Default those dang Rattles!

I have a rattle noise that happens pretty often, it is coming from the passenger airbag dash area. I know this because when I have the passenger press on the dash it stops rattling... Anyone experience this? If so, whats the fix??

I know simple things like putting the windows down, or turning up the radio = fix, however I usually drive with the radio off to hear the car purr

Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

Check the pillar trim to see if it is rubbing on the dash. Mine wasn't pushed in all the way and was contacting the front right corner of dash.
Also check the contents in the glove compartment!

FORD: 2005-2009 Mustang


ISSUE:
Some 2005-2009 Mustang vehicles may exhibit a rattle noise where the A-pillar meets the dash area. This rattle may be due to worn, missing or off location tape under the dash panel and/or A-pillar dual lock (velcro) fastener(s) not seated.

I've recently noticed my driver and passenger doors rattling. I think its in the back part of the door where it latches. I just don't feel like removing my doors again to check for it.

I have a rattle occaisionally under the car when I am cruising and put the car under a slight load. I saw the thread about the piece in between the engine and transmission, but I thought that was for a car with a manual tranny, mine's an automatic. I have looked at the heat shields and the look fine, not out of shape or touching anything. Any ideas? 2007 and only 8000 miles on car.

I've got the same noise. Its not the a-pillar, its the front dash piece. Seems to be coming from the vent area, or behind the air-bad cover. Def not the a-pillar tho. Haven't looked for the source yet.

There is a plastic insert behind the inner door latch lever that I found rattles a great deal. I used double-sided tape behind both of them, which work perfectly. Be advised, though, that if you ever need to take apart the door panel (ie: replacing speakers), it will make it a bit harder to pop that panel off. It's possible, just a bit trickier.

I shoved a small piece of black felt in the crack between the dash and the a-pillar... squeek hasn't been back since.
