dash rattles... V70-XC70 1998

posted by  someone claiming to be mikebox on  Mon Jul 17 15:47 CST 2023 [RELATED]

ok, my v70 (about 225k miles) has developed a horrible squek/rattle in the dash. i believe the plastic studs holding the dash to the firewall have all finally broken. the entire dash is kind o f loose and squaks like a styrofoam cooler.
I plan to pull the cowl/wiper assy etc. and see what i can do but expect the studs are broken off. Has anyone been able to secure the dash with say anchor bolts or something else with access from the cowl area?

If you watch the multiple videos on YouTube by Robert DIY about dash removal you'll see him fixing the broken brackets back on with epoxy. JB Weld or similar. Very rare that he can refit a dash with doing repairs. Not a nice job but at least the repairs don't need to be pretty. They are more solid if they aren't!
