2024 Dash Rattle by HUD

[Ifly4vamerica]

I have a 2024 and am getting a rattle just aft of the hud opening. If I stick a microfiber towel in there it gets better but not completely gone. It also looks like a portion of the forward dash plastic is misaligned. See pics. The area where the yellow towel is is where the rattle is, to the right you can see a portion of the panel that looks misaligned..

Any body have any advice on how to remove the panel that covers the hud?

Yes I could take it to the dealer but then I don't have the truck for a week, yea a week, my dealer isn't that stellar.

I'm guessing that panel just pops off but figured I'd ask before going crazy.

Another ex Redwood guy here. Sent you a message. Sorry can’t offer any advise on your issue.

In case anybody has a similar problem, the forward dash piece come up quite easily with a trim tool.

The area to the right that was popped up was a misaligned plastic clip, I was able to reach in with a 90 degree pic and pull that back into alignment so the dash sits flush now.

The rattle was because of a second plastic piece that acts as a shield around the HUD display. It is screwed to the dash piece with two screws. However the screws are about 10 inches apart and the span between the screws was slapping together apparently. I just slid a piece of double-sided tape between the two pieces and presto problem solved.

I have seen two other pictures of a 2024 with the HUD that have that raised gap so maybe just a fault with the manufacturing. Not to sure but it's an easy quick fix better than going to ford and leaving your truck. IMHO anyway.

Hey, I just found this thread and I think I have a similar thing going on. Slight plastic on plastic sound right by the HUD that happens when going over bumps. My top dash piece is also popped out, but on the passenger side. Mind going into a bit more detail on what trim piece you popped up to fix the hud rattle? Thank you!
