This is a fantastic video to work on dashboard rattles.
It shows how to remove all the subcomponents attached to the dash.

​​​​​​To try helping you, Pls show us a picture of the glove box vent pipe .... try sliding pipe over the glove box nipple.

Are there any common places to check for dashboard rattles? Or a thread that has some solutions?

CaliBenzDriver

not that I know of personally. I am sure you're not the first Benz owner chassing a rattle, right?

Try to process by elimination to locate rattle:
top vs. bottom - then Left vs. Right so you have a location identified.

Once that look at what components are in there and how you can keep 'em from RUBBING AGAINST EACH OTHER.

MB uses sticky felt strips between parts so they slide more easily...

I guess you can remove all the trims and unecessary items to gain better access (glovebox, central comand, display...) eliminate every things until the answer becomes obvious.

While you have things out... resolder loose pins along the way! Many-many modules around dashboard need TLC.

Please look at here guys i need to see how to install parts 290.

CaliBenzDriver

Does your pipe 290 not fit with glovebox nipple ??
Can you press it on or what is the problem ?

It is low aire stream pressure, no need for any clamp.

this parts ordered new on photo it go angle to right mine to left how i install it?

CaliBenzDriver

It's either one of these...:

• the wrong part
• pipe is turned around
• installed up side down

based on the fact it's a part you ordered for replacement, the problem may be a part mismatch or as described above.

Mindaugas

funny thing with part codes and ebay listing showing same item i got. so i need any help how to install?

pierrejoliat

They may make two, one for right hand drive, one for left.

Mindaugas

so how to know code for europe side?

pierrejoliat

Does your replacement part match the picture above? Exactly? Or is it reversed, if it's reversed, it's likely for right hand drive car.

Mindaugas

the nose that go forward must be into screen side its like uk side. i dont understand can you help with part number or right photo how that installs.

pierrejoliat

Ok, let's start over, where are you located and which side of the car is the steering wheel on?

Mindaugas

europe sir and Left side car is in europe not like uk.

pierrejoliat

Ok, then your part should look exactly like the one in the schematic above. If it doesn't you have the right hand drive part.

Mindaugas

yes im thinking the same but i need also any help how to install it

pierrejoliat

it just attaches to the HVAC box and pops into the hole in the top of the glovebox, So maybe attach to HVAC box, put glove box in place loosely, then reach up behind glove box to insert tube into glovebox hole?

Mindaugas

angle does not match like from photo i googled and all they like that

KEY08

Lots of discussion regarding getting that new part in the hole. Shouldn’t be this difficult, unless you have a right handed part by error. I think everything has been covered to help out. Now you are back on your own. Good luck

pierrejoliat

This may help.

Mindaugas

look at here guy this is the item and look at diagram its totally different angle and the codes same.
