Default Fix rattle/ remove trim?



After stuffing the living **** out of my ac vent with felt tape to remedy a tick/rattle and removing my speaker cover only to hear that same sound thats been driving me crazy, I think I finally found it.

Does anyone know how to remove this trim piece so I can felt the contact points and fix this

The driver side dash trim is held on by push tabs and just pops off using a trim pry tool or the like. To remove the passenger side dash trim the glove box must first be removed, then all the screws that hold the trim in place will be exposed that must be removed .

Thanks man, appreciate it. Incase for the future, is the analog clock and two ac vents thats part of the dash trim also held in with screws or does that one pop off like the driver side trim?

Just be extra careful when removing dash parts, these things are so soft and can dent and scratch very easily.

I've seen the way the dealer handles cars and I'm trying not to leave it in their hands, if it something I can fix myself I'll give it a shot because they'll never be as careful with the car as I will

Yes, dealers are rough with cars. I went in for a tire replacement and car came back with a big scratch on my door and scratched dash.
