Glasses holder / lighting / sunroof control cluster rattle?
Has anyone here experienced a rattle from the middle top area of the car? I have a rattle sometimes when going over bumps, I can't locate the source but sometimes it seems to be coming from the area around the drop-down glasses holder.

I've tried emptying the glovebox and testing with it closed/open, and the sound stays the same, so I don't think it's that. The weird thing is that it's intermittent, sometimes it's pretty rattly and sometimes nothing, sometimes sounds like it's coming from the glasses holder, sometimes like it's coming from the analog clock area. Maybe I'm just nuts.

Have you tried driving with the sunroof open and closed. I got a rattle when closed but open it didn't rattle. I ended up putting felt tape on the part that raises when you open the sunroof and the rattle went away.
Good luck,

I bet it's the lens over the dome light. That's the only rattle I have left. I can ride down the road the barely finger tip pressure and stop the rattle. I can't decide how to address it as I don't want to crack the plastic or waste the time to take it to the dealer.
