Squeeky, rattling dash
So, I just had new tires and wheels installed, balanced, and computer aligned. Now my dash is making noise... is there any way to tighten it without having to take it to the local stealer?

What I've seen on mine and hear from others is the access panel in the middle of the dash is probably the culprit. Pry it open and re-seat it. See if this helps. I've also heard that sometimes wiring harnesses rub against other components. Get up under the dash and try to carefully rearrange wires.
Good Luck.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the advise Buzzard. I have never really worked on dashes before so I'm lost as far as knowing what an "access panel" is. Could you describe said panel and how to locate it? Keep in mind that I'm kinda slow... Thanks!

It is a big oval shaped piece on the top of the dash...more toward the right side. The panel just prys upward with the use of a small flat object like a screwdriver.
