I already fixed the a-pillar rattling by stuffing cotton strips in between the bottom of the pillar and the dash- that worked nicely. But now the center of my dash and drivers side door are rattling. I bought this car because my last car was a rattle-trap and I wanted something that wouldn't rattle. I am obsessed with stopping rattles!

The one in my dash goes away when I apply pressure on the area between the top of the radio, and the bottom of the climate controls. What can I do there? Take the components out and put some padding in there?

Then there is a rattle in my drivers side door. It goes away when I put pressure on the top "lip" of the door between the inner window-strip and the actual door panel itself. I think I might be able to stuff something in between there.

So is there any quick fix-it for these rattles like there was for the a-pillars? Maybe some sort of thin foam wedge or expanding material that is easy to get in to very small spaces?

I'm probably going to do the whole interior with a sound deadener (b-quiet) for ride-quietness, will this help rattles at all? I put 120 sq-feet of dynamat X-treme (I used to get it at a great discount) in my 2000 Silverado truck, and my doors sound extremely solid when closed, unlike every 20k+ mile silverado I have seen besides mine. So that makes me think it might help with the maxima rattles as well?


Thanks for any help!

theres alot of things like dyna-mat to stop some noise. I just stuffed them with polyfill and removed the foam block that fell off and hits the door

Polyfill? What is that, and is that what you used to stop the rattling inside the dash?

I have the same issue, driving me crazy.
I bought thin black weather stripping from HD.
I bought a couple different styles, not sure which
material or thickness will work yet.
I plan on removing the cc and/or radio component and place
the stripping in there to remove any contact between the components.
That should kill the rattles.
