Has anyone actually solved this rattle? I had a search but no answer of a solution.
-
Over 6 months ago someone mentioned something about gromets or plugs in the firewall under the dash needing to be pushed in tight to fix it but never got around to having a look..
You don't think this might be the same rattle (that just sounds like it is coming from the glovebox??)
-
Possible but after I open the glovebox and close it, the rattle stops for a little while.
-
And if it's the same as mine it stops if you just leave it open. I think it's looseness in the hinge pivots.
-
My glovebox has that buzz, solvable by putting less crap in the glovebox :rolleyes: :wink:
-
Either leave it open or turn up the radio :lol: :lol:
Seriously now:
I remember seeing a bar at the left side which pushes onto a bar.
Check to see if it is fully home
-
I've looked around but couldn't see anythign obvious.
The one that most annoy's me though is the one under/in the dash drivers side as it's constant.
-
I only ever had the buzz in the glovebox area but it was a constant annoyance.. I really should have tried to silence it early in my ownership period. Trouble was it was usually at highway speeds and I'd get home and forget about it until the next trip.. :rolleyes:
-
Has anyone actually solved this rattle?
Is this a global thing :eek:
I have the occasional cringe but a quick open/slam shut solves it
-
It was a feature of my i30 I didn't tell Gowan's Toyota about.. :D
After driving my Hybrid demo around a bit I reckon it was the first thing the Salesman would have noticed when he took the i30 home for a spin.. They didn't test drive it during the trade in negotiations :eek:

Seems like it!

Also, the filter housing for the Air con is behind the glove box.
Could be that the filters are not fully secure.

it could even be the door you can slid open and closed for the chilled glovebox. :idea:
-
neither of those explain why opening and closing it stop it for a little while though.

Dealer had it today but it didn't rattle so they couldn't do anything......

Don't you just hate that :rolleyes: :P

Yep! the little bugger went into hiding..
-
i had a play with it today...
i think if you put a small patch of foam between the glove box (or one of those little stick on rubber pads) so there is a slight bit of tension between the glove box and dash it will go away... ill try something right now actually and let you know how it goes tomorrow!
-
well... i figured out what it is!
its the locking pins for the glove box... they rattle in the glove box door
my soloution that i am trying is, i have stuck 4 1cmx1cmx1cm patches of stick on foam on the glove box door
why, to put a bit of pressure on the door so it cant move, this putting a touch of preassure on teh locking pins and hopefully stopping the rattle!!
failing that it may be the mechanisim in the glove box door, if it is, i may look further into it, but i dobut it... it doesnt annoy me that much, i can live with it... *turns stereo up*
-
Do you mean I sold my Diesel for nothing :rolleyes: BTW.. I think it is sold (not in the yard any more - I must check their website in case just moved to there other yard...) Edit: Moved to Burnie yard ... :lol:
P.S. You will be a Legend if you have fixed "that" buzzy rattle Ian :mrgreen:
-
hahaha!!! *fingers crossed*
we will know tomorrow on my way to work if its fixed or not!
-
I thought it might be that. Will try it. I really want to fix the other one that Ffoxy fixed though!!
-
Hi.
I had that problem few days after pick up mine.
The locking pin nearest to passenger's door was not closing properly.
When I found that, I needed to close it several times strongly.
Actually it's perfect.

my rattle has gone!!!! now the car only really rattles when you labour it (trying to make things rattle)

Bit scary how easy that was to fix :eek: (I have plenty of those sticky felt pads :rolleyes:)
-
you want something thicker than a stick on felt pad!!
-
I'm feeling left out, my car doesn't appear to have any rattles as yet....Then again maybe I haven't noticed cos' I usually have the stereo blaring... :-[
-
Guess What? :lol:
Trish's CW has that glovebox rattle too (otherwise the car is as tight as a drum) I am going to try the little rubber pads as per Ian's fix today..
Those sort of noises don't worry Trish but they drive me batty ( explains a lot doesn't it) :rofl:
-
:lol:
Just read this out to Kim, who agreed completely, must be a female thing, drives me round the bend and Kim sits oblivious!!

Hi.
I don't need any rubber. See my previous post

Hi Carib can you post a photo of what you mean?..
I used a couple of these high density foam blocks about 3 mm thick (A$2 from a discount shop) as per Ian's suggestion :goodjob:

I just used 2 pads as shown here and then did a test drive (noise gone for now at least) :D

^-- what a splendid idea :eek:
Cheers (why didn't I think of that) though my creeks are hardly noticeable
-
It used to be a real buzz in the CRDi but I blamed that partly on the resonance of the diesel motor.. The noise in the cW was much less obvious but it was the glovebox door because it stopped if the door was left open..Now it is gone :goodjob:
-

Hi.
"By your command, Master"! :mrgreen:
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Here is the bad guy!
(There is another one on the other side that was closing properly).
(http://i56.tinypic.com/ix5ukj.jpg)
Here is not properly closed
(http://i52.tinypic.com/mkkuma.jpg)
and now properly closed
(http://i52.tinypic.com/og9ff4.jpg)
Please note that I'm in Portugal, left driver side.
The problem was, as I said, in the door's side.
If you, or another one, needs more details, I can try explain better (but not easy to me in English).
Regards,
carib

Thanks Carib your answer was perfect :mrgreen:
Between your fix and Ian's (Agent_R31) fix I think we have this problem nailed :goodjob:
-
Its a common thing with the i30's, my dealer noted it on a scheduled service, adjusted glove box, { but rattled after service}, next service, mentioned it to dealership, that it was still rattling, they replaced whole glovebox,= more than happy!
Good luck guys!
Cheers Bloodnut

i think i have the solution.....
most ppl would say its coming from the glovebox.... but in fact it dosent... atleast mine dosent.. and i was 105% completely sure was coming from there.. so was my local dealership.
so a few days ago... i figued it out.... after months of bugging my local dealership and finally got them to contact hyundai in my country to come and take a look at it.... i think they hate me now or something.. lol..
anyway... i was driving on the free way as i do often.. goin about 130km/h and thats where i get the rattling sounds. and also at 80-90km/h rpm.. about 1900/2200.
i was in fith gear .. and for unknown reason i had my hand on the gear shifter.. and by accident i pushed it against the the fith geat slot/position... and then i could hear the rattling sound was gone..as soon as i let go of the gear shifter.. it was back... so i started to play around with it and im 110% sure its coming from there... cant say what is causing atm.. im just glad i finally pinpointed it the location where to look... so i have booked at new time for them to look at it hopefully fix it... i cant wait till get it back and its hopefully is gone for good!
chees Zhangster :cool:

Hi Zhangster.
OK. Each case is a case.
I thought that was in the central pillar or the passenger door.
It was by chance, when I was sitting in the passenger seat, I discovered that the the lid of the glove box had two catches, one on each side, and when I closed the lid for the center, stood with a small gap on the right side near the passenger door .
Some force was necessary to close that side as well. For three or four times.
After that started to close and the noise disappeared.
I think anyone who hears the sound with the lid of the glove box closed and no longer hear the same when it is open, should have a problem like mine or another in the glove box.
Good luck with your problem and give us news.
Regards,
carib

Gone through most of the posts here and seems Zhangster's scenario is the one I am experiencing.
Mine is a 2.0SX (late 2009) and heard this rattling noise after clocking 7000+ km. The weird thing was everytime this happened I was driving between 70~90km/h on a slightly rough road surface (highway or freeway) and during the acceleration. Never had this in city driving, or when speed is < 70km/h or > 100km/h.
I am very sure it's not coming from the glovebox and my passengers confirmed that, it seems to come from behind/below the steering or dashboard.
I just had my regular service done days ago and had reported the issue. They did some tests and confirmed hearing the noise, but what they suggested to me was a bit, well... "dumb". They asked me to try changing my fuel and see how it goes... I am not sure how they get into this suggestion, but anyway I will do it and see how it turns out.

Good luck with that. :rofl:
And next time... try another dealer. :scared:

There is some bit of thin metal roughly in that area that can rattle, there is a thread on it somewhere, you can bend it to stop it I belive.

I did this and haven't had the noise since.
That said I havent opened the Glove Box either!

No rattle in Trish's CW since I put those Foam pads in there either :goodjob:

I know if a dealer suggested that to me I'd be saying, "Umm? OK. Just explain to me in layman's terms how my fuel is causing a rattle behind the steering wheel. Please feel free to use diagrams".

Add to this thread.
A faint rattle coming from my car too. Hard to localise but I assume from dash. Just checked my glovebox and it appears with a casual close one of the pins as Carib has mentioned doesn't fully close. I will give it a proper close and need to see now if the noise is gone.
Thanks Carib.
-
I've had no rattles whatsoever since I applied a couple of those antiskid pads that Dazz pictured :D
-
Will try that if closing it firmly does not eliminate it. I note that the glove box does have its own rubber circular pads which aim to do the same thing. Maybe over time they flatten and lose their effectiveness. My car is barely 3 months so perhaps I just haven't closed the glovebox properly.

Don't forget interpretive dance.....It is an underrated art form and perfect for these situations. :cool:

You guys have thought of everything, if only i'd search
I'd though of getting pads, but in the mean time I'm using one of the petrol gloves to wedge it
