I've heard about rattles upon moonroofs but not anywhere near the gauge panel area.

My TLS has rattles/squeaking noise from gauge cluster.
Not on moonroof. Plan to bring it back to dealer for
repair.

I have a rattle too by the guage area. It sound s like a tick tick every time you go over a bump or something. I can get rid of it when I push UP on the guage panel under the dash. Its right by the screw on the right. I tried tightening it but it just wont get tighter anymore.

Black TL, after driving for a couple weeks with my car taken all apart, I don't think that squeak is coming from the gauges. I think it is coming from the dash right by the window. I can make it go away by pushing on the actual vinyl dash, pushing it towards the window.

Hi TypeSDragon,

Perhaps you can let us know what your dealer says about
this. The rattle/squeak noise is getting louder and louder,
perhaps something is really coming loose.

Rattles, squeaks, groans,moans in the seats / sunroof / door / glove box. I will say that the dealer (Denville Acura NJ) has been VERY good about anything I have asked them for though. Most of these issues are common and known to the dealer.

Is it "sun4u" as in Solaris Arch 4u (SparcII), or just some name thing??? (I am a dork too)

Hey sun4u, I've got a rattle in my glovebox and right-rear window, plus a squeak in my seat-belt buckle (which is going to be replaced c/o Acura Canada).

And since I didn't read anyone else say this: Welcome to the site, I'm sure you'll like it here.
