Rattles in Dash/Centre Console

[Maverick]

now that I drive the passat daily for 1.5 hours, I put a bit more effort in the past week to eliminate squeaks
I started by removing all the dash trims and pieces and putting electrical tape behind the edges, so there's less plastic rubbing on plastic
It seems to have helped a lot
When using felt just be careful don't use ones that are too thick - I tried that months ago and it just put everything out of alignment.

Fabric Adhesive tape used for wiring looms is perfect for that application, you can put it in places that you can't use regular tapes, it stays in place and can be built up by applying multiple layers. And it doesn't leave the sticky residue that electrical tape does after a short time.

Had this problem with our 06 Passat. Took it to service and they fixed it up for me, took 1 day for them to find all the squeaks and they did not charge me
