Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that suspect a cause: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I've managed to get a strip of rolled up felt wedged in the gap between the dash and the pillar cover - test run last night thinks I might have solved it.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Bad news is I took it to the dealer and they fixed it so I can't give you precise fix instructions.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've developed an annoying rattle from the dashboard (nearside base of windscreen pillar). Initially thought it was the tweeter cover but after removing this and the speaker the rattle remained. I've managed to temporarily stop it by wedging a folded car park ticket into the corner between dash and pillar but would like to get views and any guidance on how easy it is to remove and refit the dash. Many thanks Martyn

Many thanks Martyn I had this on the drivers side but slightly lower down near the bottom of the A-pillar. Bad news is I took it to the dealer and they fixed it so I can't give you precise fix instructions. Good news is they didn't remove the dash to do it.

POST 3Original post

What difference does removing the A-pillar cover make (and driving the car)? Where is the SE are you?

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've managed to get a strip of rolled up felt wedged in the gap between the dash and the pillar cover - test run last night thinks I might have solved it. I'm in Crawley - just off the A264
