Need help with Rattle

I have a brand new G35 Coupe I picked up last month, well I decided to take it on a road trip from L.A to Arizona. On the way there everytime I would pass 70 MPH I start getting this annyoning rattle from the front driver side Pillar (Column Where the windshield meets the dash area) which sounded like 2 pieces of metal banging against each other, it was the nastiest sound ever, has this happened to anyone else and is there a quick fix for this or take it to the dealer. Thank you

Similar issue.

I have a rattle where the glass meets the armrest. It's prevalent with cold temperatures and goes away as things heat up and materials expand. Can sometimes duplicate by pressing on the armrest, but nothing reliable.

Of course, the dealership couldn't duplicate.

Now I'm working on the glove box rattle.

the coupe is a rattle box. the whole car will eventually rattle. I've had three areas fixed for this problem and it still rattles. horrible insulation.

Agreed. As soon as you fix one rattle another one pops up. This is the only thing that really bothers me with the G.

Unfortunately, i think it's a nissan thing. My friend has an Altima and he also has the same problem. I rode in an 05 coupe yesterday and the ride seemed a lot quieter and solid.

No quick fix for some rattles. The dealer has a procedure for locating and fixing them. Let him do it.
My '03 Coupe is about the best I've owned for annoying rattles and squeaks.
It has some, but seems very tight.

My Coupe is about 6 months old and I have started experiencing really bad rattling. There's a street on my way to work that is between bad & worse and my stomach turns upside down everyday when I drive on that road. Makes me feel I have a $7,000 Kia and not the G35.

I am taking it to the dealer this week and hopefully they'll be able to do something about it.
