Re: renault laguna dash rattles - El Dingo (Martin)

John,

Buying a VW in the first place would help...
Seriously, I have found that silicone grease (used sparingly) can be used to let the offending panels 'slide' against each other, which can stop some squeaks. With rattles you need to check the fittings (screws, press studs, tapers, etc.). I have found that air ducts sometimes come loose, as well as electrical components! Try 'thumping' the dash gently to see if you can locate the source(s) of the rattles.

Martin.
