Sounds simple and silly, but have you checked the glove box for something that could be causing it?

They should but some times depends on the dealer. One dealer I went to put headlight back in place and put back of passerenger seat back on when it popped off. My guess it should be free of charge.

I noticed a rattle too as I was driving in Wheelie to my church, I listened carefully to where it was coming from, I traced it to my a/c vent, when I accelerated the rattle would begin, a soft little one,I looked at the two vents that are used for the passenger, I keep them closed because I feel I have no need for them to be opened, I opened 1 of the vents up...and to my suprise RATTLE DISAPPEARS!...I closed the vent again....Rattle reappears, My conclusion....Wheelie's A/C vents are the culprit to the rattling...problem solved! =)

I just found my annoying little rattle... Check the lens for the lights under the rearview mirror. I just put some led replacement bulbs in mine and now that damn lens is rattlin'. It took me over a week to figure out what it was. I agree I HATE RATTLES too

I'm not surprised. My minivan has overhead compartments that rattle. I thought the rattle was in the sliding door until I sat in the passenger's seat. Some things the manufacturer adds as conveniences actually turn out to be a irritant to us.
