hehe... looks like I opened the Pandora's box.. again

..

I did some preliminary investigation yesterday and traced out some of the rattles. Found out that the rattling that happens when car idles comes from the black plastic/fibre thingy below the wipers and not the dashboard.

Of course, there are another set of rattles when the car is moving. This, I cannot diagnose becoz I am driving. Will take it to the A.S.S to get it fixed.

Although a old thread, I have something to share..I also had my share of rattle in the dashboard specially while playing music. I initially thought that the rattle is coming from the left hand side door.Putting sponge etc came to off no help but one thing I noticed that rattling comes only when the door is closed.So what I did was that I've inserted one piece of sponge in between the door and the dashboard and voila the rattling is history.So I just fixed that piece of sponge using quickfix and my problem is solved.

BTW, another issue, anyone know the solution to the (in)famous Khatak sound of Baleno's front suspension. It's driving me crazy after I've changed my wheels to a lower profile one.It was there before also but now it sounds like it's in dire straits.Please someone help me out.
