Interior rattle

[rmreid22]

Have the same issue coming from the front passengers side, but I can't seem to pinpoint the exact cause ?

Thought mine was interior on the passenger side for a month. Then I caught the peices of the side view mirror molding rattling against each other. Haven't decided on adhesive or black tape to fix. But that was the source of mine.

Put electrical tape over the two molded pieces of plastic on side view mirror and the rattle has stopped. Like I said I could have sworn it was interior but it wasn't. Searching for permanent fix now.

Hello. I have the same rattle coming from both of my side view mirrors. Seems like the plastic covering is kind of loose. It rattles when I tap on it and rattles when I close the door. Can anyone tell me how to remove the cover from the mirror (without breaking anything)? I think I might be able to insulate the plastic pieces from rattling together if I can get the cover off of the mirror housing. Thanks.

Don't know if this helps or not, but someone linked me this exploded diagram of Ford sideview mirrors a while back.

our 2017 escape rattles at the bottoms of the doors and right in front of the door panels. i read somewhere in the escape forums they put platic pieces in there to cut down on wind but they put them in using the plastic screws that just pop in....and they work loose....only way to fix is to take the door panels and side panels off and remove them. otherwise you hear the noise.
we had the bottom plastic tray on the passenger side fall off going down the road to DC (childrens hospital) when we took our son down....it was raining too....we scraped the plastic panel for couple miles then i was in the underground garage all wet trying to beat it off with my foot.....that was a fun day....

I have 1 or 2 interior rattle near the gauge cluster & steering column. I am pretty sure it's just the plastic panel above the column.

The other sounds like a heat shield on the passenger side & only happens when accelerating, up & down shifts.

Hi Mike! I can look into your Bronco's noise concern on my end. To get started, could you please send a private message over with the name/location of your local Ford dealer and your Bronco's VIN?

Hello. I saw your post about the rattle near the gauge cluster and steering column. I have the same rattle and it is driving me crazy. Did you ever find a fix?

Mine is the dash between the Gauge Cluster and Stereo Screen.If i push down on the Dash in that spot sometimes it goes away entirely and sometimes it doesn't but it's better when you push down on it.

I believe the rattle is coming from the two pieces of plastic that comprise the dashboard behind the screen rubbing against each other. If you look you'll see a gap between the two pieces at the line with the color accent. If you lightly push down on the part of the dash behind the screen the rattle goes away. I permanently fixed it on my car by cutting a strip of felt about 18" X 1/2" and using a trim tool to push it into the gap between the two pieces of plastic. If you're careful with the trim tool you can push the felt in far enough that it's not visible, but it will prevent the two pieces of plastic from touching each other.

Can you post pictures where you placed this felt?Thanks

If you look at the top of your dashboard you'll see a color accent that runs around the bottom of the center screen, then up and over the instrument cluster. In the photo below it is the orange colored piece.

The area I referred to is where that piece contacts the part comprising the dashboard. If pressing on the top piece of your dashboard stops the rattle then it's likely those two pieces of plastic are the culprit. You can use a trim tool to create a gap between the two pieces of plastic to get some sort of cushioning material in there. I used adhesive-backed felt.

Thanks,in your picture above if i push down on the plastic piece above the vent between the Instrument panel and the Stereo Screen sometimes it goes away altogether and sometimes not. But it always helps.
