Hi guys
i have started hearing some plastic rattling around the glove compartment (behind the dashboard ) .... mostly when im goin 130-140km/h and i accelerate ... i alrdy had my locally hyundai dealership look at it... and they tried with some tape( stick on both sides) dunno the correct word.... and it helped a bit... but not for long....
any had this problem too?
it drives me crazy :(
thz :)

They used double-sided tape to try & fix it? Thats just wrong!
A mate of mine just got a new Holden Captiva about a month before I got my i30. He heard some rattling & took it to the dealer to fix. They tore the dashboard apart trying to find it only to discover the rattle was actually coming from under the drivers seat :rolleyes: :lol:. Problem is they managed to break several parts of the dashboard & now he is waiting on parts so they can fix what they broke.

i have exactly the same thing.. a reasonably high pitched buzz or rattle around the glovebox.. a couple of other noises too coming from various places.. all sound like plastic rattles. only done 9000km and it is driving us nuts!

I've got a little buzzy rattle near my glovebox but I've got a lot jammed in there .. next time I give her a "tart" up I'm going to test it with nothing floating around..

Hi m8
yeah they tried fix it with tape.... I know from experiance that these rattling/buzz its hard to fix those issues... so i told the mechanic im was open minded about how he fix it, and it did work for like 14days or so , but now its back.
I think it depends on temperatures... it seems to be less when its cold but im not sure it just annoys me so much now :mad:

im sorry to hear u have the same rattling issue... take it to ur dealership and have em take a look... 9000km aint much.... my have gone 50000km just for u to compare... if u get this fixed let us know
cheers

I had the buzzy glovebox and cured it by removing the binder containing the manual and service records. It would appear that the glovebox doesn't really like having much weight in it. :'(

Cured my buzzing glovebox by removing the bees! Now I have a buzzing in the boot. :razz:

i have the same noise somewhere around glovebox but when i told a friend of mine to stick his ear to find the source, he said more probably the noise came from the door. If i pull the plastic from the co-drivers door i hear some rattling though nothing happens if i do the same to the driver door.
The noise is very annoying and i hear it when the road quality is bad.. even with 30km/h
Has anyone find some of solution of this?

Have you tried getting the dealer to fix under warranty?

The trouble with rattles is identifying their source - our i30 had one as the engine passed though 3000 RPM, and I was convinced it was from the passenger door. My daughter heard it, but to her it was coming from the high level storage box.
When she removed my wife's sunglasses, the rattle stopped.

I have stuff everywhere in my car at the moment and the wife and I have different opinions where the noise in my dash is coming from .. (I'll have to take everything out and put it back one by one!) :rolleyes:
-
I too had the buzzing glovebox. Wife would gently hold it - would stop. I put a little grease behind the locking latch thingies that hold it closed - went away for about 6 months and now its back. Gunna bring it up at the next service.

I have a bit of a rattle between the two front wheels, but I am pretty sure that's where all the torque comes from! :D

Yeah.. I have that but it goes away when the engine warms up... :wink:

I too have noted a high-pitched buzz type rattle from around the glovebox which occurs mainly when driving over coarse road surfacing.
Inside the glovebox there are two, one for each side, plastic grommet inserts with which the bolts on the glovebox door locate into. These grommets are loose to the surrounding plastic bodywork and look the most likely candidates to be causing the problem. I've taped them up ready to test for effectiveness when I next drive the car.

Thanks iThurT that's a useful observation
(PS, is that some new engine technology you list underneath your avatar? "CDRi 1.6" :P :D)

Oh dear!!!

Thanks Mick.. I must check that out.. I would love to silence my buzzing..

I told you how to silence the buzzing Dazz, remove all the crap from the box :lol: :lol:

But i'm attached to my crap..
and I've got building stuff as well floating around in the car now :D Stanley knives, key chuck for my drill, carpenters pencils .. etc..

Hi
Just had a 40 mile drive and the rattling seems to have stopped!
Now I need to find a way to secure the grommets without any unsightly insulation tape.
A small amount of packing between them and the main bodywork would stop any movement and they obviously just 'clip' into the surrounding plastic bodywork during assembly but it might not be possible to remove them again without causing damage.
Does anyone know how to remove these at all?
Mick
-
I haven't had a chance to check these grommets out .. no time and too much crap to move ..but..
Could you squirt some silicon sealer around them.. (it is flexible and can be removed later if necessary..)
-
Or Blu-tac maybe?
-
It seems that the grommet 'fix' was a false dawn. :rolleyes:
The buzz is still there on certain coarse surfaces and it seems to be coming from within the glovebox door itself.
More specifically, it appears to be coming from the L/H (passenger window) side of the door and is possibly the bolt which fits into the L/H grommet. Further investigation is required!

soooooooooo...
found out today that the rattling glovebox problem is known by hyundai as coming from a series of warped and distorted gloveboxes that don't close properly. mine is going to be replaced under warranty, no real questions asked just a three to four week wait.
-
I have some buzzing from the drivers seat belt adjuster up by my ear - anybody else have this? I usually squeeze the adjuster which shuts it up for a little while

Yeah I do. It's one of a pair I have. Helps me to hear things :P

Thanks for that might have to see if I can get me a replacement too :D

I had that yep, I just took the trim off but couldn't see anything wrong so I put the trim back on and the noise was gone :rolleyes:

Hi
Well, I've finally solved my rattling problem but the cause of it contradicts everything I posted earlier! :-[
I finally traced the noise from the glovebox - around to the surround for the passenger airbag On/Off - then under the glovebox - to the top of the passenger footwell!
Just where the footwell carpet finishes right under the glovebox, there are two plastic lugs each of which have a plastic, foam-backed 'tongue' inserted into them. These are where two separate pieces of the dashboard/bulkhead plastics are joined. I noticed that with the innermost (nearest to gearshift) tongue, its foam backing wasn't poking right through allowing the lug to rattle. The edge of the carpet was just laid over the lug but, was just the right length to hook behind it and then maintain a tension on the lug and stop it rattling. This is what I did and after 100 miles, some on rough roads, the rattle appears to be completely gone. :D
A proper fix would be to also manipulate the foam through the lug but it's quite awkward to get at so I'm hoping the carpet fix is enough.
I would have bet a fortune that the rattle was from the glovebox itself and it shows how sound resonates from the unlikeliest of sources. It's definitely worth investigation for those with a 'glovebox' rattle.

Great sleuthin' Mick :D

Gr8 ... Thanks (I will have to try that - when I get time :D

Thanks mate, I'll check it out tomorrow. Speaking of rough roads, the other day I was following my GPS thru a semi-rural area when I found the road turned to gravel. About 30km to back track to get around it so I forged on, as I was heading for an appointment. Well the road deteriorated substantially until I was going on dirt roads thru a pine plantation! There was rednecks riding motorbikes, emu's crossing the road - burnt out stolen cars - the works! ESP cut in a few times when I was trying to avoid potholes, but she handled the whole ordeal with ease. I'd just polished the car as well! So my nice clean paint wasnt clean anymore, and the 'glovebox' rattle is back with a vengeance.

My rattle was coming from the rear vision mirror, will get it replaced in the next service i think, for now its a big blob of blutack keeping it nice and silent
