I have a similar buzzing coming from in front of my stearing wheel near my windshield. mine comes from the little circle thing that looks like a black quarter, it just buzzes sometimes. anyone know what this thing does? can i glue it down?

Has there been any definitive find when it comes to the passenger side windshield area noise? I'm also only experiencing it when it's colder, and my girlfriend is tired of being the squeak-fixer (having to press down in that area to cause it to stop).

I've had a crazy rattle the seemed to be coming from my passenger area, that was progressively getting worse. After tearing open the dash to no avail (passenger side panel per OP's suggestion, and center console), I finally realized that it was my battery tie-down (vertical bar) that was loose!

This probably isn't causing issues for most, but wouldn't hurt to check your battery compartment, since it directly behind the passenger dash area!

Thanks for that, i have something similar.

I check the battery, whilst it's not jammed down tight, it doesn't feel too loose. But, it does have a handle on it, which i think is lightly rubbing on the cover, maybe that's it.

Anyone know how to remove the driver side knee bolster area on a 2003?

I must admit I have never owned a car with so many dash rattles and buzzes. Mine scared me one day when I was passing someone. I wound the thing up and got some God awful buzzes and rattles that sounded like an old American V8 with it's lifters floating. I thought it was the engine but low and behold, it was just a plethora of dash rattles, buzzes and ticking sounds. My God, can't they build a car that will stay together anymore? My 1990 5.0L Mustang has no rattles at all. The seat vibrates a little with no passenger in it, but other then that, the old Stang is dead quiet. In my Z,, the three gauge cluster rattles, that stupid metal knee pad rings and there is a ticking in the left bottom of the windshield where it meets the dash. One of these days, if I ever get the time., I will rip this dash apart and seal it in ten gallons of silicon rubber. But for now, it really is annoying. I'm just elated to see I am not alone with this problem. Still,t he car is a hoot to drive. Just wish they had employed a little better interior build quality.

Occasional tapping on the driver side. Goes away when its warm, or when I pound it with my fist.

I just don't see how that metal shield is a knee protector?
