So after a few weeks with a dreadful rattle I finally gave in and set about finding it.
What I did find is that the two 7mm bolts holding in the clocks were 2 turns from being tight.
After a load of Tesa tape and foam pads the clocks, steering cowling, headlight switch and small storage area are now solid.
Brave man... Do you have pictures how to take apart interior?
I have few rattles and would try to fix them... But not sure how to take apart everything.
I have "constant" rattle behind/above clocks, trim around vents, door panels... Everywhere. Not happy about build quality of the car.
What I have found is the windscreen air vent is pretty bad and one of my main culprits. Its not the covers, its the actual plastic ducts under it that bang together and echo through the dash.
The cover just clips on and a small piece of foam wedged around the ducting does the trick.
Everything is basically clipped in and requires a trim tool to remove safely and you'll see the 7mm hex bolts for the screen and clocks.
Decided to carbon wrap the chrome strip across the dash, around the screen and the steering wheel piece.
Used 5D gloss carbon.
