Windshield/dash rattle

[mrmotorhead05]

my 84 regal has had a rattle in the dash for as long as i can remember
im not sure if its the windshield or not. its a combined squeak and rattle.
Is anybody else experiencing this in their car. any ideas or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Pop your hood at the back center on the firewall is a little black round hard rubber support that the center back edge of your hood sits on when closed. Turn it down a turn or two and I'll bet your noise goes away.

If that does not work, you may wish to tighten all of the dash bolts and screws as they tend to work themselves loose over time.

it probably is the rubber support. I was ready to rear my dash apart looking for the source of the noise till someone on here told me to lube the top of the rubber support and that cured it. The rubber for some strange reason seems to dry out after a couple of decades... 8)

turning down that bump stop worked, i was doubtful but now im a believer

I pulled mine out in 1993 for the same reason. It drove me nuts!
