Annoying dash board sound

[Jon Jackson]

I think I hit a bad pot hole or something....there's the most annoying sound coming from the passenger side dash board...like styrofoam rubbing on each other or something....

This isn't a quick fix is it? They'll probably have to take the entire thing apart to fix it...

How many hours would you guys guess?

Reason I am asking is that in a month or two I go in for an oil change and also I am going to have them fix a radio issue - I don't get AM at all - not the biggest problem of course but I want it.

What would you guys do?

I've tried slapping the dashboard, applying pressure while someone else drives it etc....can't figure out the source...

I would *definitely* get the alignment checked, asap.

it may be a loose panel where the door and the dash meet. try applying some pressure to the door panel. also check the glove box as one of the holder clips may have shifted.

if they are lexus, they only fix rattles and squeaks for the first 90 days.

Shooting in the dark, but I had a similar noise coming from the passenger side windshield. Passenger side A pillar trim was contacting the windshield when there was concern vibrations from the road. While you hear the noise, I would have a passenger put his/her hands on the A pillar trim piece to see if that stops the noise.

Your noise can be from a completely different source, but it's worth a try since I experienced same type of noise....

Get a bit of silicone lube and hit the area where the panels touch (A pillar to door, door to dash, A pillar to dash, etc.).
