Thank you a million times....thiz here noise been going on for 2, 3 months now...irritating as hell...finally took time to check TH-cam TODAY and this was the first video i came across and Wa-La!!! Exactly what it was...thank you...
Yup. Just did this on my 2016 Silverado. Three of the screws were about to fall out. Thanks. Most of the noise seemed to come out of the top left of the dash, now 95% of the noise is gone. The dash panel does seem a bit creaky still tho... I appreciate you!
Thanks sir, has the same issue on my 2015 1500 Silverado after the first week, dealer took care of it, recently purchased another 2015 Silverado but a 3500 with 60k miles... same damn loose bolt... Thanks again super easy fix!!
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Looks like it’s a very common problem. By the amount of comments!!! I was jamming paper in behind and nothing was working. Next would be a sock if I couldn’t find a solution. Good Work!!!
UPDATE: Originally I thought the rattle was in the door,,, WRONG! These were the culprits all along. Glad I found this video before I removed the door panel. Thank you sir!
sweet i was thinking it was a broken wiring harness. I got those panel screws off but I thought I was gonna break the panel trying to pull it off. Thanks for the info! Its been rattling for 2 years!
So, had the same rattle in my 2016 LTZ. Found your video, had it fixed in 10 minutes. Removed knee bolster panel, found that 3 out of 4 dash bracket screws had all backed out at least 1/4". The captive washer on the screw "floats" a bit, and when not tight, is causing the clacking rattle. It should be noted that I drive alot on National Forest/WMA service roads - all dirt/gravel. Likely accelerated the backing out of screws. I see tightening them as a temp fix. On these dirt roads, I feel its a matter of time before they just back out again. A better locking fastener should go there.
My 2016 Silverado has had a very slight rattle coming from somewhere. I usually can't hear it with the radio on. Today I took that cover piece off and all 4 screws were loose. Just tightened them up and put the cover piece back on and went for a drive. No more rattle!
YES!!! I recently purchased a 2016 High Country model and had the same noises coming out of the dash. Thank you for taking the time to show how to remove this panel and correct the problem. The previous owner of my truck must have been deaf or liked the radio on high volume. Thanks again.
Thank you so much for making this. Mine is five years old, got sick of the rattle, found this. After a couple of minutes watching your video and finding out the bottom screws are torn T-15, I pulled off the panel to find one screw just fall out, one was backed it a quarter inch and the rest could use some tightening.
Thank you, I was having difficulty pulling off the panel but I found that if I pulled from the top that it was a lot easier. The rattle has been plaguing me for years and I'm glad that it is finally gone. It ended up being that same lower screw on the right.
1,000 kudos to the guy that made this video. My truck is nearly 4 years old and after driving down a gravel washboard road, my truck started making a rattling noise from under the steering wheel. Started to research TH-cam to determine how to remove the cover without mangling it up and came across this video. Not only did it show me how to remove the cover, but ended up being the solution to my problem as well. Hallelujah!!
I can not thank you enough for making this video! I just bought a 2014 Silverado and the rattle was driving me insane. Turns out I had three loose screws. One was so loose it looked like it could have fallen out at any point. Again, THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!!!! My 2018 has done this since it was new. Drove me nuts. Just did this simple fix, found 3 of my screws barely hanging on and the 4th has fallen totally out. Problem solved! Thanks again man.
Thank you so much! This video was amazing. I took my 2018 into the dealership for FIVE HOURS and they didn’t fix it. The next day I watched this video and fixed it myself, you are a miracle worker lol
I’ve had a rattle in my 2014 for a few months. It had gotten progressively worse so I decided to look for options and found this video. I took the panel off and one of the four screws fell out. It had worked itself out completely. I put it back in and tightened the other three and no more rattle! Thanks!
About to go to my 2015 and fix this. I have a 01 silverado that I love been running strong for 400 000 miles. But this 2015 is making my question my faith in chevy. (Been trying to find the cause of a shake on the 15 from the time I got it.) If change is in the middle console will drive you nuts!!
Thank you so much, this rattle was driving me crazy. 2 of 4 screws were 3/4 of the way out, tightened them down with 7mm socket, all is good now. Thumbs up!!! Thanks again. This was on my 2016 Sierra.
Thank you so much for this video. I have had this issue since I bought the truck in 2015. For three years I have delt with this problem. Even more embarrassing when some one is riding with you. Thank you.
Thank you for this video! Opened mine up and 2 of 4 were loose and making noise. I also found that the battery bracket bolt was loose under the hood and adding to the squeaking. Tightened all these things up and now I can drive in peace again.
I appreciate this video, my 2015 developed this rattle 3 months ago. After getting the lower panel off, one of the four screws fell out. Only one was tight two were a quarter of the way out and the 1 all the way out. Easy and quick fix. Awesome job and good video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. As someone below has already typed - you are changing lives. This rattle has plagued me forever and I finally just fixed it, thanks to you and this video. Thanks!!!
Same thing present in my 2014. I tightened them up 3 years ago and have not had another noise from that area. Mine were as loose as yours are in the video. In my mind, there has to be someone on the assembly line leaving these loose. Look at all of the comments mentioning the same issue.
Dude! I put up with this for soooooo long. Took it to the dealer and it was "fixed" for a few days. Been jamming rags up there trying to stop it. Didn't realize it was so easy to take off. Thank you!
That was EXACTLY the issue I was having with my 2014 GMC Sierra! That noise was driving me INSANE. Thank you for figuring out the issue and posting a video! Great job!
Exact same issue on my 2015 Sierra Denali. It didn't start making noise until about a month ago, but the same two screws were loose and tightening them up solved the problem. Thanks for this video!
Thank you! One of the screws on mine only hand tight, rattling and the sound traveling up thru the dash. I thought it was coming thru top of dash. Great find!
Man, thanks so much for this video! 2014 Silverado with 27k miles. The second I released one of the bottom clips, one of those bottom screws fell to the floorboard! Can you imagine the noise IT was making while trapped in there!? The other bottom screw was loose as well but all four got the locktite treatment. Now to attack that extremely annoying top dash rattle! lol
Thanks for the video. I've had no problem taking my cars apart before but now with kids and being on a budget, I needed to make sure how to take off the lower panel without breaking anything. I have a tendency of gorilla grip items.
I had 99% same problem on my 2014 GMC Sierra. Only difference was I have 4 clips on my plastic panel and 3 of the 4 screws were loose causing my rattling!

Awesome. I was ready to trade the truck. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Looks like it’s a very common problem. By the amount of comments!!! I was jamming paper in behind and nothing was working. Next would be a sock if I couldn’t find a solution. Good Work!!!
Same two screws on my 2016 3500 -- Sanity restored!
Bravo Sir! Same rattle, same loose screw.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I was losing my damn mind trying to figure out what was rattling!!!!
Great job!
2015 Silverado same issue of rattle. Thank you!
This fixed my rattle in 2016 silverado. Thank you!
Ok, 2018 Silverado 1 year old now, removed bolster and found 3 of 4 loose! Quick 5 minute fix, thank you very much the rattling was driving me crazy
UPDATE: Originally I thought the rattle was in the door,,, WRONG! These were the culprits all along. Glad I found this video before I removed the door panel. Thank you sir!
Who would have thought something so simple and stupid would make you consider swerving into oncoming traffic, you saved my life sir!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for this vid .. all 4 were coming out ..
Found the same thing in mine. Thanks for the video.

Actually works even better if you use the small zip ties instead of the metal to wrap around
Spot on! Thanks for this.

Thanks man big help
Same problem on my '14 Silverado and same solution so apparently not a lazy or hurried worker if so many have the same thing going on!
Thank you so much, this rattle was driving me crazy. 2 of 4 screws were 3/4 of the way out, tightened them down with 7mm socket, all is good now. Thumbs up!!! Thanks again. This was on my 2016 Sierra.
Thanks!! 5 minute fix that saved me a trip to the dealer!
My 2016 had the same problem, 3 of the 4 screws were loose. Easy fix at least.
Thank you so much for this video. I have had this issue since I bought the truck in 2015. For three years I have delt with this problem. Even more embarrassing when some one is riding with you. Thank you.
Thank you!
Your diagnoses and fix was spot on. The rattle in my 2015 Silverado was driving me insane. Thank you for taking the time to post this video.
Thank you for this video! Opened mine up and 2 of 4 were loose and making noise. I also found that the battery bracket bolt was loose under the hood and adding to the squeaking. Tightened all these things up and now I can drive in peace again.

Being a gun guy I've learned the value of putting blue Loctite on everything that likes to work itself loose
Same thing present in my 2014. I tightened them up 3 years ago and have not had another noise from that area. Mine were as loose as yours are in the video. In my mind, there has to be someone on the assembly line leaving these loose. Look at all of the comments mentioning the same issue.
Easy fix - 100% was the problem - thanks so much!
11,000 miles and 2 were loose, one backed out 3/8" and dangling. Awesome video. Thanks for posting.
Excellent video. Same exact issue on my 2017 at right around 3 weeks. The rattle was driving me nuts. Saved me an aggravating trip to the dealership
Dude! I put up with this for soooooo long. Took it to the dealer and it was "fixed" for a few days. Been jamming rags up there trying to stop it. Didn't realize it was so easy to take off. Thank you!
Thanks man
That was EXACTLY the issue I was having with my 2014 GMC Sierra! That noise was driving me INSANE. Thank you for figuring out the issue and posting a video! Great job!

Exact same issue on my 2015 Sierra Denali. It didn't start making noise until about a month ago, but the same two screws were loose and tightening them up solved the problem. Thanks for this video!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! hated that damn noise and didnt even know how simple it was to fix.
You're a legend for this video.
Thank you so much have lived with this for almost two years, got the panel off and three of the four were basically falling out
Thank you very much. 2016 Chevy Suburban - same issue.
19s still doing it did mine today
Awesome
Thanks for this video! That noise has been bugging me for a while. I thought it was the hood release lever.
Dude! Your a freakin life saver! My problem was the lower right hex screw! Hell yeah!
Fixed the rattling on my 2014 this morning. Thanks for posting this video.
Great video, easy fix. Thanks!
I had the same issue with my ‘15 with 30,000 miles on it. Two screws were loose and the other two took a 1/4 turn to get loose. Thanks for the video.
This is crazy man. My silverado just started doing this yesterday, it started when drove on a bumpy road. Thanks for the video.
Thanks for info. Did what you did and sure enough that was the problem.
Thank You! This is still happening in the 2018's
Thank you! One of the screws on mine only hand tight, rattling and the sound traveling up thru the dash. I thought it was coming thru top of dash. Great find!
Same exact problem on my 08 Silverado. I had the parking break release that needed removed to get to one of the loose screws. Thanks!
Amazing, this had been driving me crazy for months! Took me a while to find this solution as ive never heard the term "knee bolster" lol
Thanks for the video, I fix my Chevy Silverado "traqueteo" already.
That was the exact problem. All 4 of my screws in my 2014 silverado were loose. One almost completely out
Man, thanks so much for this video! 2014 Silverado with 27k miles. The second I released one of the bottom clips, one of those bottom screws fell to the floorboard! Can you imagine the noise IT was making while trapped in there!? The other bottom screw was loose as well but all four got the locktite treatment. Now to attack that extremely annoying top dash rattle! lol
Phil Shock mine fell out when fixing this also. I found that a plastic rivet had come loose
Thank you! This sound has been driving me NUTS!
Thanks for the video. I've had no problem taking my cars apart before but now with kids and being on a budget, I needed to make sure how to take off the lower panel without breaking anything. I have a tendency of gorilla grip items.
Same thing with my brand new 16 Silverado. Thanks!
Thanks I just found my issue.
Omg yes! Thank you so much!!!! You’re a life changer!
This guy is Jesus. This has been pissing me off for the last few f*cking years. THANK YOU
I had 99% same problem on my 2014 GMC Sierra. Only difference was I have 4 clips on my plastic panel and 3 of the 4 screws were loose causing my rattling!
2016 Silverado same problem
OMG YOU ARE THE BEST! I have a 2014 silverado and has been doing this and driving me NUTS! Thank you soo much for the Video
I have the exact same problem with my 2016 Silverado. Awesome Job, Thanks..
Same thing on my ‘15 sierra denali
