Just wondering if anyone else has a rattle coming from the dash?

I also have the rattle when it's cold out seems to be a common problem. I copied this from another site.


My pass. side rattle is fixed...here's how!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Have had it since day 1.

Metallic sounding. It gets worse when it is colder. Hence during the summer months, it wasn't too bad, but now it is back. With a vengeance.

I have pushed down on the aluminum trim. It stops.

I have reached underneath, inside the glove box and pushed down. It stops.

My dealer has finally fixed it and I begged them to do a TSB on it.

There is a rear mounting bracket behind the airbag that has to be tightened. There are some wires that touch this metal bracket unless everything is good and tight. That's all.

Now, the car is so quiet and lovely that I knew I had to share the fix with all of you other s suffering with the most irritating rattle that I have ever experienced

Mine is on the driver's side too. It drives me frekin crazy at 1200rpm. I can't find it but with the nos installed I am going to wait until it's almost out of warranty before I take it in. It's nothing major but it does drive me nuts.

This is crazy, mine rattles on the driver side, when i push down on the dash it doesn't do it. It is really bad only when it is cold. I am glad to see I am not the only one with this issue.
