Anyone experienced this? driving me mad, does anyone know how to stop it, apart from turning the music up?

pull it out and re fit it with a few strips of felt tape

maybe some debris has gotten into the vent which you could clear out. usually removing and refitting fixxes rattles

im taking my passenger door card off tomorrow to fix the front door speaker rattle in my car. still cant find the one in the passenger seat area which has been a nightmare from day 1 of ownership

Thanks guys, how easy is it to remove? is there some instructions somewhere on the web?

they just pull out and there is a foam gasket in between the dash and the vent assembly


my passenger side dash vent is misaligned/not flush with the dash but im not fixing it as it doesnt rattle so will leave it alone!
