No Rattles, but if it bugs you that much get a cd out.

It may end up going away. Whatever is loose may end up working itself into another position with no rattle. You may end up with more problems if you let them take your dash apart.

Default I hear it when car is idling.

...and I will keep looking for it, but figure it could be worse if
the dash is torn apart to find it. I think it is one of those
better off left alone noises!

If I remember correctly, aren't you in the Bay Area? Victory Chevrolet (Petaluma) has an excellent Corvette tech who specializes in getting rid of "unwanted noises and rattles". Ask for service advisor Patrick Mulligan (OUTSTANDING guy) and tell him that you'd like Drew to work on your car.

I thought I had a dash rattle. It was driving me crazy. This incessant rattle coming from what seemed to be the area of the HUD. Then, I looked up. The inboard clip on the visor had come undone -- obviously when lowering or raising the top. The little plastic bar on the visor was banging against the plastic clip that it was supposed to be in. Clipped the visor back and the rattle went away. Check the visor. Maybe you can get lucky.

Have you tried pressing down on the trim piece around the HUD? That's what rattles on mine sometimes.
