Kitchen lid rattle

[acer]

Our left kitchen lid (for the hobs) is rattling as we drive along. When a passenger applies light pressure to hold it down, the rattle stops - it’s not the table (always my first thought!)

Does anyone else have this problem?

Have you still got the little rubber bumpers on the underside of the glass?

Yes, one on each end. I’m concerned the rattle is caused by something inside the latch, which seems to be inaccessible.

Sometimes it's the tap rattling in the glass if it's not pushed down far enough

Yes, checked that one, but no.

You sure it’s not the cupboard handle, mine rattles and if I leave it slightly open, it stops

Yes, pretty sure, because when a hand is placed on the glass to weight it slightly, the rattle stops.

The rattle also stops for a few seconds when I find some flat road to drive on. Unfortunately, there’s not much of that left in this pothole of a country!

They are called "Bumpons" and made by 3M. There are many fake ones available if you look but the best ones are the 3M ones.

Many thanks, I always wondered what they are called. I do have one bumpon at each end of the lid. Should there be one or two in the centre perhaps?

Check the hob pan supports are pushed fully down - they pullout and can cause a rattle if not seated properly.

Yes, I’ve got exactly the same problem. I can’t see exactly what’s causing it, it appears the catch has some play in it. I’ve solved it temporarily by putting a couple of paper napkins under the lid.

I use 6 bumpons, two for each lid. I have made a schematic to help (I hope). The Bumpons are located underneath the lids to avoid getting in the way when cooking etc. Adhesive side up to the underside of the lids.. Hope this helps.

On our previous Cali we had the same issue - rattling hob glass cover. I used a hole punch to punch out 2 tiny round pieces of Velcro (soft side) and stuck these onto the rubber bumpons on the hob cover - cured the rattle permanently.

Until the sink cover started rattling that is, so I did the same there

Two Bumpons for each glass lid should be sufficient. I have no glass lid rattles having done this little tweak.
