ash tray jingle
does anybody that has a FX4 that has the little carbon fiber (looking) ash tray does it rattle or jingle when shut?
mine does all the time even when the road really isn't bumpy
is there a simple fix?

I had 2 problems with mine. One was the little removable tray. If you dont push it in hard enough it rattles all the time. The other had to do with something behind the ashtray that the dealer replaced. It would rattle only on rough roads.

This has been happening to me. I have a system and that makes it rattle also, but it does it due to the ***** on my nitto MG's so I rolled up paper towel pieces and scotched tapped them to either sides of the ashtray behind the carbon fiber so that it pushed pressure against the dash seems to work ok, but would like a more permenant (not rigged) fix.

Rattles drive me ape-sheit too. Spend $40,000 on a vehicle, and the ash tray, of all things, should definately not rattle!
Found the TSB:
Shouldn't take any more than 18 minutes according to the procedure.
