Default Overhead, center console rattling....

It's really loud and consistent and it's drivng me f'ing nuts. Coming from light, sunroof **** area.

Is this specific rattle common? How do I fix it? Is this something dealer should fix at 10k service? The rattling is worst when I play the stereo louder. Something is loose up there, at first I thought it was a blown speaker or loose grill.

thanks in advance.

Default There was a good writeup in this forum about that...

Cause of noise is coming from the bulbs rattling in their sockets. Solution is to tape them down (on the inside) with electrical tape. Don't remember the keyword to search, but there should be something here. You might want to suggest the tape solution to the dealer. =)

Default Sohcrates wrote up a tech article on that.

I had the same problem, but found the buzzing sound went away after adjusting the clips holding the cover in place. Good luck.
