I've got what can best be descirbed as something that sounds like a couple of pieces of broken glass being shaken inside a coffee can noise coming from somewhere behind my instrument cluster. I didn't have it before my windshield was replaced. I'm guessing the guy who replaced it dropped some pieces into the vents.

 

5800 miles on my IX and I've got 3 rattles so far, one from the dash right behind the steering wheel, one coming from the glove box, and last one somewhere by the rear windshield. Last one I think is caused by my exhaust. Glovebox will stop rattling if I touch it.

 

come on guys its a car based on a rally sports sedan its a stiff car if you dont like rattles buy a cadillac or a lexus!

 

Let's bring this one back to life.

I have a few rattles on the new IX with only 800 miles on it. Think this is a normal trend for the IX;s.

But seriously, most of the 30k went under the hood and suspension. Not the interior.

 

in case nobody's said this yet:

i fixed my dash piece rattle by stuffing 2 pieces of weather strippings (you can find it at ACE hardware or home depot) at the lower corners of the plastic dash piece. rattle free now ftw.

 

On your IX or VIII?
