Rattles & Squeaks Inside Your Evo [ALL THREADS MERGED]
Curt941 - i have that same rattle you described in my IX GSR. Could you let me know how it goes after you fix it? Thats the only noise that i have besides the normal brake squeal. Other than that, no complaints. thanks

i just got a new rattle/creeking...
dash board near windshield creeks over speed bumps and rough roads, no matter what speed...
this started recently, i have had coilovers installed for a while now with no noise at all....

when its wet out/ moisture in the air, i have a little squeek noise going over bumps. I coudlnt figure it out so i got out of the car and started pushing down on the fenders, i got the sound. I think its just the rubber seals or something that make a noise when they move because of the moisture... Oh well...
Solution for all = Turn up the radio!!!

If it's a styrofoam cooler type squeak coming from the lower dash area and you are going crazy, try what I just did. I went to the car wash and sprayed the rack and pinion area along the firewall (lightly). The noise went away until the car dried.
I had washed it in the past and the squeak was noticable before I tried wetting the R&P.
The next time it's in the air I'm going to try spraying the bushings with silicone and see if the damned squeaks go away.
I have an 06 MR and have had quite a few interior trim pieces off, one at a time, trying to find this particular squeak. It's not inside. Turning the radio up seems to make it less noticable. Go figure.

I can attest to the interior settling in and the squeaks going away as time goes on. I was horrified at the squeaks and rattles that started appearing as early as 800 miles on my car, enough so I took it to the dealership a couple times and got a few things fixed. I'm at 11,000 miles now and the interior is the quietest it's been since

Mechanic said there is a TSB for the door weather moldings, its the sound of plastic on plastic. Order both and should be in this week. Also has a TSB for the door handle linkage on the inside of the door, they put in felt lining behind it to stop it from bumping the metal shell of the door. At least they addressed all my issues, the dealer has been great.
Do you have the TSB number for the weather moldings? I have the same noise, but the dealer is saying that there is no TSB.
Please help
Any chance of still getting this? PLEASE !?!?!?! :]

I'll try to get it for you, its very annoying especially over a period of time when its rubbing platic on plastic. . They put the new weather stripping on both sides and its quiet as can be. I'll see if my buddy at the dealership can fax it to me I'll scan it and post it here.

I drove my brand new Evo out the door last Tuesday, with 11 miles on it (hooray!)
Almost immediately I hear this rattle that is coming from behind the glove compartment, or somewhere inside the dashboard behind the glovebox, and I do not have anything yet inside the blove compartment.
It sounds like a loose wiring harness dangling against a plastic surface, enough to make a constant but faint rattling noise.
But at hghway speeds, the rattling noice is drowned from the road noises.
Either that, or turn up the hifi volume.
Or rev the engine ;-)
It is a minor annoyance...and I agree with some posters that this is part of the *allure* of owning an Evo....
