Default Passenger side rattle/buzz?! Check air bag clip!

So over the past month I've had a rattle/buzz when going over bumps. I thought it was coming from the air vent/air vent assembly in the dash or the A pillar hitting the dash. Turns out the rattle was coming from a small clip that holds on the air bag plate. Very easy to access with the glove box open.

Hope this helps out someone else. Only one more rattle to go... coming from the door.

I think I have the same noise. Can you please give a more in depth description or maybe take pictures of what you are talking about?

Look where it says AIRBAG on your dash. Open the glove box and place your hand in the same spot behind the dash and move your hand left until you find a clip that hold the air bag plate in place. You know when you found it because you can push on the clip and it will move the dash plate. I stuck a tiny bit of foam between the clip to make the fit a little tighter. NO MORE RATTLE!

I recently had a rattle in the passenger door, and found a penny had worked it's way from the door pocket into the door itself. I had to remove the window controls to find it. I also had to use a long, thin screwdriver with a piece of tape (sticky side out) to reach and retrieve the penny. This could be causing a door rattle.
