how does everyone get rid of the rattling that comes from the interior pieces as the car ages? i got a 95 CX and my interior rattles like crazy..

 

You must 1 have mice or squrrels living in your dash, or 2 your dash isn't on meaning all the screws are not there..

 

its not the dash its the rear panels

 

gut it (its not hard AT ALL) and vacuum it all out nice, and inspect every piece before you put it back in....

simple..

 

yea i'm planning on doing that tomorrow.. if its nice... lately its been COLD! been down to 4 degrees celius...

Also... this is real stupid.... but u think it would be a bad idea to put insulation behind the panels? i'm looking for a way to keep my interior warmer this winter... last winter was horrible in the cold

mine does too but i think that becaus i have my music turned up....either way...i thought there was vibration padding you could get but i don't know where....you would put it in your doors and it would stop the vibration noises

 

yea.... dynomat.... but thats super expensive... i'm just looking for something cheap for winter because in the summer its fine

 

my interior used to rattle like crazy it was annoying .. turned out to be one of my motor mounts were blown.. causing my engine to rattle everything.so check that out also

 

mounts are good :D


Anyone know if the pink insulation would be bad??? like bad for the metal or anything???

 

what. Insulation behind the panels because its too cold?!

Okay sorry but that is dumb. Your Honda heating system shoul dbe amazing. I always found honda heat to be awesome. Instead of insulation, get a remote start. Start your car and let it warm up, get in and heat should be beyond warm.

Aright good luck. But in the coldest of all weathers, your heat should be just fine....no need for insulants

 

I think he's from canada..... and are winters are COLD!

try some foam tape and place it under the panels

****, out of my 45 minute commute to school everyday for the last two years, the winter was a bitch. My car wouldn't get warm until the last 5 or 10 minutes of my trip. Now that it's turbo'd I have a toasty cabin within 5 minutes.

I don't think I've seen you make an intelligent post yet.

TO: You should be find putting the pink insulation in your car. If you can put it in your house and not have it kill you I think it'll be okay for your car.

As for the rattling, I have no Fing clue.

 

Ya, fill your panels with Great Stuff foam insulation. It comes in a can. It's normally used to seal area's around a house where stuff from the outside goes inside (cable, phone, power, etc lines). It will also make your car quite a bit more quiet too. Dynamat won't help much with heat and sound insulation. Dynamat just deadens sounds like rocks hitting panels and stuff. It doesn't actually insulate road noise from the tires much at all.

Forgot about that. Good stuff. Can't use that in your doors, though. At least I don't think so, unless you want your windows to be permanently up.

 

doubt i wanna use that **** lol just something temporary for winter cause the car is being sold in the spring if i get my new car... plus with a 40-45 min trip one way to school.. its harsh in -30 weather...

 

I wouldn't be very inclined to use pink insulation in your car. Yes, it's fine in your house, but that is because it is hardly ever disturbed. It seems to me that in your car, there's a good chance that it would stir up the fiberglass enough to get on you. Being covered in fiberglass is enough to make some people wish they'd never lived. If you can look around, there are home insulations that are non-fiberglass. I think you may be able to use that a bit easier. If you find the stuff, you could probably fill your quarter panels with it. Doors and rest of car wouldn't be quite so easy.

As for rattling plastic, often it has much to do with the weather. It being cold up there doesn't help much. I used to drive a Saturn, and that thing rattled like all in the summer, and it was even worse in the winter. My hatch rattles as well. The comment about stripping it out, then putting it all back together is probably your best bet. That way you can make sure that everything is nice and tight.
