    I have an idea on how to fix dash rattles. Since I have aired out my Tacoma a few times, the dash is developing some rattles. No biggie, but an anoyance none the less. I was thinking about spraying some expanding insulation in the dash in some key areas. Any thoughts on doing this? Could it hurt any electronics?
    Thanks, all!

    i dont see any issues with it...unless you just decide to coat a heat sink on the back of your stereo or something

    i would imagine the places youre planning on putting it wouldnt have a whole lot of wiring hanging out

    getting there....
    Chris.....sounds like an idea that could work man. here is another idea i used on our honda accord that would have occasional dash rattles.........i cut a few pieces of thick rubber strips(i actually used a cheap rubber floormat),then i bent them and pushed them into the corners of the dash so that they were outta sight, and they keep the dash pretty quiet now too...no more rattles. just a thought.:)

    Thats what I have Absorball for. :D But you have some good points on if it makes things worse.

    I have tried. The rattles are IN the dash somewhere. :confused:
    This is what I have been doing. I have also jumped it a few more times with the hope of things going back into place. It didnt work. :eek:

    I have thought about the Dynomat, but I dont want to tear into my dash to put it everywhere. I guess I caould tear into it and actually FIX the problem, but the easy method is what Im seeking. :D
