Dash kit Rattle
so i was an idiot and got the scosche toyota dash kit to install me new alpine HU. SHortly thereafter, i noticed a rattling sound. After some careful diagnosing, i determined that the rattling was actually coming from the dash kit/HU housing itself.
Wondering if anyone else has noticed this...AND... Does anyone have the METRA kit? I just ordered one and i'm hoping it doesn't have the same annoying rattle.
PS. I took the sliding stereo cover door off cuz it squeaked like crazy too.
CHeap A$$ scions!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Just being facetious..NO FLAMING PLEAZE!

you know, i guess its possible that its the trim ring, i didn't think of that. Either way, the MEtra kit is nicer...and i have a CD stuck in the stock HU still, so i wanna plug that baby in real quik when i swap kits.
Rattles are just REAL annoying though, especially in the close quarters of a car. Either that, or i have OCD. its like somebody scratching a chalkboard with their fingernails...
