Dash trim rattle
The black plastic trim around the dash makes a plastic rattle noise when touched or sometimes under hard steering.
Does anyone have a fix for this? Just by pressing on the black plastic trim around the dash makes that noise.. ONLY thing that makes noise in my car... not sure why it does this but seems like a design flaw..
Anyone else have this noise issue?

I used a tone generator like (https://onlinetonegenerator.com/freq...generator.html) to find out on what specific frequencies i got "rattles". Normally it happens during phone-calls but easier to reproduce with such a tool; you simply apply a sweep and then tune towards the worse oscillating frequencies.
BTW i didn't fix it yet, but will think of this potential fix when i get to it...
