Red face DASH RATTLE ??

Does anybody have a rattle or stress noise coming from there dash ? Sounds like its coming from behind the radio area...Driving me nuts when I dont have the radio turned up...Does anybody know how the dash is mounted and how I can get to the bolts, maybe to tighten up the bolts...Does the radio come out easy, if so explain..Need to get back there to see what the problem is...Any help would be appreciated.....Thanks. Dave

Yes, especially when it is cold outside. Sounds like twisting plastic or two pieces of plastic moving against each other.

I've got the same problem and now my door panels do it ever since I took them off to change the speakers.

I changed my radio shortly after getting my truck. It was easy to get the old one out if you know about the catches that need to be released. I got a tool and some instructions from Crutchfield and I will look to see if I still have them. Don't know about the rattle, mine doesn't.

Door panel clips can be replaced if they have gotten loose from being removed and reinstalled
