a few days later! I link it to cold weather but still!

For those who did the DIY for the center speaker dash rattle, how long did it take you to do this? Was it hard? I'm seriously debating it to do it myself as I don't trust the dealer with it.

Are there any docs or is there any info you can provide to remove the dash?

Underneath the front passenger side seat rattles too. I think I might remove that as well and check it out.

Thanks

Does it seem like people with Navi complain about the dashboard rattle and people w/o Navi dont have any dashboard rattles?

I dont know Navi and my IS is rattle free.

Thanks, I was looking right at it but didn't notice the date on the top right corner. Born in August 06. What a coincidence, I was born in August as well. I don't rattle, I only creak. So far the car does neither.

I unhooked mine from the bottom and side, flipped it over on its back and use it that way ..... no more creaking. No amount of snapping, pushing or pulling on it in its proper position would keep it quiet. Up-side-down it stays!

Do the majority of those who voted for "no creaks or rattles" live in warmer climates? I noticed my dash creaks a lot more based on temp.

Aug 06', Driver's window rattle at 1k miles. Dealer damaged the car and could not fix. That was the last time I take my car to the dealer!

I am over it now, I just turn up the radio. hahahaha....

08/06 Build Date

Passenger Window rattle(most likely from tint)
Sunroof Rattle(had a tech drive with me, noticed it, sounded like a piece of metal pinging and hitting some other metal). Went away on its own.

Tech said warm weather helps get rid of rattles/squeaks. Good thing my IS is garaged and the Bay Area has warm weather.

mine was from the sunroof. I could hear it more when I pulled the moonroof shade open. At first I couldn't figure out where it was from, but then I just pulled the moonroof shade open(moonroof was still closed so no extra noise), and I could definitely conclude it was the sunroof. But it went away.
