that dashboard rattle, on any brand of car, is a pain in the butt. I also had that on my previous car.
It's either you live with it, or ipabaklas mo yung dash mo at lagyan ng kung ano-anong pads or reinforcements(?) para walang rattle. But just like what Wakin said, it's a PITA ang mag baklas at magbuo ng dashboard.
that has been the problem of honda city 2004, 2005 and 2006.
when we procured ours, the salesman said that such problem had been addressed at the plant, but in less than 6 weeks, there came the rattling of our honda city 2006 at. the salesman said that they (honda-shaw) will remedy the problem by doing some insulation work when we have our 1,000km check-up.
will update you sakali kung sakali maayos ng honda-shaw (which is kasama lang din naman honda sa makati, pasig at alabang). kung di maayos, we may have to live with it.
this defect, coupled with other defects (minor man o hindi), proves honda's poor worksmaship. kaya di na me nagrerekomenda ng honda sa mga kaibigan ko. nakakahiya. these defects should be affecting honda's sales.
How 'bout speaking with either a supervisor or a manager? Sorry I just don't trust salesmen as much... They are trained to make you hand over your wallet and that's about it...
update regarding rattle on my dashboard....honda makati were able to solve the problem ...it's almost 1-week since i bring my unit there and so far the rattle is no longer present...i just don't know what remedy they do with my unit...
