Default Need help!!!

I have a noise coming from the inside of my dash, it doesn't happened to often so it's hard for me to take it to the dealer. It's intermittent, the guy at the dealer said that it would be hard to find something like that but he can put a note in the system just in case it gets worse.. My question is has any one had this problem and should I take it to the dealer and let them take my dash all a part? Here's a clip I took of the noise.. Thanks

Fan motor for the HVAC? Mine makes a somewhat similar noise when it is on and the speed is at 1 or 2.

There is no sound insulation for that motor. It's right behind the glove box, inside the white plastic box.



And why make such a silly subject... at least be more specific in your titles.

Sorry bout the titles, I tried to edit but it didn't let me or I don't know how..

I thought of the motor also but it does it with or without the ac on and it only does it when I first start the car.. I tried it on all the speeds but no change, it those it when the car sits for a while. It's more like a flap

I checked that too but it seems tight. I checked the hood, glove box, wipers, idk it's driving nuts. I just don't know if I should let them take my dash a part

Taking your dash apart isn't hard. There's a DIY on SL. The car is made of Legos, so everything pretty much just snaps together. But if there's a noise and you haven't messed with that part of the car, take it to the dealer and make them fix it.
