Loose trim parts are often behind the various rattling sounds your dash might produce. The plastic and metal bits that make up the surface layer of your dashboard shouldn’t be vibrating against each other. Even more importantly, they shouldn’t be shaking against the internal components that keep them fixed in place. Either way, if they have too much leeway, you’ll have to take it away.I put it on the inner rubber seal interface, on the metal not the rubber, so the seal shuts of against the felt strip rather than the metal work. Hope this helps. To test if you need to do this see if cleaning the seal and I interfaces helps. I used a product recommended on here (Gummi nueflitz or something, I'll confirm if you want to go Down that route). This sorted the seal rattles on mine for a few months. Completely silent! absolute bliss! sound crazy right? You try sleeping in a squeaky bed - not cool!

NVELOPE systems only use the superior 6005 T6 alloy which provides superior strength and performance over and above other commonly used aluminum.I cut a grout sponge (or car wash sponge) into about 4 pieces and stuffed them into the downtube, evenly spaced. No more rattles. Easy to pull out with a flexible claw retrieval tool. Dear reader, you will have guessed by now, that removing the rubber strip didn't make the noise go away and despite having stripped out the whole centre console, poked and prodded and done everything I can think of, it's still there.
