Default Bad Ratle in Dash

I have a significant rattle in my dash. The sound is best described as a knocking sound. Also like a marble is hitting something. It is definently in my dash and I have no idea how to get rid of it. Does anyone hae any suggestions ?

Thanks, Dave

exterminator?? sorry brutha couldnt resist rattles in the dash are hard to track down as you feel like you have to take the dash pad off drive the car with someone with you with them feeling everything and having thier ear close to the dash sucks for sure

Give us some idea of location; my '08 has been a rattle trap since day one, so I may have an idea.

I knew a guy who took his car back to the dealer cause he had a rattle in the dash. He made such a fuss, that when picked his car up he drove it to verify the work was done properly! He got back in and opened up his glove compartment and tried to pick up his sunglasses, YEP...... GLUED TO THE DOOR! No rattles!

Moral of the story, check the obvious first!
