Cluster removal to fix annoying rattle - Alfa Romeo Giulia

[@jimschoene6180]

You have restored my love for my Guilia. I performed this bit of surgery on the cluster tonight and couldn’t be happier. I used hushmat tape, paying extra attention to the outermost small plastic tabs towards the top face of the cluster (I’m positive that’s where my squeak/rattle was). Brilliant!

Thanks a lot for this tutorial! It might get especially interesting when looking to replace the analog gauges with the new digital ones.

Thanks for the demonstration of the cluster removal. Good video. We are on our second Giuli Ti Sport (2017 and 2021) and now a Stelvio QV...no issues with any of them but appreciate the fix if needed

Just an info, not only Alfa dare to rattle. I have a BMW 435i it rattled a lot from behind the cluster, replaced under wty, not solved. Dealer can't do anything more for you, try to live with it. After years of frustration i felt on a youbtube movie which pinpointed the issue . It wss not the cluster but the camera modules for 360° view, rear camera etx. They are somewhere behind the cluster. Too loosely mounted. So if any BMW f series drivers are reading this, and you have rattles, check the camera modules, access from bottom near the pedals and then look upside towards the cluster. I cannot imagine engineer's are not confronted with this during their developments tests.

Thank you! I have the same light rattle and I’m going to try this solution on the weekend. One question: do you need to do something to release the tabs at the top, or do you just pull the dashboard out, after removing the screws at the bottom?

[@geebeesgarage]

It will just release

@@geebeesgarage It did work also for me! After three weeks I can confirm that the rattle didn't come back.

Hey GB, I am looking to replace the passenger side air vent on my Giulia because I suspect it rattles and gives annoying noise, but I dont know how to remove it. Did you try anything with that? Thanks!

[@geebeesgarage]

Thanks very much for watching! I will put a video out in the next couple of days showing you how to remove the trim and see where your rattle is most likely coming from.

Did this actually eliminate the rattle? I just bought a QV a few days ago, and while the rattle isn't constant, any noise in such a car is annoying.

[@geebeesgarage]

Yes it did. Still rattle free.

Havnt had one single one come in for your rattle....usa
