Overhead console

[rookie1]

Hello all! Anyone besides me have a rattle from the overhead console? it's more of a harmonic vibration then rattle in that it doesn't sound like anything is broken off in there and bouncing around it's more like the panel forward of the reading lamps is loose. I don't see any screws does the whole console just yank down?

Yeah, but, it's just my Oakleys and Vaurnets... :D

Take the three scews out and see what it is.

I think theres screws when you open the sunglass area.

Plus one up front IIRC, then attach a swing and sit in it to free it from those PITA clips LOL.

+1 on the clips, durn Ford engineers musta really been worried about the thing falling into somebody's lap. :rolleyes:

You may want to check to see if the door on the swinging tray is fully secured to the hinged frame that holds it into the console. I had a couple of the little tabs that broke on mine, and it did have a bit of a vibration. I ended up dismantling the console, using some acetone cement to bond the door and frame together, and then reassembled and installed.

No more vibration.

no screws or sunglass holder the panel thats buzzing is the square insert housing the buttons. Does anyone know if just that panel comes out?

I have a spare one at home. As soon as I get back I'll take a look at it.
