Chalky13 Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Apologies if this is in the wrong section. Our A1 has an annoying rattle from the headlining around the interior light unit. Pressing anywhere on the plastic there stops it, so we know it’s that now. Is this common or anything there we should be mindful of before taking the trim out and seeing what’s loose / rattling? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gsmdo Posted July 20, 2022 Share Posted July 20, 2022 I'm unfamiliar with the A1, but my first action would be to open the trim (as if you were going to change the bulb) and see if you can see what's rattling... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky13 Posted July 20, 2022 Author Share Posted July 20, 2022 I’m aware of that, I’m asking if there’s anything related to the trim area I need to be mindful of when removing it, if it’s clipped in or there’s anything behind or a special way of removing it.

Steve Q Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 It should just be clipped in place. This eBay link shows where the clips are and what it looks like from behind: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403748629431?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=--wmg7khrj-&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=IE07kO4STZy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalky13 Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 Star man Steve, popped the trim off, nothing really obvious loose, test drive, all quiet, trim back on, still quiet! 👍 happy with that, as that was the only rattle in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalky13 Posted July 30, 2022 Author Share Posted July 30, 2022 Yeah, wasn’t sure if it was that or a wire tapping against things. Nice cheap fix, we like those … Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
