Rattle behind dash - driver side

[CZ 75]

Anyone experience this? 2018 JLUR 17k miles. Almost sounds like it's behind the air conditioning vent top left of dash or under the speaker grill.

Rattles over bumps. Just started recently I believe due to hitting a massive pothole on the left side.

First make sure your sun visor is not causing the rattle. I added two bumper felt door cushions to both my visors and vibration gone.

Check that your speaker wire is not poking out. See: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...vibration-rattle-from-driver-dash-area.12073/

Also look behind the quarter panel. I had a label that was peeling off and vibrating in the wind.

2019 JLUR, but the issue sounds very similar. It sounds like it's somewhere to the left and forward of the center of the gauges. I've checked the sun visor, but it sounds lower than that anyway. I saw on another thread where someone mentioned the brake pedal rattling against the cylinder, but mine will happen when braking.
I'm afraid of the dealership disassembling the dash and causing more issues than it fixes.

Good luck getting your service dept. to disassemble your dash for a rattle. They will first say they don’t hear it. If you press them, they keep it for multiple days and say they can’t find it (but probably never tried). Eventually you’ll get worn down and just pick up your Jeep.

I suggest dropping your windshield, which is easy to do, and popping out the speaker, which is even easier. Make sure the wire is where it needs to be and not in a position to vibrate. Zip tie if needed.

Do also check for the sticker/label that I mentioned. For such a small thing, it made a hell of a lot of noise.

Good luck!

I found mine to be the panel that holds the headlight switch. When I heard the rattle I could push that panel with my finger and it would stop. I ended up with a tiny piece of black foam rubber just a little larger than the size of a toothpick and used a plastic knife to push it in where that panel meets the dash. That took care of it.

That’s a different and well known issue: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/forum/threads/speaker-issue.6166/

TL;DR - stuff a business card behind the secure gateway module to keep it from vibrating.

Ma’am. I have it going in to the dealer to put the mopar lift on Wednesday. Is there something I can tell the service department to have them look at this. I’m sure it’s an easy fix and I’d hate for them to be in there all day?

I have the rattle and have not resorted to pulling the dash out yet, but it's going to happen.

In so I can read all this stuff later. Mine is when I play songs and it is always at the same frequency.
