I've have checked it out, and it doesnt seem to be coming from one place, it's the whole damn thing...

I am willing to bet I'm not the only person dealing with this...

Have any of you fixed it or narrowed it down..??

I really notice it with the windows up.. and the radio low or off.

zomg NOW WE KNOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH.
What a useless person, thanks for the revelational post there!

Anyways, my power window piece rattles also, but when I hold it it also disappears... I think its just set in there pretty crappy. My glove box used to rattle, but it has stopped lately. It seems like my car rattles in a different place every few months.

Mine developed a nice rattle behind the glovebox the other day. Thought it was all the excess cables from my old XEDE harness which I still haven't taken out). Poked around, and it's not the cables.

THis particular rattle showed up this past week, after 77,000+ thousand miles

I know exactly what you mean and I used to have the same rattle where it seemed like the entire top dash pad was squeaking/rattling. This is the nature of having a car with low build quality, cheap interior materials and a rough suspension.

However, the good news is that as the interior settles in, the rattles will go away. My first rattle developed at an astonishingly low 800 miles, but at 12,000 miles the car is quieter now than it was then. Just give it some time, it'll all break in

Mine rattled when i would coast on the highway, and the only way for me to get rid of it was to boost. I took my car to the local tuner and he found the rattle. It was a broken o2 sensor. when the car would coast it would agitate the o2 senor and make it rattle. I thought the rattle was coming from the center console. I figured it was a penny or something that had fallen inside. It drove me nuts for the longest time, i actually almost traded in the car But now im happy again.

My dash was rattling only going above 40mph near the air vents. Took it for warranty work, they couldn't figure it out for 5 hrs. Got the car home, put 3M tape under the plastic trim, on the outside, near the Pillar-gone!

+1 rattles so much it blurs out my rear view. Planning on either wedging the edges with some paper or just squeeze a dab of sealant on it
