YES YES YES YES YES!!! This is the SAME ANNOYING NOISE THAT I HAD! I TOLD them it was the windshield. Then they said they put some "weathering strip" where it connects to the car on the bottom...I took it on a test drive and gave it right back...Then they replaced the WHOLE DASH BOARD...again I test drove it, this time the Dealer's head mechanic con in with me...Then after 3 days (and brand new dashboard) they replaced my windshield. All under warranty! and Rattle is gone ^_^

Have someone slightly push up on your windshield from the bottom as you drive and you'll notice (if its the same problem as mine) No more rattle

Dang, that sounds expensive since I'm not under warranty anymore.

Tried this and still have the rattle. Going to bring the car to the dealership in the next couple of weeks and will update when I find out more information.

Sorry bump old thread but mines makingsame noise. Any easy fix tips? It keeps sound like its behind the glove so I have my glove out and waiting to have wife drive it tomorrow for me to listen.

But my sound is exactly like the video. The bumpier the road the chatter occurs more

I have the absolute same freaking sound. been working on it for nearly 2 weeks. must be affected by temperature as i couldnt replicate it over the weekend when i had time. just got frustrated and pulled half the dash out when i got home from work early. very anxious to fix!!

Hey guys, I had a rattle/tapping sound by the left side of the dash... gets worse at high speeds. the culprit was combination of acorn and leaves rolling around by the windshield wipers ... they get stuck in the corners where the wipers r attached to the motor, and at fast speeds the air makes them rattle.

It may sound simple, but its worth a check to see if there's anything rolling around there.

Saw the video... sounds exactly like what I had. It even stops when the car stops since there's no airflow moving the acorn and the debris.
