Dash Rattle: 100% Fix in minutes. Cheap and Easy!

The friggn dash and pillar trim rattle. The cure: I used some "caulk fill 3/4" foam" it's tubular foam that literally costs nothing. Cut it to length and shove it in the crevice in between dash and A pillar trim with a plastic trim tool or plastic putty knife. Next cut 1" inch pieces an shove them the long way between windscreen and the dash, I used 5 evenly spaced. You just need tension on the dash. You can also glue a button or chrome trim to add an effect, they match the air vents. It works. No bs. 100% improvement. Enjoy and your welcome.
