Hi Jeepers
If any of you guyz are like me you hate anything rattling on ya heap!!!!
I spent 30min the other day chasing what turned out to be the batteries in my mag light rattling - I know I have a problem lol need to take my meds LoL

Driving back to Adelaide from Australia's biggest motor museum I was forced to pull over in 39degC heat and search for another annoying rattle!! :(

after tapping and knocking every flare, guard and body panel I found the culprit!

It was the cabin air intake and wiper motor cover trim / panel. it was vibrating like a biotch on every bump and undulation I drove over :( - its a quick and easy fix!

1. Remove wipers by pulling plastic cover forward to reveal wiper lock nut .

2. Remove the 4 plastic Christmas tree type fasteners

3. Remove the 4 hex? head bolts - be carefull when replacing them as they are big girls blouses.

4. carefully pull cover trim forward just enough to clear the wiper shafts then up and out!

5. I used double sided tape - im sure there are better ways to stop vibration - if you are a panel beater or similar guru pls post up a reply!

6. re install - be careful to re align the wipers correctly and voila - no more anoying rattle

cheers Hunty

 

I'm checking this out this weekend. If its my rattle, ur getting a frigging Christmas card next year.

 

Ha! That's awesome.... Most would just turn the radio up. Good job!

 

Hmmmm... I wonder if that's the rattle I've hearing. Mine seems to be worse when it's cold. Might have to give this a shot.

Thanks for posting!!

 

I spent a year being twisted about this darn rattle. Last week I stuffed a pice of plastic under the intake area. I need to do this. Much cleaner. Thanks for write-up.

 

Good job . I'm the same way , if I hear a rattle I'm pulling over to find it.
