Okay I've searched a thousand times. I know tons of people have threads out there for that particular dash rattle. Although, mine pertains to a rattle that is around the passenger wheel well within the cabin. Pretty much where you're passengers feet are. I can't figure it out but somtimes it feels like its in the glove compartment but then its not. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THIS IS AND HOW TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF IT?
Passenger side under dash rattle?
- Thread starter Darkhorse
- Start date
I figured out that I dropped a tic tak (other people might drop change$$$) into the subwoofer system under the passenger seat, that rattle and annoys the crap out of me. But it fell into the opening of the little system under the seat.
good call, I'll have to check that out

I've got one on the passenger side SOMEWHERE that drives me nuts. Last visit to the dealer and of course, it didn't make a sound. I also have the wiper cowl windshield noise that I will have them address on my next visit.

I've just heard a rattle coming from the dash on my way home from work. Didn't someone point this out inside the engine bay that there is a piece of plastic that is rattling against the car? Only does it when the car is moving. I'm going to the stealership tomorrow anways so I'll ask them about it

my glove box rattles when i have it locked.
I have the same problem, but for me the problem stops when i open the glove box...i buddy of mine has same car and said try not to keep anything on the glove box door it could solve the problem besides the glove box is freakin huge should have plenty of room for everything...
is this hard to get to? i haven't really looked underneath my passenger seat ever. lol
There is a fix for this here: http://www. mazda 3 forums .com/index.php?PHPSESSID=63d28fffc1b1d70551ad605e09c7b7b3&topic=52650.0
*remove the spaces I added in the above url*
I was skeptical at first but decided to give it a try anyway as it was driving me nuts and has steadily gotten worse over the colder winter months. To my surprise, this fix works like a charm and my glovebox is now completely rattle-free.

How'd you manage to find 8 screws on this fix? Two that hold the glovebox, one for the glovebox light and one for the door dampener. You don't need to bother removing the passenger scuff plate and kick panel, you can finesse the entire glovebox out and back in without taking those out.
Oh and all credit goes to the OP from that forum, not me. I'm just spreading the word because it seems like a tonne of Mazda3s have this problem.
