Part # for dashboard?

Hey I have a horrible rattle/thunk from the drivers side near the top vent when I hit a bump. The tab that holds the dash to the metal frame under is cracked and the fit is not tight. It drives me nuts to hear this plastic thud. I dremmeled the hole a bit and pushed up on the dash then screwed the screw in, whoala the plastic thud is gone. However it comes back every 2 weeks or so.

 

So this bugs me so much I might want to replace the top part of the dash..or turn it in at the end of the lease which I don't want to do at all.

 

Anybody have the part # for the top part of the dash? (is there even a part?)

 

 

What do you think about the swap, major headache?

I have this same rattle, it's driving me crazy. How did you get the the part of the dash to dremel it out? Is it underneath or behind the side panel?

You take off the side panel unscrew the top screw where the plastic dash meets the metal brace, dremel it so u can push the dash forward then while pushing forward screw it back in tight.

There is a "top part" of the dash. Had mine replaced at the dealer about a month ago to fix a very bad creak/rattle. I don't have the part #. Sorry.

I have a similar creaking/rattline/SOMETHING and it's getting out of hand, but I haven't tried the dremel thing... maybe I'll do that before I try to get the dealer to replace the dash. But, let us know if you get that dashboard replaced because I want to see if it fixes it... good luck!
