Front Door Panel: Procedures
Eliminating Noise Symptoms - Reworking Cover Of Oddments Tray
General information
Symptoms
Rattling noise when opening and closing the cover of the oddments tray.
Causes and remedial action
Rattling noises due to insufficient bracing of the cover hinge mounting. This can cause the gear wheel on the damper of the cover hinge to jump over
individual teeth of the toothed segment on the cover if the tolerance conditions of the components are unfavorable.
To prevent the gear wheel from jumping, the spacer on the cover hinge mounting now has an additional securing rib.
On vehicles manufactured before the specified date of introduction March 2005, the spacer on the cover hinge mounting and the damper on the cover
hinge must be replaced in the event of a complaint.
The toothed segment on the cover must also be inspected. If the teeth of the toothed segment are visibly damaged, the cover of the oddments tray must
also be replaced.
