Dashboard noise!

[FlintBuick4Life]

I drove the Regal up-north last weekend and something was rattling in the dash the whole 100+ miles up! so when I got there, I lifted up the plastic on top of the dash and pulled out a sheet of aluminum... that didn't stop it, another 100+ miles back of this noise I get back and looked around again, found a piece of alum. that broke off the other piece when I pulled it out. I thought I had solved it... hell no

The next day I went to Detroit to visit some family(Detroit is a fun place to be in a G-body car) 60+ miles up and another 60+ back, still having this damn noise

It just started this last week... any ideas? I think I will look at the glove box again, I put it back in just before the trip... I checked it once and the noise didn't seem to be coming from it, but it started after installing it. I figured someone has torn a dash apart before and would know what makes it tick(or rattle):biggrin:

Did you try lubing the rubber bump-stop under the hood. It rubs against the bottom rear of the hood and makes all kinds of racket. Put a little grease on it and see if that solves your problem.

You beat me to it Dan. I was going to say the exact same thing.

i got rid of my dash rattle by putting a set of Monte SS front frame braces on the car.

No, I haven't. I will try that out, but I know its coming from inside the car. That might solve some of the other annoying noises tho... like the rubber washers on the upper control arms, I lubed them up and that noise stopped... It sounded like a squeaky bed post.

The stop under the hood sounds like it is in the car center dash.
