Help me find the rattle!

I cant find this damn rattle! I think its coming from the center where the clock is, or it might be from the window. Anyone else have this rattle?

I don't have any rattles [yet?!?] but I do have a serious 'creak' coming from the back of my G35x when I hit uneven pavement. I assume its coming from behind the seat and there is a bolt holding a crossmember that I can hit with locktite [sp?] but I don't want to pull the seats out until I have a better idea of what and where the problem is. I would appreciate any help you can provide on this issue as well.

Check under the driver seat, there is a duct there, mine had a wire resting on top of it.

There is a TSB about a creaking or popping from the base of the windshield. Mine does it, especislly when cold.

Try squeezing your mirror. If you have rear view mirror with the homelink it can buzz or rattle. Mine had that. I asked my dealer and they said they would take it apart and put some felt tape in between the plastic. Worked like a charm!

I pulled the TSB Mike and it sounds exactly like what I am experiencing around my windshiled/dash area. Hopefully, this will help the dealer locate this particular rattle.

On another note, I was very excited to discover yet another new rattle in the roof of my G, around the sunroof. This makes a total of 4 rattles and the car only has 1600 miles on it. This seems excessive.
