Rattle from A-pillar

I have an '05 GSR with 1500 miles. Shortly after taking delivery I noticed a rattle coming from the passenger side dash, so it does not appear to be isolated to the MR.

I had my friend drive while I tried to locate the source. It appears to be coming from the passenger side A-pillar, just below the tweeter. Sounded like something underneath the panel. I'll try removing it and looking for anything obvious. Will post the results ASAP.

Mine is definitly coming from the top windsheild area where the roof and sheild meet and NOT from the dash. I can only describe it as a creaking sound - not a rattle. Your problem may not be the same if it's coming from underneath the panel.

Even my 03 made noises from the front dash and rear deck when it got real cold out. Just wait untill it gets around 0 degrease. It'll get real loud then. The good news is it'll go away in the spring time.

My MR has start making noise now after 410 miles of driving, I hear faint "cluck, cluck" noise from the top of the passenger side windshield, maybe the weather got a little colder so the rubber seal shrunk alittle??? But damn, I am in So Cal, the weather is still in the 60s.

For those that hear the rattle or creaking - do you hear it when the car is at idle too or just when you are in motion? I'm at 486 miles and just started hearing a weird noise - but only when I'm driving - just started this morning - still not sure where it's coming from.
