What i did was to take some foam padding and stick it in between and the sound is gone.
Going to test drive it later  |
After Subaru had about 6 cracks at it (off the road for about 5 days in total) and only put foam on the front trim, etc, I decided to take mine apart. When I got the instrument cluster out it was clear that the hadn't done anything the in depth. As soon as a wiggle the plastic with the screw in it near the beam TICK TICK TICK. Loosened the screw, foam tape behind in and tightened. Still a slight notice from the screw itself so I put the screw through a small piece of foam tape. Completely silent.
Added a bit more foam tape between the plastic and instrument cluster for good measure. Finally installed my JPM cluster hood at the same time (got it a month ago but wanted to fix the rattle first).
Took it for a long test runs over good and bad roads, not a peep (touch wood).
