Hi,

This probably doesn't belong here but I wasn't sure where to post it so mods please move if needed

So my dash all around the drivers side, and my driver's & passenger's side doors rattle and make little cracking like noises anytime I hit rough roads and even when I don't. It is more pronounced on rough roads however.

I haven't been able to find anything that is loose so far, but the rattles are starting to drive me nuts!

Can anything be done to fix this? I would take it in to the dealer but I have a feeling they won't fix it and nothing else is wrong with the car.

Thanks for any help!

Mine makes noises around the vent area. I noticed it went away when I held the direction controls on the vents. Apparently the mechanism rattles in back....
