1. This is sounding more and more common. As I men tioend earlier, my techs said the robot installing dash is not getting right connection in place (at all). They got mine up close to the A pillar, but not quite. And they dont really get it "in place" they just force padding in there to raise it up, giving thge illusion its seated upward more. Bogus! Thery admit it though. They just said to really fix it (take dash out) would likely cause a whole host of new rattles.

1. My passenger side dash doesn't quite line up at the bottom front corner of the A-pillar. The dash (black) is about 1cm lower than where it looks like it needs to be on the A-pillar (white). Is this the same situation you had? Did this actually line up perfectly after you did your fix?
2. Thanks for the photos, they help a lot. I tried to reach up there the other day to see if I could feel what you were describing, but all I found was something that was REALLY farking hot... Most likely the heater core inlet pipe. I'll try again when I have a bit more time (and when the truck is cold). My question is: how big is the gap you have to fill? or, how much material will I need to stuff in there?
3. From what you have said, I understand that the rattle fix also has the side benefit of the dash alignment fix. I want to make sure that this isn't done in two different fixes, so I don't have to contort myself under my dash more than once.
Thanks again for the excellent info!  |
