Default Interior Light Rattle

The big plastic covering the reading lights in the headliner up front makes a rattling noise when going over bumps or listening to music in my B7 A4...does anyone else's do this?

Default Re: Interior Light Rattle

I am experiencing the same rattle. I noticed that if you push on the plastic covering close to the sun roof it stops, but once you take your hand off it rattle again.

Default Quick Fix...

Take a small peice of paper, fold it up a few times, then use your finger to tuck it between light cover and the headliner...

...push it up and out of sight. Should stop the rattle.

Default or take a small piece of double sided tape and squeeze that in there

and if you use a clear tape shouldnt be able to see it and unlike the piece of paper you shouldnt see it and cant fall out cause its stuck, ive never done this but its what i would do

Default The paper is good because it is not sticky. You don't want to interfere with changing bulbs.

Or damage to the headliner. I'm suggesting a very small peice of paper; (Gum wrapper sized) which is tiny enough that if you push it up far enough you won't be able to see it.
