Hello, I’ve been noticing a buzzing/vibrating sound coming from the front of the dashboard whenever i am accelerating between 1500rpm-1800rpm on my J11. Anyone been through something similar? Thanks in advance!

It's the upper plastic cover between the windscreen and dashboard. If I press it down just above the instrument panel (where you have the HUD in some trims, not on mine) the buzzing stops. It also depends on cabin temperature: the buzzing came out with cold and if I switch on heating it stops.

That said, you cannot drive with one hand pressing the dashboard all the time...
As a first attempt, my workshop tried to put some sponge seal on the border but didn't work.
My feeling is that the noise comes from the metal clips that should keep the cover tight down, but became loose for some reason.
I'm waiting for new clips that have been ordered.... I will let you know.
