Anyone have any trouble with a pretty persistant rattle coming from the right side of the dash? It's a 96 854. I can't find anything loose..but it's a pretty good rattle. If I push on the dash/glove box it seems to subside a bit. Thanks!

    I wrapped the hook that the latch engages with black electrical tape. Took care of the sound. Not recommended for pre-95 models because they have problems with the lock mechanism jamming (unless this has already been repaired).

    It's the latch mechanism inside the door. How do you fix it? Open it up, replace loose parts, OR, use some THICK grease to prevent the little parts from vibrating against each other.
