    Hello all,
    I was chasing down what I thought too be a rattle from the dash board, turned out to be from the rear view mirror. It's not the mount to the glass, but sends to be the mount going into the mirror. Will do more to come up with a fix. Has any one else has this issue. It's a 2009 with 116k, windshield replaced about 5k ago.

    Have you checked that nothing is in the sunglasses holder that could be rattling. Took ages for me to locate that one.

    Only dash related rattle/noise I've heard is near the passengers side triangular window, happens at highway speeds.

    Hoping if I wedge it with something it might go away.

    Definitely the mirror. Moved arm all the way down, rattle goes away. It too low though.
