Anyone Have a dash Rattle?

Hey all. I have a dah rattle on the passenger side. sounds like its either by the A-piller or the dah around right around there. I have look and even removed the A-pillar trim put felt on the metal areas and everything and still cant figure it out. Tweeter isnt loose either.

Anyone have this problem. Only notice it when cold.

Thanks

Or do I what I did get a louder exhaust and a bigger turbo to make that whoosh sound then you will never hear the dash rattle

That's problem solved 101

I hear a rattle too sometimes only when its cold and I've noticed its the glove box sometimes it just gets loose in the cold and rattles a little bit.

I get a rattle around the instrument cluster. I think its the plastic trim that surrounds the gauges.

I think there is something behind my glove box or under the passenger side airbag that is rattling on mine. I have solid mounts and no balance shafts and a lot of other stuff so I just chalk it up to the price of going fast. LOL

lol, to be honest I think my rattle actually tattered down a bit. It used to be rattle on the dash and on the driver side door panel but now I cant hear it. Might be that I am used to it already.

turn the radio louder, VW owners have been using this method of fixing rattles for years...

Or put the windows down and like sharkbite said, listen to the lovely sound of horsepower...
