Annoying rattles and clicks
I have some noises and am looking to see if anyone has simple fixes before I head to the dealer.
The first I've identified and is from the rear sunshade. When it is folded up, it rattles over uneven surfaces (of which there are many around here). When it is deployed, no rattle (or much less anyway).
The second is a sliding sound (almost as if there's a credit card sliding on a plastic shelf). I hear this when there is sideways acceleration (i.e. during a turn). It sounds like it comes from the rearview mirror area.
The third seems to come from the front passenger side and is a clicking sound whenever I go over a bump (like the ones that join different slabs on the freeway). Opening the windows on that side doesn't seem to affect it.
All of these are heard from the driving position and I've not had a passenger in the car yet to help identify the location and/or press things.
There are no loose objects that I'm aware of either in the cabin, various holders or glovebox.

The mirror clicking I used to have when I went over a bump. I fixed it by giving it a huge whack. I get angry eventually and just hit it really hard which seemed to fix it.
