    Has anyone experienced a rattling noise coming from the dash at low speeds both in reverse and forward? Here’s a video of it. It comes and goes and is especially prominent in parking lots from 0-5 MPH

    Mine does this coming from the passenger side dash near the vent; especially on cold days. I’ve read all sorts posts on what it could be and just don’t want to end up tearing the dashboard apart to try and maybe or maybe not find it; so I’ve resigned myself to accept it and live with it . . .

    I had a hard to trace noise as well coming from what seemed to be dash/radio/somewhere in front. A post pointed me in the right direction- there are plastic pillar caps outside that touch the windshield in each corner. I put some 1/8" rubber weather stripping where they touch the glass and that eliminated the noise. Others have also used the soft part of velcro with success.
