Hello

The A-Pillar passenger side of my RHD Fabia 3 NJ 2019 has an annoying rattle as I sit at around 30-40mph. I am almost certain it is coming from its contact with the dash plastic. Is there a solution to this? I have used a trim tool to pop off the panel halfway and there looks to be a wiring loom in there (covered). I wedged some thin foam material between the dash and the pillar which stopped it temporarily but it has returned.

Any solutions would be appreciated. Tempted to order some replacement trim clips/springs to rule out that being the problem.

Thanks - Benjamin.

Other than removing the plastic A-pillar trim, always risky great 'fun' and checking it for damage and fit or something loose behind it, then no from me. That is of course if that is the actual location source of the rattle, sitting as a passenger with some sort of DIY stethoscope or just go by delicate touch with fingers. Rattles are always great 'fun' to locate and solve.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.

You could try silicone polish on the surfaces of the plastic that touch - it may help.

Thanks, ordered the new clips so will put them in and get the mother in there on the stethoscope 👍

I had a really annoying rattle (aren't they all) on a car and I spent ages and trying lots of things (old car so I found a few fixing I could nip up, in the end it was one of the things I thought I had already checked at the very beginning, but obviously hadn't. In this case it was bonnet brackets bolts but the rattle seemed to move or be at different places for the three of us that heard it. Rattles like leaks can be difficult to pin down exactly sometimes.

Good luck, let us know how you get on.
