hey guys, quick questions about rattles
i want to remove the passenger side window control switch housing, but i'm not sure if it just pops out or what... i wanted to put some butyl tape under it to try and get rid of the rattle...anyone know how to remove it?

also, my driver side side mirror sometimes rattles from the music, is there any way to tighten the mirror to the body? someone posted there was a screw u could tighten, but i don't see one..

 

I cant help you with the control switch housing but I can help you with the rattling mirror. I had the same problem and I fixed mine.

It was very easy and took about 30 minutes for me to do. Give it a try.

 

thanks about the window, i'll see if i get around to it or maybe i'll have the dealer do it...as for the window switch housing anybody know if it pops out? although i just printed a tsb for that so if i do take it to the dealer i'll make them fix that as well.

 

I guess this is a month late, but the part that the switch sits on top of pops out of the door by pulling it toward the inside of the car. Then you can pull the top switch panel out easily.

not to pile on.....but does anyone have a good fix for the rattle where the A pillar meets the dash on the driver side? I tried one fix i found on here, where you insert a thick piece of fabric under the plastic from the dash.....didn't work. it's driving me mad.

 

Sorry the pictures from the TSB wouldn't copy over but here is the text. You could search the web for the TSB and see if you can find it in PDF format with the pictures. Hope this helps.
