Rattle in Dash
I have a rattle in the left side of the dash. I thought it was my HUD, but when I hold it down I still have the rattle. It also doesn't seem to be the gauge cluster or the steering column angle adjustment lever. Any ideas what else is in that area that would do this. I have to hit a sharp bump for it to make noise, but its irritating and its getting more pronounced.

There are two brackets that support the IP Cluster from below. I found on mine that one had a stripped screw from the factory. It caused a rattle. Oh yes, its sharp on the edges as I found out the hard way.

mine makes a pretty sharp rattle in that area too - but if I hold
my finger between the column and the far left end of the radio bezel, it stops - haven't tried to fix it yet - might check yours
