What Causes the Center Console Rattle in Hyundai Mistra During Winter?
1 Answers
Here are the specific reasons for the center console rattle in Hyundai Mistra during winter: 1. Air vent rattle. Check if the air vents are loose or if a perfume bottle installed in the vent is causing the noise. Tighten the vents or pad the edges with 3M tape. 2. Foreign objects in the center console storage box causing noise, such as lighters, coins, screwdrivers, small wires, etc. 3. Thermal expansion and contraction. Especially in winter, the noise caused during cold starts usually disappears after the car warms up. 4. Loose center console panel. Remove and re-tighten it or wrap tape around the clips to fix the issue. 5. Friction between the A-pillar and windshield causing noise, which can be resolved by padding a layer of felt cloth. 6. Loose connectors or wiring harness in the center console. For vehicles with aftermarket reverse cameras, it might be due to an unplugged connector, improperly secured wiring harness or clips, or even a leftover screw from modifications that rattles with vehicle vibration.
