It aint easy.

Start by taking the dash all apart and go for a ride.

Have a friend drive.

Look for rattles and make notes on how to fix them.

Reinstall a few pieces and go for another ride.

Lather, rinse repeat.

Re: Dash rattles

subframe connectors help a lot. Beyond that, get some pieces of foam and stuff them between the dash pad and the underneath where it contacts, it will take a lot of time, but trial and error.

Re: Dash rattles

you just need a socket and some time. just tighten everything up. but be careful, the dash can be fragile.

Re: Dash rattles

Dash-rattles in F-bodies give them character...kinda like the characters in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy....straight-up gay.
