    Default Rear Dash Rattle

    I am not sure of the exact name for it, but, the rear dash board between my back window and rear seat is rattling like (car is 1993 525). Are there screws that can tighten it up or do I need to find another at the scrap yard?

    thanks

    It's probably not the parcel shelf that's making the noise but the C pillar trim, a loose jack in the trunk, or some other item banging around in the trunk. The pillar trim, in particular, has plastic clips that can break when the trim is removed. Reinstalling the trim will keep it in place, but clearances will make it rattle. It's also much more likely that someone removed the trim to access something underneath it and broke it, versus removing the parcel shelf.

    Do you know of any diagrams that would show how to get to and replace the C pillar trim?
