Rattles, ideas

[Jim172CUP]

Whilst going down some bump b-roads ive noticed that the blue plastic bits are buzzing (you know the plastic strips above the glove box and near the drivers air vent) when i went down the road pushing the bit near the air vent the noise stopped.

Has anyone taken these bits off and if so are they easy to replace? need to put some blu tack behind there or something cuz its doing my box in

rattles are Renaults way of showing your car is still in one piece - if it aint rattling its fallen off. LOL

I expect all performance cars to have some rattles, lightweight, hard suspension etc..... All part of the package.

My 182 used to do that.

Remove the strips (they just pull off).

Mask the front of them with parcel tape or something that comes off easily.

Spray the rears with dynomat sound deadening spray (available from halfords).

Allow to dry, then re-fit.

Sorted!

you can take them off with a flat head screw driver under the one side an flick em off, then figure out somet to put under them to stop em rattling!
