Anyone know how to remove this?

I have an intermittent rattle from this light and switch panel and want to add some padding.

Not sure where the clips are and don’t want to damage it.

Thanks!!

You can remove the entire panel easily using a credit card. Watch the video below.

There are speakers everywhere!

Can’t work out if it’s the plastic cover rattling or a connector inside.

Mine is doing this too. The dealer said it was the wind deflector and adjusted it but I still have it. Mine goes away when I open the sunroof. Does yours? I have to take it back in again and I’ll let you know what they find.

When I push against this panel it stops the rattle - not sure why but I will put some insulation in there and see what happens.

Right of the bat when I bought my car, this rattled so bad it was unbearable. I cut black foam and jammed into the seams and it stopped it. Like I've said on many threads, this car is the most rattle/squeak infested car I've ever owned.

Out of curiosity what did you own or have you owned before?

Put in foam today to dampen the rattles, seems better, need more time to be sure. Thanks again for the help guys.
