Dash had the measles, so it was replaced. Now have a rattle (metallic) around the instrument cluster.
Anyone know how to remove the dash on a 2005 GU?
Cheers
Steve

I had a rattle I thought was in the dash but it ended up being the toll tag stuck to the window. I would have sworn it was in the dash. I'm not saying yours isn't but just sharing in case it helps anyone. Cheers Mike

I bought a 93 model 80 series 2.5 years ago and still chasing rattles in different
places. I think the next one is in the gearbox = $$$$

Like in my 80 if you keep looking you will find it that's if it doesn't drive you mad in the mean time. Can you take it for a drive on a rough road with a pasenger holding different parts of the dash bracing or behind the instruments untill the rattle stops , you might at least find something that the rattle is conected to and then work from there.
Thats the best I can come up with

Hi Blue One,
I've also got a dash rattle, in a 07 GU, been there snce new, but couild never get it to be regular enough for Mr Nissan to find.
Dash also got replaced at the 3 yr mark with a bad case of measles, and since then the rattle has become a constant one, so next service Mr Nissan said they would fix.
Time will tell.

I fixed it with some advice from another
forum.
Large screw driver with the end covered in duct tape. Insert the screw driver though the vent and give the duct a couple of jabs. There were a few loud cracks and now all is
well.
I spent months looking for the culprit and it turn out to be a 5 minute fix.
Cheers
