Dash, Panel And Window Rattles?

[Xizor]

Has anyone ever done anything to try and resolve dash, side panel, and window rattles? I seem to get a new one every month and its slowly sending me insane! I think maybe i need to get my windows re-sealed/rubbered but as for the dash console im at a loss... i guess rip it out and put back in. Can anything be done like think rubber or something inserts to stop this happening?

From what other people have said... turning music up seems to be the common 'solution'.

Easy solution: Just glue some sponge between the bits that are rattling against each other.

Have you done this? More like a dish sponge or foam used to wash car?

Personally no but had a mate take his car to a well respected car audio installer (FHRX) and that's what they did to get rid of dash rattles.

Not sure on what foam/sponge they used.

Mine dont just rattle they squeak it drives me crazy, i thought it was the suspension but i worked out its not, comes from the doors... going to pull it apart to soundproof anyway hopefully ill be able to tape up all the metal window parts that would rubb together drives me NUTS

Mines not to bad but it is slowly getting worse the sponge thing sounds like a good idea but sometimes it hard to know exactly were the rattles are comming from.

Ive got one that I thought was in the glove box. Took the glove box off - still there!! Must be back there deeper Anyone tracked this one down?

On a side note I had another one that was a squeeking noise. Had a look at my headlights and each was missing a nut. When you pushed on them you could hear the squeek. The nuts must have loosened over time ??

I have this full on hardcore creak low in pitch, like sqeaky floorboards, or an old matress (but low pitched).... it's worse when it's cold.. it's so loud that I can feel the vibrations run up the accelerator pedal into my right foot (with shoes on!!!)
