What Causes the Dashboard Rattle in Civic?
1 Answers
The reasons for dashboard rattling are as follows: 1. Plastic mold deviation or installation misalignment: Bumps cause mutual friction and squeezing, producing loose sounds. Locate the source of the noise, identify the friction point, and place rubber padding to block it, which provides good cushioning. If not available, use a piece of car inner tube as a substitute. If the sound is caused by looseness, tighten it first before applying rubber padding. 2. Resonance: When driving on gravel roads, uneven bumpy surfaces, or sometimes during acceleration, a high-frequency buzzing resonance sound may occur near the dashboard area or the passenger-side A-pillar. This is not a low-frequency ticking sound but a high-frequency buzzing, which can definitely be attributed to resonance.
