[s-cars] UrS4 Instrument Cluster Rattle?

[Gregory Wolters]

One time, I found a rattle coming from a loose screw in the sunroof control 
panel.  It was hard for me to figure out where it was coming from.

Gents,

My father replaced the instrument cluster illumination on my mother’s UrS4
and ever since then they have had a horrific resonant rattle coming from
the instrument cluster. He’s taken it out once or twice since then in hopes
of finding it but so far no such luck. I just came back from test driving
it as I’m in town for my mother’s birthday and it is literally bad enough
that I’d trade or sell my car if I couldn’t get rid of it. ;-)  (Then
again, I HATE rattles with a passion.) 

I did take it out and tried to shim the hinge on the bottom of the cluster
with a little cardboard in order to snug it up a bit but there was no
change so I think the culprit lies elsewhere.
