Title: Door rattles / Dash rattles
Post by: Rob GTi on 20 January 2005, 09:55

1.8t - 51 plate 3 door. I know we may have covered this subject before, but my drivers door trim rattles, does anyone know of any fixes - acoustic matts/strips etc.  Also rattle from dash, can't seem to find ou twhere this is coming from. Give the dash a bang and it temporararily stops.
Please help ............any ideas/solutions. (apart from turning the stereo up) :sad:

Every mk4 i've ever been in has at least one rattle, luckily mine only has one slight rattle very occasionally. (Doors creaking under braking is a different matter)
Only fix i know is to strip everything and bung a load of silicon grease in as you put it all back together :undecided:

Cheers - thought there was not a quick fix answer. Does it depend where the golf was built  - SA / Germany? Sounds as if my car was friday morning car ie partially ok engine wise but trim wise forgot the odd screw etc. Oh well heres to a dry w.end so i can get door panels off.
