Title: Simple rattle fix
Post by: dickreid1 on June 03, 2015, 02:05:41 pm

For years now we have been living with a particular rattle when driving.  Mainly driver's side. MCD shades were suspect hitting each other or the window frame. Velcro loop stuff made a difference but no solution.  Padding the glass tray in the microwave made a difference but no solution. Padding pots and pans... nada.  Locking the oven fan outside vents... nope.  Maybe something inside the MCD shade box?  Maybe the slide topper has something loose?  We lived with it and dreaded rough roads.

On a call-back from Kermit about pealing vinyl on drivers seat, Marge mentioned the rattle. He suggested push the slide-out button briefly. Just enough to put pressure on the mechanism but not move the slide. Eureka!  That is the solution!  What a super simple fix.

I've had a pile of rattles to fix over the years, most recently involving the cabinets in the B+ cap area.  Like many others, my list of fixes would be very long if I documented them.  They are so easy to fix.  What to fix is the challenge.  The most irritating one was the crank-up Winegard antenna on the roof that took so many years to figure out.

Interesting fix there Dick.
