Dash rattles

[BCP]

Rattles appear to be from infotainment center. Driving me nuts. Anyone else ?

There's several threads with a lot of information and DIY fixes for rattles. This is one of the larger ones on the forum.

Rattles arent universal and are specific to each individual vehicle. I have rattles in my interior too.

Agree @nawfoo, though some issues seem to be repeat offenders more than others. The rattling infotainment housing is one of them. The other most common is the rattling seat belt adjuster(s). After that there seems to be a mixed bag of (semi-prevalent) dash rattles on the passenger side and a few isolated cases of rattles coming from the back. All of this is pretty well documented in that big thread @Chilly613 reliably pointed out.

I got a mild case of the infotainment and b-pillar (where the seatbelt is).

It's annoying given the price point of these cars but at the end of the day, it's based off a civic. Though, it's kind of funny how there's not a small group of people that are very vocal about how "the CTR is far superior to the ITS because japanese build quality" but then you have these things happening all the same.

I think Honda just tends to have these issues...

Dude, ALL manufacturers that mass produce vehicles have these issues here and there. These aren’t carefully crafted one-by-one with strict attention to fit and vibration reduction the way Rolls Royce does it. People who say Japanese build quality is superior to US (among other places) have 90’s rose tinted glasses on. I’m a Honda fan, but I’m also a fan of reality.?

I have battled with rattles all over the interior of my 2023 and have had some success but once you fix a couple, then a new one seems to rear it's ugly head. It's got to the same point it got with my old 2013 STI where I waived the white flag and accepted that this was simply never going to be a quiet interior.

Over time, many of the small rattles that initially bothered me, have gone away or only show up when I hit a bumpy enough patch of road. I wonder if others who have had their car for a year have noticed the same.

I just hit 500 miles and haven't noticed any rattles with mine. I think it's a either you got lucky or not thing honestly. I bet when I start modding it and getting more horsepower things will rattle like my si did.

Since swapping in the ITS damper module, the dash rattle is all but gone. Not 100% sure that is the reason, since I'm not swapping back and forth.

My odometer just crossed 2900 miles.
Roads in my area are a coarse texture, even when new. Previously, the coarseness triggered the rattle.
