Good question, I think. Rattles seem to be common with these cars.

I had rattles on both sides of the dash next to the pillars and down by the windshield. If I put my hand on the dash by the windshield and pillar the rattle would stop. So, I took the moulding off of the pillar but didn't completely remove it so it was basically still in place, took a big piece of foam and mashed it down between the pillar and the molding so when I put the molding back the foam is pushing the molding against the dash board. So far the rattles haven't come back but the test will be when winter time rolls around and things start to contract. It's been fine with the ac on, however.

I still have an occasional squeak somewhere in the dash but I have no idea where it's coming from. And it's so infrequent I can't find its origin.

I'm with this guy. Suspension, vent covers, door handles, and God only knows what else...Yeah, it's a Mustang, but it's an expensive rattletrap to be sure.

had a rattle from the front left a-pillar molding. replaced under warranty.

the shifter boot squeaks a little when in 5th gear on the highway.

my right boomtube was hitting the body underneath and i've fixed that.

now i am getting a rattle right behind the rear seats, from the under body, and i think, not sure, that it is coming from the UCA. i'm bringing it to the shop on monday to get it looked over.
