I've searched, and I find info on dash removal, but I guess this isn't really the dash I am talking about.

Picture this: I have a car with the manual a/c. On the right side there is a wheel for temp control. Just to the right of that wheel (the wheel almost sits in it) is a plain black panel that runs north/south. At the top of that panel it seems to run under the center speedo/hits the panel where the glove box button resides.

I think my rattle/buzz is coming from there because I can often press on the top of that vertical panel and it will stop. Only if I press it where it meets the other panels, at the top, under the speedo.

Can I take that north/south panel off myself? If so, has anyone done it? I'd like to stick some felt or stuff in at the top of it I think.

Thanks!

Where did you get those pics from a manual? Or better yet, where can I get them...lol

 

The pics come from the BMW TIS.

 

Irontree:

Do you have the steps to remove the lower glove box front cover? I hit a brick wall trying to get it out.
