    Question Sounds like a marble is rolling around in my dashboard. DRIVING ME NUTS!

    (posted on AW also...)

    So, here's what I'm hearing... it sounds like a marble (or more likely a screw or bolt) rolling around INSIDE the dash. I hear it from the passenger side anywhere from the center of the car to the side window. It is NOT something in the glove box as I totally removed it from the car and am still hearing it. It actually sounds higher up... closer to the base of the windshield. Is there a way to safely remove the pass. airbag? Would I need a VAG to put it back?

    I've pulled out a couple of the vents and peaked in with a flashllight but havent' found anything yet.

    Since the car is under warranty I can bring it in, but I'm worried that if by some random chance something fell in (no idea what or how), that I would be charged a ton in labor pulling the dash apart.

    Has anyone experienced this (or similar)? Suggestions? Does anyone have a tips? A diagram of the air vents?

    THANKS!

    I have... it was very faint and went away. It just sounded like like a slight vibration or something inside the dash.
