Unknown rattle
The last week or two I developed a rattle in what appears to center by firewall. I thought it was my ops unit relocation rattling around, but I zip tied it and it's still there. I checked the hood bumpstops and played with the hood, checked my wipers and I'm at a loss. It is definitely a rattle and not rpm based tick. It sounds like a bobble more than a rattle if that makes sense. I'm gonna pull the dash next weekend anyhow as I need to replace my hazard switch. Headers going on this weekend so maybe I'll see something. I've attached the video, hoping someone can recognize the sound.

I could swear I heard it coming from the dash. Would've never guessed it was right by my head.

I remember the first year I had my 98. I had a rattle that I swore was coming from the dash area. I looked and looked, disassembled, checked, etc. Turned out it was my targa roof. Sheesh. I made some adjustments to tighten the targa roof seal and the rattle has been gone ever since. I still swear it was coming from the dash. Even had wifey helping to locate. Such fun!!!
