Vent rattle/tick
So i believe when i am driving and go over bumps or rough roads these vent tabs rattle/tick a little (you can hear the noise from any of the vent tabs from anywhere on the car that has them). Anyone figure out a way to get rid of the noise? I'm positive the noise is from the tabs because they are plastic and its probably getting noisy due to the colder weather we are experiencing in Canada. I want to fix this myself i know the dealership has insulated these areas in the past but it hasn't fixed the problem. They have also mentioned that they replaced the tabs but still nothing (makes sense since the problem seems to be the material of the tabs).
Thanks your help is appreciated!

I've got a rattle that comes and goes and it sounds like it's from the same vent but on the passenger side. Does that trim pull of the same as the one it that picture? Pushing hard on the glove box or opening the glove box and pushing/banging on the dash area above sometimes gets rid of it.

Vent Rattle
Hi, new to the forum. Have the same annoying rattle by the drivers side vent. Only happens over rough road. Definitely not the vent. I put some black foam in three spots in between the vent panels in 3 spots to no avail. Did you have any luck with removing the trim like one of the members suggested? Afraid to try that and damage it. Thanks

I guess you mean the silver horizontal tab? Really that worked? It’s only that vent. Unreal that a $60k car can have an issue like that.
